Posted: 7/3/2009 6:56:01 AM | A federal judge in California has dismissed a complaint filed by a San Diego woman who had bought "Cap'n Crunch with Crunchberries" for four years believing the cereal contained real berries.
http://blogs.usatoday.com/ondeadline/2009/06/judge-kills-suit-claiming-crunchberrries-arent-real-fruit.html?loc=interstitialskip
Janine Sugawara cried fraud when she learned the "berries" were only colored cereal balls flavored with strawberry concentrate. She sued the manufacturer on behalf of all crunchberry-eating Americans.
Common sense made a rare appearance in a courtroom when Judge Morrison England Jr. ruled:
This Court is not aware of, nor has Plaintiff alleged the existence of, any actual fruit referred to as a "crunchberry." … A reasonable consumer would not be deceived into believing that the Product in the instant case contained a fruit that does not exist. … So far as this Court has been made aware, there is no such fruit growing in the wild or occurring naturally in any part of the world.
Plaintiff did not explain why she could not reasonably have figured this out at any point during the four years she alleged she bought Cap'n Crunch with Crunchberries in reliance on defendant's fraud.
Sugawara's lawyers had previously tried suing Froot Loops for not being loops of fruit.
Next, we'll learn that Captain Crunch isn't really a commissioned naval officer. | |

The things some people will try to do for money. I don't beleive she actually thought they were real berries-more like she thought she could get some money out of the deal. Even when I was a kid and at the stuff, I knew they weren't real berries lol. | |

You mean crunchberries aren't real.
Next you're going to tell me that Sonny the Cuckoo Bird is not "cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs", but actually has serious addiction problems.
On a bit more of a serious note.
Blueberry Eggos (and most "blueberry" products) do not contain any real blueberries. They are made with a substance called "blueberry nuggets". Blueberry nugets are made mostly from grapes and have no traces of blueberries whatsoever. | |

The judge's rebuke also noted that another federal court had previously rejected a similar suit filed by Sugawara's attorneys claiming Froot Loops did not contain real, um, froot.
Real "froot", got to love that. | |

The ingredients are on the box. I've liked Crunch Berries since the '70s. I could have told her the berries were not real berries years ago. | |

Posted: 7/3/2009 8:23:02 PM | I wonder if this was to generate possible job offers for her. She appears to work in the film industry - assistant casting agent. Also appears to work in the data processing field, too. And shows at least 5 cities in California as her residence in the recent past.
Or...maybe she's trying to generate her version of "unemployment compensation".
I didn't see where she was the actual complainant in the Froot Loops suit, but most stories say the law firm that represents her is the same one that filed about Froot Loops. Maybe the attorneys are just paying her to act as the plaintiff so they can generate their own big bucks?
In any event - idiotic and she just raised the price of cereal again to compensate for manufacturer legal fees. | |

Posted: 7/4/2009 4:52:01 AM | Maybe she took it to the extreme
but how many of us have bought a product and taken it home and say...thats not what the box/ add/ manufacturer/ claimed it was.
most of us just say never again, im not going to buy this crap...
there is a law ...Truth in Advertizing... Of course General Mills or whom ever makes theis funky "cereal" inst going to lable Berries = Corn gluten, Red dye no.4, natural and artifical flavored berry shaped balls. No one would buy their junk.
Im not saying "Take them to court" but what the hell is...Turkey Bacon
What if you went to resturant and ordered a t-bone and I brought you out a grilled chicken breast...You say Thats not a T-Bone!...Id say yeah-a it is a chicken t-bone...

Some one posted that their father after ordering a portabello Mushroom burger was upset that there was no meat patty in the mushroom burger.

Posted: 7/4/2009 6:50:10 AM | | Another situation of someone trying to make money out of nothing. Unfortunately we, as taxpayers, end up paying the bill in the end. Wasting court and people's time. Will it ever end? Probably not, if you can make a mint out of not knowing coffee will be hot, then anything goes. Probably in the same spectrum as frivolous government spending. | |

Posted: 7/4/2009 10:32:22 AM | This lady probably thinks Barney produces Grape Nuts.
She gets popcorn, jujubees and a soda then sits down and opens a box of Trix.
She grooms little plastic bears with Honey Combs.
She's searching all the river beds for Fruity Pebbles. | |

Posted: 7/4/2009 6:14:04 PM | Does this mean that Quakers don't really grow the oats and that Col. Sanders wasn't a real colonel?
Please, please don 't tell me that the Taco Bell chihuahua and the gecko for Geico don't really talk.
Oh, and the stars, moon, and clovers in Lucky Charms aren't made from the real things???
Is soylent green REALLY made from people or not? I want to know! | |

Posted: 7/4/2009 7:46:10 PM | | I heard this story on "Wait,wait don't tell me" - of course they had a hilarious take on it. They related it to a court case in Britain deciding whether Pringles potato chips are snacks or a food http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2262738/posts | |
