HERSHEY, Pa. (CBS) – A Florida woman is upset about the lack of designs on Reese’s holiday-themed peanut butter candy - and now she’s taking parent company Hershey to court over it.

Cynthia Kelly filed a federal class-action lawsuit Thursday in the U.S. District Court in the Middle District of Florida, alleging several Reese’s products don’t match their photos as depicted on the wrappers.

For example, Reese’s peanut butter pumpkins are merely pumpkin-shaped hunks of peanut-butter-stuffed chocolate, and the actual product has no Jack O’lantern-style carvings as the wrapper depicts, Kelly alleges.

    If you watch behind the scenes footage for food ads you’d see people doing the exact same thing you’re doing. Such gussying up should be illegal

      I want a law that says all food must be advertised with random samples pulled from real restaurants.

      Like… You apply for an ad shoot permit, and a state inspector secret shoppers you four units from the area. You have to take photos as-is, no makeup or reconstructing.
