This article is discussing company names, not product descriptors. Krispy Kreme can be called “Meat and Potatoes.” Plenty of “Maple” brand companies that make syrups with no maple in them, for example.

Also, I’m pretty sure that even if they called the individual doughnuts crispy, they aren’t going to get in trouble because they aren’t crispy.

“Cheeze” or “Chik’n” are legally required terms for plant based foods, though.

Headline is misleading. This isn’t a scenario where they let the thief skate because of some “cruel and unusual” stipulation. The cop didn’t follow legal protocol for a number of other reasons, so the ag didn’t have enough credible evidence to move forward

That’s totally fine, I get it, but highlighting a ridiculous statement like “only African Americans are allowed to used slaves” when slavery has impacted numerous cultures and races recently is absolutely, mind boggingly stupid. Maybe even a little offensive considering Australia’s history with slavery was primarily involving Aboriginal people

But also they’ve pretty much disqualified from calling themselves punk if they are seriously concerned about commercial issues
