The news stories interchange $5b and $5m

It’s 5M for sure, the more credible sites all say M, and also given that this is a false advertising case, the damages would be loosely limited to the aggregate purchase price of the products (plus attorneys costs), and 5M fits a lot better than 5B there.

Just sayin …

It’s not the bite they’re suing over, it’s the little design in it, which you would reasonably expect to match the packaging, and is something that people wouldn’t be too happy about if they wanted to make a platter out of it or something.

They are suing because what is shown on the package is not what is in the package.
The bite is CLEARLY shown. Just sayin!

In my experience there typically is not an expiration date on items not labeled for individual sale.
On the individual candy pieces, like the jolly ranchers, definitely not. I can’t remember ever seeing a mini bag of chips that didn’t have a date printed on them though. Could be wrong.
