I EAT MY CRUNCHBERRIES STRAIGHT FROM THE CRUNCHBERRY BUSH

[defrog]

ITEM: A judge of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California dismisses a fraud complaint filed by a woman who said she had purchased "Cap'n Crunch with Crunchberries" because she believed "crunchberries" were real fruit.

Quoth the judge:

This Court is not aware of, nor has Plaintiff alleged the existence of, any actual fruit referred to as a "crunchberry."

To be fair, I’m sure this could have been avoided if Quaker hadn’t changed the packaging.

OLD BOX	NEW BOX

I’m not a lawyer, but I’m pretty sure the words “imitation berries” are a key term here.

That said, it says a lot when you have to actually spell that out for people. But then no one’s sued FrankenBerry for not containing any real frankenberries. Yet. So, you know, it could be worse.

BONUS LITIGATION: Jonathan Lee Riches files a lawsuit in federal court seeking an injunction to stop the Guinness Book of World Records from naming him as the person who has filed the most lawsuits in the history of mankind.

Right. I’m stopping there.

Litigation nation,

This is dF

Oh sweet irony.
