Are you up for the Darwin awards?

You wouldn't get any money since they didn't harm you in any way.

Avatar bro. But I was first.

I ordered a kebab and chips last night from my local takeaway, it was part of one of their offers, you get a kebab, chips and a can of drink for £4.00. Anyway, the food was delivered, and when I opened it up I saw printed across the can of coke a clear yellow banner - MULTIPACK CAN - NOT FOR INDIVIDUAL RESALE. Surely they're not legally allowed to do this... can I sue them? How much money could I get?

they might give you a free kebab as compensation if youre lucky

Nothing in particular, except I don't like it and bought a 'bread and butter roll', not a 'bread and low-fat spread roll'. If I'd known it was low-fat spread, I would have just bought a bread roll in Waitrose on my way home and buttered it myself.

Ohhhhh I see. Sorry. I always misunderstoodwhat people say please forgive me. :frown:

So basically they advertised something that they do not have. :smile:

You can TRY and sue whoever you want.

You'll be laughed out of the court though :smile:

It's a well known fact that multipack cans are 70 micrometers thick as opposed to the 90 micrometer thickness used in individual cans - it's to reduce costs. If I was to accidentally rip the can open and slice my arm on it how about then?

IIRC, Donoghue v. Stevenson dictates it'd be your fault for being a retard because you cutting your arm open isn't a foreseeable event. If there was a decomposing snail or something then you'd have a case.

You would bleed and die. Then, as the last vestiges of life-giving blood ooze from your soon-to-be withered body, we'd all celebrate. End of.

It's always really embarrassing when someone makes a troll thread and then feels that it is not obvious enough that they are trolling, so posts a more obvious troll reply like this. I honestly feel so embarrassed for you that you can't even successfully troll.

Mate I posted a topic the other week of something just as shocked, we need to crack down on these thieves and cheats. I got a can of sprite stolen from me. Can you believe it? Sue them.

Then your issue would be with Coca-Cola for making such a dangerous drink.

They didn't sell it individually, they sold it with the kebab and chips :ahee:

I once tried to sue my local fish and chip shop for advertising a bread and butter roll that actually came with low-fat spread.

It didn't go well. :frown:

People seemed angry at me when they went out of business, for some reason.

Whose stand up is that?

I've heard it before... :cool:

How on earth would you rip the can?
You sound like the idiots who sued McDonald's because their coffee was hot :rolleyes:

I fail to see how I am trolling, it's a genuine question. As far as I'm aware, I haven't insulted anyone, I haven't flamed anyone, I haven't caused any problems. Perhaps my ways of making money are a little unorthodox, but it's a well known fact that Lord Alan Sugar didn't make his millions by sitting around and not sueing local businesses.

Haven't got a clue, never find stand ups funny.

I've posted about my experience with the bread and low-fat spread roll before; maybe it's familiar from TSR?

People in America often sue McDonalds for making them fat, at least mine is a genuine issue, not something that is a result of overconsumption and greed.
