Hershey adds 'carving not on actual product' note to Reese's pumpkins
Original: reese pumpkin candy carving disclaimer
Hershey has added a disclaimer reading 'Carving not on actual product' to Reese's pumpkin-shaped candy wrappers, following a lawsuit that alleged the pumpkins' carved jack-o'-lantern faces depicted on packaging were not actually carved into the chocolate itself. The change has drawn widespread amusement online, with many treating it as a symbol of over-cautious legal labeling, while others say it settles the question of whether the seasonal candies ever had real carvings.
Why now: A recent lawsuit over the mismatch between the wrapper's carved pumpkin image and the plain candy prompted Hershey to change its packaging, and the unusual disclaimer is going viral.
