US News Man takes Pizza Hut to court over 'excessively hard crouton'

Here's a lawsuit with bite - literally.

A Tennessee man took Pizza Hut to court over what he called an "excessively hard crouton."

Everett Chattman, of Harriman, Tennessee, was eating at a nearby Pizza Hut when he allegedly broke a partial denture as he bit into a crouton.

According to the Roane County News in Kingston, Tennessee, Chattman and his lawyer initially attempted to deal with the situation through insurance, but they filed suit when negotiations stalled.

WBIR reports Chattman accused Pizza Hut of causing personal injuries and damages.

And his lawyer used what we're guessing is some out-of-the-ordinary legal language to do it. He said Pizza Hut damaged Chattman's denture by "negligently serving at defendant's restaurant excessively hard croutons."

Sounds legit, right? Luckily for Chattman, the judge saw things his way and awarded him $2,400 along with interest and court costs.

$2,400 ain't a lot, it's obvious the dude just wanted his dentures fixed. Fucking insurance companies.

Makes sense to me. You pay for something to eat, the food breakes your teeth when you bite it, you want to get your medical bills paid to fix the damage.
