Florida woman, flustered by mac & cheese instructions, now suing Velveeta

Just remember, you could always be dumber. A Florida woman is taking legal action against the proprietors of those glorious cheese shells because she feels like the instructions printed alongside the mac & cheese don’t live up to their end of the deal. Amanda Ramirez claims the statement on the bottom left-hand corner of the box that notes the product is “ready in 3½ minutes” is false and misleading because the product takes longer. The directions on the back of the package detail four steps in preparing the macaroni and cheese, and the lawsuit says that one of the steps, microwaving the food, takes 3 1/2 minutes.

Per KIRO 7, “She accuses the company of violating state and federal laws against deceptive and unfair trade practices, fraud, false and misleading advertising, breach of express warranty, negligent misrepresentation and unjust enrichment, according to the newspaper.”

Now let’s all take a moment of silence and think of the lawyer that spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in law school and now has to defend mac & cheese instructions in a court of law.
