J4MES OX4D 10,035 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Drinks brand Red Bull have been forced to pay out $13m to customers after they were sued by customer Benjamin Careathers for false advertising as the drinks 'did not give him wings' after a decade of drinking the product. The company will offer refunds of $10 for anyone who has purchased the drink in the US within the last 10 years and have promised to 'amend their advertising in future' http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/11155731/13m-lawsuit-proves-Red-Bull-doesnt-give-you-wings.html I've seriously seen it all now!

Drifter 851 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I truly can not stand the way society is these days. So many people need to be bitch slapped back into reality that is just makes my head spin. Now if you will excuse me, I need to file my lawsuit against Disneyland because it is not the happiest place on earth IMO so they owe me some cash. And maybe I'll stop off at KFC just on the off chance that I do not find it finger lickin' good, they may owe me something as well.

Back on earth the flame of life burns low Everywhere is misery and woe Pollution kills the air, the land and sea Man prepares to meet his destiny, yeah Rocket engines burning fuel so fast Up into the black sky so vast Burning metal through the atmosphere Earth remains in worry, hate and fear With the hateful battles raging on Rockets flying to the glowing sun Through the empires of eternal void Freedom from the final suicide Freedom fighters sent out to the sun Escape from brainwashed minds and pollution. Leave the earth to all its sin and hate Find another world where freedom waits. Past the stars in fields of ancient void Through the shields of darkness where they find Love upon a land a world unknown Where the sons of freedom make their home Leave the earth to Satan and his slaves Leave them to their future in their grave Make a home where love is there to stay Peace and happiness in every day Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/1770-red-bull-13m-lawsuit/#findComment-43976 Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyberninja2601 1,106 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 It is hard to imagine that anyone who saw Red Bull's advertising slogan would actually believe the caffeinated soft drink "gives you wings", but in litigation-hungry America the claim has been officially falsified. Benjamin Careathers, a regular consumer of the fizzy drink, sued the company for false advertising, arguing that after 10 years drinking Red Bull he neither had wings nor any enhanced athletic or intellectual performance. According to the complainant, the Austria-based firm deliberately misled unsuspecting customers to spend millions of pounds on the premium drink in the hope of gaining an edge on their competitors. And fearful of a costly and time-consuming trial, Red Bull was forced to settle the case out of court, pledging to refund $10 to any US customer who bought the drink since 2002 and agreeing to amend future advertising He has a point. It's pretty clear he doesn't have enhanced intellectual performance Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/1770-red-bull-13m-lawsuit/#findComment-44366 Share on other sites More sharing options...
