In reply to the discussion: Nutella to Pay $3 Million - Deceptive Ad [View all]otohara
(24,135 posts)61. I mentored A young girl
They chose me because she wanted to lose weight, she was 11 at the time and obese. I taught her to read labels, told her McD's was a no,no!. Her grandma kept buying Twinkies. Her mom was a frequent visitor to McDonalds. Twinkles and McD's won!
Nutella really pushed the healthy claim to poor folks who don't read labels!

It's ridiculous? The ad says one thing, the label says another, but the lawsuit is ridiculous?

I'd never tasted Nutella until a couple of months ago when there were samples at the grocery store.

I would be interested in the details. How much of the settlement do lawyers get?
