Good luck with that. Food and beverage manufactures were required to list their "ingredients", and they sky didn't fall.

yes, I was witness to this tonight. I took my kids to McDonalds for Ice Cream cones, and we spent about 30 minutes on the lobby. During that time, there were more customers doing business with the RedBox machine outside (note, it's almost 100 degrees here) than there were inside buying food.

Man Sues Rockstar Saying GTA:SA Is Based On His Life 124
dotarray writes "From the article: 'Rockstar Games are no strangers to legal action, but it doesn't come stranger than this.
