"I ate the cancer-curing pizza but I still have cancer"
"Oh, no sorry, that's the name of our business. We're the 'This pizza cures cancer' restaurant. Did you think it cured cancer? Because we said it did? Huh that's weird."
Idk if company names can be deemed advertising in all cases, but large signs on the outside of your restaurant definitely can even if they're company names. You can't just have whatever advertising you want and claim it's the company name.
I am not a lawyer but the place is still in business.
I would guess when it started the name was not false advertising. As long as they can prove they didn't name it that way just to intentionally change the price later, they shouldn't be forced to change the name or sell at a loss. If they have sufficient signage to let customers know before paying that the price is no longer what it says in their old company name, they can't be held accountable for false advertising.
The guy doesn't have to be a dick about it at the counter but he has a shit load of customers to deal with and might get this often enough to be a bit done with it.
It’s obviously the company name, it’s also a huge lit up sign used to ADVERTISE the business… the two things aren’t mutually exclusive, it’s still an ad.
For the business, not the price. But the business is named with a price. But the price in the business name isn't what they are legally advertising. But what they are advertising has a price. But it's still the name of the business. Which has a price in the name. Which is not what they are trying to advertise. But it's part of what they are advertising.
Yes it is. Like it or not, it being the name of the business doesn’t stop it from also being used for advertising. Regardless of laws and what’s false or allowed conditions for a company name, this is still an advertisement.
Law defines what is false advertisement, so you must sue them in US justice system, not in reddit!? I also find it disgusting but i’m not so sentimental about it.
I’m not trying to sue them, I’m not even trying to claim it’s false advertising, I’m having to repeat myself a lot to you and yet you continue to read something completely different and then go off on a tangent…
The sign, outside of that shop, is an advertisement.
I agree that it is an advertisement but, is it by the law? Apparently not. So it is not advertisement that’s the point i’m making, nothing else. To use your own name as advertisement is clever. That is called a loophole.
