We all have heard the saying, “What you see, is what you get”. But this may not be true most of the times. In a recent instance in Hudson Valley (State of New York); Anna Wurtzburger surely was surprised as to what see got. Things became interesting when she decided to take action on what she felt was not right.
She had purchased a $20 bucket of chicken from KFC. She was impressed with the many advertisements she had seen on the telle and other places. But what she thought, she was buying was a bucket full of fried chicken, enough to feed a family, was just half filled bucket with small eight pieces. Her first thoughts were “Where is the chicken?”. Later while talking to the media she said ““They say it feeds the whole family … They’re showing a bucket that’s overflowing with chicken, You get half a bucket! That’s false advertising, and it doesn’t feed the whole family. They’re small pieces!”
On complaining to the fast-food giant’s Georgia headquarters, she was told the chicken was portrayed prominently on the commercial “so that the public could see the chicken.” “If you want the public to look at your chicken, put it in a dish,” she fumed. “It’s a lot of BS. … I expect to get what you’re telling me.” Putting her money where her hungry mouth is, Wurtzburger hired a lawyer and filed a lawsuit, demanding KFC change its advertising. Retired from the Fishkill Correction Facility, Wurtzburger lives off her Social Security check and said the KFC meal was supposed to be a rare treat.
The grandmother seeks $20 million in damages. KFC officials have called the lawsuit “meritless.”
