A real nut case: Cold Stone Creamery faces suit over lack of real pistachios in pistachio ice cream
A federal judge in New York has given the go-ahead to a New York woman’s class action lawsuit which claims consumers are being duped by Cold Stone Creamery when they purchase certain flavors that “do not contain their represented ingredients.”
Is it nuts to assume a scoop of pistachio ice cream should contain actual pistachios? Or how about real butter in a dish of butter pecan?
Such weighty questions about a favorite summertime confection could soon be decided by the courts.
A federal judge in New York has given the go-ahead to a Long Island woman’s class action lawsuit that claims consumers are being duped by Cold Stone Creamery when they purchase certain flavors that “do not contain their represented ingredients.”
Lead plaintiff Jenna Marie Duncan purchased her serving of pistachio ice cream from a Cold Stone Creamery store in Levittown, New York, in or around July 2022. According her lawsuit, Duncan “reasonably believed that the Pistachio ice cream she purchased from defendant contained pistachio.”

The horror - can you imagine?! No real pistachios, are you fucking kidding me?!?! It’s like the goddamned bread lines in Mother Russia during the 80’s!
/s because I just know…
I'm confused, are you against consumer rights? I don't think anyone actually cares if it's real or fake. They just want it to be on the packaging so they can make an informed choice
If you want to advertise your "Pistachio flavored confectionery" you can put whatever you want in it - if you're calling it "Pistachio Ice Cream" I expect actual pistachios to be contributing mainly to the flavoring. I'm honestly sad we allow "X flavored" instead of forcing these shit-heels to explicitly call it out like "Artificially X flavored" but it'll take a lot of consumer advocacy to get us back into the realm of sanity.
Are you one of those people who thinks if a bad thing is not as bad as another bad thing then it isn't bad at all?
Because I'd personally rather be poked in the eye than stabbed in the chest, but I wouldn't say either thing was good.

Instructions unclear, proceeding to stab you in the eye.
And as in pain as I am, I'm not dead like I would be if you stabbed me in the chest, so you proved my point!
Now, if you excuse me, I'm going to the emergency room.
We really need to find you a good cleric. Not sure you could afford a Heal though.
Can I have a bionic eye?
And can there be a cool sound effect when I run?
