Back in May, a a judge in Cali (the U.S. District Court for California’a Eastern District) dismissed a complaint filed by a woman who said she had purchased Cap’n Crunch’s Crunch Berries  ’cause she believed that Crunchberries were real fruit.

That lady probably saw those commercials where the Cap’n and the Crunchberry monster were vying for the berries from the Crunchberry bushes….

crunchberry bush?

Seemed real to you too, didn’t it?

While dismissing the case, the judge noted another case that had been dismissed earlier  — something about Froot Loops not being made of fruit (froot?) — same law firm filing suit, different plaintiff.

There are, when you think about it, plenty of fish in the sea for similar lawsuits, and similar consumer disillusionment(s?)
