In this video, which currently has over 6.4 million views, Wrigg looks over the refrigerated section with Kentucky Legend ham. After just a few seconds, he’s able to identify several hams that have significantly incorrect weights listed.
Bringing them all to the scale, Wrigg first demonstrates the scale’s accuracy by placing a 2-pound weight on it. Then, he weighs the hams. Consistently, each ham is around 3.1 pounds lighter than it claims to be on the package.
In a later video, Wrigg voices his concerns to an employee. The employee then verifies that the meats were incorrectly weighed.
*** and ***
In a TikTok DM exchange, Wrigg told BroBible neither Walmart nor Kentucky Legend has reached out to him about his videos. In the meantime, he has reached out to reached out to the Georgia Department of Agriculture Weights & Measures.
“I want is an explanation on why [there] were not better controls in the grocery department,” he said. “I have three videos and three different Walmarts with three different meats and three different brands; I found all of it in under seven minutes in each store. They seem to have no care to be surveying and checking their prices, whether they’re marking them or not.”
He further expressed a desire for procedures to be put in place to prevent this from happening. Wrigg added that, in his view, these procedures should have been added after the $45 million settlement.

How come in Japan, companies are scrupulous that the picture must match the product? But here in the USA, it’s like everything is “optional”. The best way is to put the consumer in charge of “quality control”. How about a Gooferment diktat that if a consumer can find a defect in labeling, then they get the item free and a check for 100 times the price.
In the cited example, that $25 ham would cost the company $2,500. I bet that would make their eyes water and they’d find a way to solve the problem. Maybe a second offense, could add a zero to the end of the multiplier. And so forth and so on.
Hello, at a 10,000 mutiplier, I’d be at the store with my own scale. More profitable than Bitcoin mining!
It’s all about incentives. And neither Gooferment or their “Corporations” have the right ones in place.
Argh!
