We're Out Of Soup, But We Can Stir Ketchup In Your Water Glass If You Want

An attorney who made headlines the other day by threatening a lawsuit when a restaurant's combo meal didn't come with the promised bowl of soup has cancelled the threat under a firestorm of social media pressure. And, yeah, threatening to sue for a couple of bucks plus attorney's fees is a dick move. But the restaurant's insistence that soup comes free "while supplies last" -- like a bread basket or something -- is lame, too. I've never heard a menu promise something, then in the fine print make it optional. I DO know restaurants which sometimes give you a cup of soup gratis, but they don't advertise it, so when they don't, it's not like you were misled. (WFAA-TV/Dallas)
