Stephanie Escobar sued Just Born Quality Confections, the company that sells the candies common to movie theaters in the U.S., after she says she bought a box of Mike and Ike and found that it was only 54% filled with candy. The rest of the space was “slack-fill,” or 46% air, according to court documents.Escobar said she bought the candy at a movie theater in Los Angeles based on information provided by the packaging, including the size of the box, and would never have made the $4 purchase if she had known nearly half of it was filled with air. She conducted her own investigation of boxes of both Mike and Ike and Hot Tamale, and claims to have found that each one had 46% of slack-fill.Escobar had a reaction of “surprise and disappointment” when she opened the box of Mike and Ike candy at the movies, her attorney Ryan Clarkson said.Read full article and learn more about Deceptive Advertising here.
