Mildly Infuriating

This is Vital Proteins brilliant response to being taken to court over heavy metal and "foreign materials" contamination in their products.

There's an easy solution: keep buying it, break the seal to get to the message, then return it. Have your friends do the same, at the same store. Pretty soon that product will be gone and you can move on to the next store.

If the store starts to bitch about it, you can claim that you wanted to see if the statement had been removed.

Add to this the fact they try to enforce mandatory arbitration - a thing that shouldn't ever exist to begin with, in any jurisdiction, and is actually unenforceable in many.

Is there a bigger red flag than a message on it saying 'if you break this seal you can't sue us!'

Forced Arbitration should be illegal everywhere.

What is it?

Ah! That's one of the worst parts of the internet, and they've figured out a way to make it real.

At least they mention the arbitration upfront, I guess.

I hope you returned that shit. That’s not mildly infuriating, that’s capitalism has officially run amok and needs to be taken out back and shot in the head

Would love to see them try and enforce whatever EULA they wrote up.

This isn't mildly annoying, this is corporate hellscape.

Write on the money you used to purchase this by accepting this money you agree to the terms of service...

Eat shit turdblossoms.

Open it from the bottom.

That's concerning.

Holy shit. How does this not just reduce their sales to 0?

Interesting how we've all become accustomed to the notion that "agreeing to arbitration" has just become "waving your consumer rights" and no lawmaker is pushing to have that fixed.

A good attorney could argue that drilling a hole in the side of the carton does not constitute opening the package.

At the board meeting, I want to hear when they decided to broadcast that they're expecting to get sued, but in a really cute way
