Man Suing Buffalo Wild Wing Says Boneless Wings Are Just Nuggets In Fancy Sauce
WGNTV – A Chicago man has filed a class-action lawsuit against Buffalo Wild Wings, claiming the restaurant chain falsely advertises its boneless wings as the real deal, when in reality, he believes them to be nothing more than chicken nuggets.
According to court documents obtained by WGN, the plaintiff, Aimen Halim, filed a complaint Friday in the U.S. District Court of Northern Illinois against Buffalo Wild Wings and Inspire Brands Inc., an Atlanta-based company who the complaint says “is responsible for the composition, preparation, advertising, marketing and sale of” Buffalo Wild Wings’ product.
The complaint seeks to challenge what it calls “the false and deceptive marketing and advertising of Buffalo Wild Wings’ Boneless Wings,” and goes on to say, “Specifically, the name and description of the Products (i.e., as “Boneless Wings”) leads reasonable consumers to believe the Products are actually chicken wings.”
Halim claims Buffalo Wild Wings description of the product leads customers to believe their boneless wings are deboned chicken wings made up completely of chicken wing meat, when the product is actually slices of chicken breast deep fried like chicken wings, and are compositionally more like chicken nuggets.
There’s petty; then there’s Aimem Halim.
After launching his “Boneless wings are just nuggets” lawsuit, Buffalo Wild Wings tweeted their airtight defense.
“We know, dickhead.”
It’s true.
Our boneless wings are all white meat chicken.
Our hamburgers contain no ham.
Our buffalo wings are 0% buffalo.— Buffalo Wild Wings (@BWWings) March 13, 2023
Whenever a person starts a CLEARLY frivolous lawsuit, I always return to the same question…
“Do you not have a job, wifi, or cable?”
Everyone is suing everyone in 2023. I’ve been told “I’m Suing You!” by Brendan Miller, Eugene Melnyk (RIP), Lisa Kirby, and about 5000 anti-vaxxers for everything from “Doxxing” to pointing out Brendan Miller is a shit lawyer to calling someone a liar.
The threat of a petty lawsuit exists for 1 of two reasons:
The person behind the threat is a HUGE pussy with many things to hide, OR someone wants free money.
Sometimes both.
In the case of Mr. Halim, he found a loophole most of us accepted as truth – boneless wings are sauced up chicken nuggets. It’s in the menu description, but Mr. Halim can’t comprehend the “Boneless” part of Boneless Wings. So, he’s suing. Naturally.
I have questions:
Did he think employees stripped the bones from the wings before deep frying them?
Is he angry about the name? If a chicken wing has no bones, it’s still a chicken nugget, right? The only thing missing is the bone, and the way they make nuggets suggest parts of a wing exist in the nuggets. So he loses there too.
He lost when he decided boneless wings were just nuggets last week.
God-speed, fella!
