So I simply didn’t buy that product again. It’s not as though wasting $2 were worth a lawsuit.

If I am considering buying something for the first time, I do want to know what I am getting. If I don’t get a product review, why should I not be able to rely on the advertising.

For example, there are strawberries that might fill up a small cup of yogurt for sale in the store. If there is a picture of a spoon of yogurt with a huge strawberry on it, might I not expect to find a whole strawberry inside with the yogurt? Maybe I would not expect it to be the size of a truck, but, still…

Then again, maybe I should know (not having ever bought yogurt before) that all strawberries are sliced before putting them in a yogurt cup.

I am a bit ambivalent. On the one hand, I don’t want frivolous litigation. On the other hand, I don’t want companies profiting from subterfuge.
