Excited
Got this link from SFGate and Lowering the Bar, where a judge recently threw out a lawsuit by a Janine Sugawara from San Diego because she believed that the Cap’n Crunch cereal Crunch Berries contained actual fruit called crunch berries.
According to the blog posts, Sugawara admitted that close inspection of the box stated that the “crunch berries” weren’t actual berries, and the box itself states that it only contains cereal and never states that it contains anything called a “crunch berry”, nor could she explain why in the four years it took to file the claim that she couldn’t figure out that Crunch Berries contained no berries.
This wasn’t the first time that she had done this. Apparently, Sugawara had filed a similar suit against Kellogg’s Froot Loops because Froot Loops didn’t contain real, um, froot.
I fully expect her to file a suit against Nabisco’s Cheese Nips or Nestle’s Nips candy because they don’t contain… well, never mind.
How does this post make you feel?

As long as snack products called Chinks, Japs and Gooks never materialize I think I can live with Nips. However, I won't mind if something delicious gets called Chinamens as historically this word has always been used negatively. "I love Chinamens, they're delicious" is definitely better than "I hate Chinamens they're taking our jobs." LOL

Nips? Flipz? How about someone take one for the team and sue those racist confectioners for products that contain racial slurs?
PS: I want a cut.

She should be suing because Cap'n Crunch jacks up the roof of your mouth. That's something I could get behind.
HAHAAHHAHAHAAHA!
well if Americans can sue McDonalds for their coffee being too hot and WINNING the case I think I can turn a blind eye to this one...
Seriously? What, are they going to go after Grape Nuts for no grapes or nuts? Baby Ruth for no babies? How frickin' ridiculous!
You realize what the best part of this story is, right? After a judge threw out her case in court, SHE'S APPEALING.

I'm suing Post Cereal cuz I have yet to find the grapes in Grapenuts!
I'm so ashamed of my people.
so much for the "smart asian" stereotype
Yeah, I'm a little shocked about this myself--and I'm still expecting this to be some massively stupid joke, but I guess people do have a lot of time on their hands!
I still think she should sue for Cheese Nips or Nips candy though.
Wow, you know this seems like something you'd only see in the movies or on tv. Who would have thought to be so literal?

[...] We love it when Asians behave badly. It gives us something to gossip about and also, it makes us feel pretty badass. It’s true. It’s like a slap in the face to that annoying stereotype about being submissive model minorities. You want high SAT scores? How about a dumb lawsuit? [...]
