Cap’n Crunch’s Crunch Berries Lawsuit
Janine Sugawara claims manufacturers duped into buying the cereal for four years by falsely presenting the “Crunch Berries” as an actual fruit.
SMH…I blame the American education system.
Last June, the Sacramento woman filed a class-action suit against Quaker’s parent company PepsiCo, seeking full restitution of all money gained through misleading labelling and a court order forcing Quaker to provide public notice of the true composition of Crunch Berries.
A judge dismissed the case on Thursday.
Somebody better tell Janet that the “Pebbles” in Flintstone’s Fruity Pebbles are a part of the four food groups either.

I remember when this cereal first came out. They never claimed to be real fruit. In a society where misused slang words are entered into the dictionary as valid english words simply because of usage, the term "berry" was used because they resembled a berry. Are you going to sue the makers of teddy grahams because you aren't eating a real stuffed animal? It is these kinds of lawsuits and the greedy lawyers who take the cases, who are putting our manufacturers on the slippery slide to ruin. Keep it up, be greedy, you are ruining this country, one frivolous lawsuit at a time.

How much did this idiot woman cost the taxpayers for this? Judges should be given the power to deem lawsuits as "frivolous" and then be able to make the person who filed the lawsuit pay for all the costs when they lose.

The state should have filed a monetary frivilous lawsuit against the women AND her attorney. Rediculous suits like this just waste the taxpayer's money and the court's time.
