I’ve never had ‘boneless wings’. I thought ‘boneless wings’ were a marketing term for chicken nuggets. ---

It _is_ a marketing term for nuggets prepared and spiced in the style of buffalo wings. “Buffalo wings” themselves being a technically misleading marketing term since bison have no wings and the idea has long escaped that New York industrial city near Niagara Falls. But some moron tried to sue some restaurant claiming that the fact they were not really wings that had been deboned meant that said restaurant owed said moron eleventy gazillion dollars for “false advertising.” Which is why said moron finds themselves in this thread. ---

> [@Smapti](#): > > Ohio Supreme Court says that the phrase “boneless wings” does not imply that the food contains no bones. I totally disagree. I think the court very much said that “boneless wings” implies no bones. What that description doesn’t do is guarantee no bones. ---

I think that once it was decided that “foot-long” hotdogs and sandwiches don’t really have to be a foot long, all bets were off. ---

> [@kayaker](#): > > Ivory Soap is 99 44/100% Pure. Cool. But what if it is 56/100% feces? Probably not. The 99.44% refers to the par that the salt of a fatty acid (one definition of “soap”), the 0.56% is just anything else – fragrance, lotions, unreacted fatty acids, gravel, maybe even feces. But probably not. ---
