- WraTH017, on 09/29/2009, -5/+172Can we start heavily fining these ***** that bring this sort of ***** up before the courts, or putting them in jail on attempted fraud charges? How about disbarring the lawyers that represent them?
Get a ***** refund and buy some real fruit, *****. - MarkMontoya, on 09/29/2009, -1/+141I bought Count Chocula for the same reason and am filing for lack of vampires in the cereal.

- waj5001, on 09/29/2009, -2/+43No one eats grape nuts.
- Ajajadude, on 09/29/2009, -5/+46How about we just take them out back and shooting them in the head? They're obviously too retarded to contribute to society.
I'm sorry, that was mean. Retards contribute more to society than this guy. - Disgod, on 09/29/2009, -0/+28I do, but about halfway through the first bowl I suddenly start feeling like I'm in some sort of torture endurance test. They start out great, and there is a rapid decline in enjoyment with each spoonful. And the bowl never seems to empty out, as if there is some magical fairy replenishing the bowl.
- fajitamelt, on 09/29/2009, -0/+27And I bought Aunt Jemima Syrup in hopes of getting laid, and...well, I had fun that night.
- lolerskate, on 09/29/2009, -4/+31The onion? no? seriously?
- dchurchill, on 09/29/2009, -3/+30THIS LAWSOOT IS OUT OF ORDER!
- Scottamus, on 09/29/2009, -2/+29Umm, ingredient list FTW?
- Gauthic, on 09/29/2009, -2/+28I agree. Disbarring lawyers needs to happen much more easily (and often).... their whole profession is littered with terrible conniving bastards. Don't get me wrong there are quite a few good ones out there, but they're usually the quiet ones--the ones you usually don't see advertising on the television.
- sigmaman2, on 09/29/2009, -0/+24Only against the taxpayers.
- serif69, on 09/29/2009, -2/+26<insert joke about San Francisco and fruit>
- IphtashuFitz, on 09/29/2009, -0/+23I loved the end of the article:
In light of Werbel's complaints against Pepsico and Kellogs, SF Weekly finds it necessary to re-issue our occasional corporate caveat noting that, while our offices are located at 185 Berry Street, our publication should in no way be considered a nutritious source of fruit. - Heidenreich12, on 09/29/2009, -4/+26only in America.

………………………………………………………’’~-‘’_ , , ,,’,_/--‘ - LilJimmyNordin, on 09/29/2009, -0/+15The spelling of "froot" and not "fruit" is specifically designed to avoid such lawsuits. Just like some foods are described on the box as "chocolatey" or "fruity", yet contain neither chocolate nor fruit. It's a tricky bit of wordplay that marketers have been using for decades. As always, it's a consumer's responsibility to apply critical thinking and educate themselves.
TL,DR: Only a dummy would think there was anything but "froot" in "Froot Loops". He should have bought the far less popular "Fruit Luips". - LilJimmyNordin, on 09/29/2009, -0/+15Actually, Fruit By The Foot contains fruit. That's why it's not called Froot By The Foot.
And Fruit Of The Loom is actually what it is.
Good luck with all that, though. :) - evanbooth, on 09/29/2009, -0/+13The problem with this country, you say?
- wholefnvo, on 09/29/2009, -1/+14Great idea for my next suit, there's no apples in Apple Jacks!!
- dhughes, on 09/29/2009, -0/+12I bet caning is not sweet at all.
- sigmaman2, on 09/29/2009, -1/+13And as for The Onion, I expected to see vegetables when I went to their website. Instead, I come across news stories and videos, and only one picture of an onion! I AM OUTRAGED BY THIS DECEPTION!!
- Mujokan, on 09/29/2009, -0/+11There's lots of froot, there just isn't any *fruit*.
- soupdawg30, on 09/29/2009, -0/+11I don't think any kid mistakes the loops in froot loops for an orange or an apple.
- jdibiase, on 09/29/2009, -0/+11"Werbel's quest for a cereal containing natural, nutritious fruit did not stop at Froot Loops. He also bought and ate Cap'n Crunch Crunch Berries cereal with this goal in mind." He's suing Pepsico, which owns Cap'n Crunch.
Although this is hysterical, I don't think he truly believes that there's fruit in either cereal and the point he is trying to make with these suits is that the makers shouldn't even imply that there's fruit in the cereals. (not that *I* think there's any such implication.) - umanomano, on 09/29/2009, -0/+11Odd... mine has melons.
- AndroidPirate, on 09/29/2009, -1/+12Sugarcane?
- iheartbakon, on 09/29/2009, -1/+12There is, actually.
- dbgk2009, on 09/29/2009, -0/+10It is spelled Froot, not fruit. That should be a clue!
- johndalek, on 09/29/2009, -0/+10i hope he doesnt sue because there are no babies in baby oil
- dualaudi, on 09/29/2009, -1/+11Read the ingredient label maybe?
Also, isn't it only referring to the taste? - FredFredrickson, on 09/29/2009, -1/+11But do they contain jacks?
- zephc, on 09/29/2009, -0/+10Or brownies
- kplo, on 09/29/2009, -1/+10Don't mess with my froot-froot...
- serif69, on 09/29/2009, -0/+9Fruit of the Loom has berries in it.
- gavintlgold, on 09/29/2009, -0/+9Ah HA! We've got 'em now Mr. Fred Fred!
- notthatnoise, on 09/29/2009, -1/+10yeah, what a tuil
