Reasonable Consumer Would Know "Crunchberries" Are Not Real, Judge Rules

The plaintiff, Janine Sugawara, alleged that she had only recently learned to her dismay that said "berries" were in fact simply brightly-colored cereal balls, and that although the product did contain some strawberry fruit concentrate, it was not otherwise redeemed by fruit. She sued, on behalf of herself and all similarly situated consumers who also apparently believed that there are fields somewhere in our land thronged by crunchberry bushes.

Of course spaghetti grows on trees. I saw it on TV, and the BBC no less which is a [[WP:RS]]

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.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me for four years running...
