Humor and sarcasm are wonderful tools. Kudos to the PopTort for using both to make General Mills look awful, which it appears to deserve, for tying litigation waivers to buying breakfast food, use of coupons or signing up for social media groups. The New York Times provides a less humorous account of the strategies employed by General Mills. The punchline is the following missive from General Mills:
“We’ve updated our privacy policy,” the company wrote in a thin, gray bar across the top of its home page. “Please note we also have new legal terms which require all disputes related to the purchase or use of any General Mills product or service to be resolved through binding arbitration.”
