Pepperoni pizza accidentally marked as "halal"

Post by BigDave »

$100 million seems like fair and just compensation for accidentally eating a piece of pepperoni.

(Incidentally, in the article, the store manager says that the "victim" asked for the halal sticker to be put on the meal, meaning that, if true, the store didn't accidentally do anything - he knowingly bought a pepperoni pizza and stuck a sticker on it so he could sue them.)

I'm assuming from the article that there is something that looks like pepperoni, but isn't made from ham? Analogous to turkey bacon (which doesn't really look like bacon)?

but turkey isn't automatically Halal, and the article said the customer used to work at a pizza shop.

Apparently there are reports that he asked for a halal sticker to be put on the box when he picked it up.
