Consumers cannot expect boneless chicken wings to actually be free of bones, a divided Ohio Supreme Court ruled Thursday, rejecting claims by a restaurant patron who suffered serious medical complications from getting a bone stuck in his throat. 

Michael Berkheimer was dining with his wife and friends at a wing joint in Hamilton, Ohio, and had ordered the usual — boneless wings with parmesan garlic sauce — when he felt a bite-size piece of meat go down the wrong way. Three days later, feverish and unable to keep food down, Berkeimer went to the emergency room, where a doctor discovered a long, thin bone that had torn his esophagus and caused an infection.

In a 4-3 ruling, the Supreme Court said Thursday that “boneless wings” refers to a cooking style, and that Berkheimer should’ve been on guard against bones since it’s common knowledge that chickens have bones. The high court sided with lower courts that had dismissed Berkheimer’s suit.

Ahh yes, another court in the pocket of corporations.

Some fat ass doesn't chew his food and suddenly corporations win? You can never have perfection with organic products. What exactly do you want done to guarantee meat from a boned animal isn't left in the meat? And how much will it cost to do it, and are you willing to pay for it?

*I'm glad Ohio judges are more intelligent than most of you all.

why do you even worry about it, this doesn't interfere with your boot diet.

I hope you choke on chicken bone while reading The Jungle. I hope for your last moments to be ironic.

Then break a tooth when you bite too hard on a "boneless chicken"

Or what, you gonna say you chew slowly too?

It's actually kinda fucking insane of you to take the side of "business should be allowed to flat out lie to you, even after it almost kills someone". Maybe talk with a psychiatrist about your lack of empathy. There's probably a diagnosis for your level of sociopathy

Seems the judges on two different levels sided with me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Let's be clear. Republican judges.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

"appeal to republican judges" has to be the worst variant of appeal to authority.

Legality isn't morality, if your only defence to a moral charge is that it is legal then you are a wannabe slave owner born to the wrong time. Scum.

I'm just of the belief that it's stupid to expect perfection from organic food sources.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I wouldn't exactly call a bone in boneless wings asking for perfection. That's actually such a low bar that I can only imagine your standards of perfect must be absolute shit. Who hurt you?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

What kind of hail corporate nonsense is this? Either call it “fewer bones” or have it be without bones. I don’t expect it to be a certain price but I expect boneless chicken to be just as boneless as it is chicken.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

That's a pretty ignorant take. "thing"less means without "thing". Boneless means without bones. Without means there isn't ANY in something.

THEIR process, which is not the customer's problem to solve, should guarantee there are no bones left in any product labeled "boneless", because that is how words and companies work...

You cost statement is irrelevant. It's capitalism, baby! You make boneless stuff as advertised and set the price at what the market will accept. If your company can't make "BONELESS" wings, then you don't get to sell them until you figure out a cost effective way of doing it. Use a different word that isn't a complete lie.

Judges can be bought and make stupid calls that only morons support...see also SCOTUS.
