Those delicious Jolly Rancher Hard Candies you love are being hawked in a bag full o’ lies … according to one sour customer who says his sweet purchase was mostly air.
It’s gotta be bad when you sue over freakin’ candy, but yeah … a California man says he bought a 3.8 oz. box of Jolly Ranchers and was shocked to discover it was less than 50% full. He says although he didn’t expect it to be “crammed full,” the excess of empty space was unacceptable, and he’s blaming it on the packaging.
According to the docs … the box is designed to hide the severe lack of colorful candy on the inside, which is misleading and downright wrong.
He’s not in it for the money — he just wants his $3 back. Well, he’s also putting Hershey’s — the maker of Jolly Ranchers — on the clock. In the suit, he wants the judge to give the co. 12-18 months to sell off its deceptive packaging and roll out the good stuff.
$3 and a dream.
