Reese’s Peanut Butter Pumpkins Get Reprieve From Federal Judge. Happy Halloween!

A federal judge has cleared the way for Hershey’s to revive its chocolate pumpkins this Halloween.

A consumer lawsuit against the chocolate giant had alleged the packaging for Reese’s Peanut Butter Pumpkins was misleading.

The plaintiffs alleged that packaging showed chocolates with detailed designs that were not present on the actual candy, USA Today reported.

Nathan Vidal of Florida said he bought three bags of Reese’s chocolate pumpkins because he believed they would feature the eyes and mouth shown on the package.

The lawsuit said the actual chocolates were blank.Hershey argued that reasonable consumers would understand the images as suggestions and pointed to a “Decorating Suggestion” disclaimer on the packaging.

The company also argued customers received exactly what they paid for: Reese’s candies that were not defective or inedible, the paper’s Anthony Thompson reported.

U.S. District Judge Melissa Damian dismissed the case, finding the plaintiffs had not shown they suffered a financial loss from buying the peanut butter pumpkins.

Thought they were called ” cups “? I guess you wouldn’t want to use the word ” cups ” and that picture in the same frame.

Useless thirst trap.

Have some standards if you all want to be taken seriously.

All shit like this does is make the Maine Wire look like every other tabloid targeting horny idiots.

You guys are the one paper in Maine trying seriously to restore conservative values. Don’t give the liberals any low hanging fruit by playing into the “hur dur conservatives are low IQ good old boys who like boobs” stereotype.

Whoever lets this idiot pick his own thumbnails needs to be fired. Every article he writes uses some utterly irrelevant thumbnail that only serves to show what a pervert he is.

I used to be proud to tell people about the Maine Wire, but I will no longer be recommending them while Mr. Cohen is allowed to pull this crap.

Your just telling jessica to calm down cause your a habitual masturbator who likes any and all boobs…I agree with her….

I was actually just talking about this the other day…did cohen get hired to do dumb pieces with stupid (ai?) photos or is that all he is capable of doing?

His pieces really do water down the overall quality of the maine wire.

I usually skip cohens work now, it’s pretty mindless garbage….
