" A New York resident has filed a class-action lawsuit against King’s Hawaiian for not actually making its rolls in Hawaii.
Robert Galinsky claims that he was misled into buying the rolls, Hawaii News Now.
He notes that the back of the label indicates the product is made in California, but the front of the packaging features “Hilo, Hawaii,” which could make people think the bread was made there"
Can I start a class action suit for ‘Danish Pastries’ not actually made in Denmark?
I feel sorry for foods (sic), claiming to be from countries they aren’t from. Inanimate objects attempting sentience is, I suppose, evolution of a sort, but they should wait it out for a few hundred thousand years, instead of jumping the gun.
It isn’t the most artful title, I admit (although ‘food’ can be pluralized). A bit hungover from festivities. I just felt ‘Just Weird!’ didn’t really tell us anything about this thread, but @Belgian_Pie can change it to something else or change it back.
Wow, I haven’t thought about King’s Hawaiian bread for a long time–during my junior high school years I lived right around the corner from the bakery. Yeah, it’s in Torrance (California), but even at that young age I knew “Hawaiian” probably meant Hawaiian style/recipe. Torrance also has (had?) a large population of Asian-Americans, so a Hawaiian native might have started the company as well. People will sue for anything.
