My hand sanitizer only kills 99.99% of germs. Should it not be allowed to be called hand sanitizer because it cannot kill all of them?

I'd agree with this comparison if the ruling meant that they had to advertise their wings as "~99.9% boneless" the same way hand sanitizer labels itself as being ~99.9% effective.

The menu next week will contain a asterisk small print "customers are advised that while all care is taken, some bones may be present"

That'd be funny and also still accurate. It'd end up being one of those asterisks.

I think that's a fair result.

Either way, they'd be allowed to sell the 99.99% boneless wings, despite them technically not being guaranteed boneless.
