A little levity on a snowy day.

The only thing worse than the waste of skin who initiated the law suit is the slime ball "lawyer" that took it on

It's the Excited States. Kids learn how to bring a lawsuit in grade 3.

That would be funny if it was not a setup.

Down there law suits are so easy and awards can be in the millions for as little as a scratch, there are people who try to use the courts to further their agenda and they often succeed.

One has to ask, why would he even suspect his burger was cooked on the same grill as real meat products? Could he see the grill from the drive in lane?

Or could he taste it?

The answer to both is an obvious no. If he could see the grill from where he was he wouldn't have accepted the burger and he wouldn't have a case.

He wouldn't have tasted it because it is meant to taste like a real burger.

Therefor he had to have had previous knowledge of what he would get so it was obviously a setup.

A group of Priests in Wetaskiwin tried the same stunt when strippers were first allowed in the bars.
They lodged a complain but were told they had no case if they had not seen the strippers themselves so they walked into the bar, turned around and left and then launched a new complaint claiming that a kid might wonder in and be traumatized.

The case was thrown out at the first hearing.

Easiest solution would be to ban the sale of these so meatless burgers. Problem solved. If the tree huggers want their plants they should not try to make it look like they are eating meat.

The only way I think that lawsuit should have ever even been filed was if the man was actually allergic to real meat but in that case he should have been much more careful about ordering from a burger joint that pays minimum wage.
