Stupid Lawsuits

The Stupid. It burns.

California woman sues Quaker Cereal for misleading consumers into thinking that "Cap'n Crunch Crunch Berries" is made with real fruit.

Seriously? A person is willing to admit to being *that* gullible? I mean just look at the box!

As if that wasn't bad enough, the woman claimed to have been misled . . . for four years!! So she had spent years eating the stuff! (Even a person making up a lawsuit hoping for a big payoff has to realize what kind of idiot this claim makes them look like!)

Then, even worse, add in the fact that "Crunch Berries" in general have been on the shelves for over 40 years! Which means, in nearly half a century, no one else has made this mistake.

The woman clearly has bigger problems than what is in her cereal.

Best quote by the judge who threw the case out: "As far as this court has been been made aware, there is no such fruit (as Crunch Berries) growing in the wild or occurring naturally in any part of the world."

*shudders at the stupid*

I can't believe a grown woman was willing to admit to eating something called "Cap'n Crunch Crunch Berries." I can't Quaker was dumb enough to name a cereal that.

Seriously, waaaaay to many jokes.

BWAAAHAAAHAAA! And here I was thinking it was bad enough she claimed not to know what she spent the last few years eating. The fact that she's willing to admit to eating it in the first place, though . . .

You're right! A whole separate set of jokes there! Hee!

What do they mean 'there's no such thing as crunchberries'? For your information, Miss Smarty Pants, I happen to grow them in my backyard. They're rich in antioxidants and add zing to my salads.

SHHHH! Don't *tell* everybody! The lawsuit is so much funnier when the alleged "berries" don't actually exist!

(Besides, if everyone knew about them, then we'd have to share!)

I'm surprised that she wasn't also complaining that there is no actual Cap'n Crunch either making them personally, or diced and sliced and used as an integral ingredient!

Oh no! You mean there isn't? ;)
