On the surface this might sound silly but after looking at the chocolate it's straight up false advertisement. They know people will buy it specifically because of the way it looks. It's bait and switch.

Yeah, this isn't like a fast food burger that isn't quite as elegantly stacked as it appears on a tv commercial or something. This is clearly advertising a candy with a jack-o-lantern shaped cutout in the chocolate while selling you something different. It makes for a silly headline that's perfect for this community, but if she wants to sue them over it I'm gonna side with her on this one.

It's deceptive and corporations shouldn't be allowed to get away with crap like this. Because if we let them get away with this little lie they won’t stop there. They will only get bolder and more egregious.

And shame on business insider to down play it as someone complaining they're not 'cute' enough.
