The Cap'n has had prior run-ins with the legal system...

http://www.legalinfo.com/legal-news/woman-sues-capn-crunch-because-crunchberries-are-not-fruit.html


A woman who bought Cap?N'Crunch Crunchberries cereal sued because she was disappointed when she found out that the supposed ?crunchberries? were not actual fruit.

The plaintiff, Janine Sugawara, says shes bought the Cap?N'Crunch with crunchberries because she thought crunchberries were real fruit. She subsequently learned that the ?berries? were actually nothing more than brightly colored cereal balls, and that the cereal contained no real fruit.

She sued on the grounds that the cereal advertised falsely. She reported that she was suing for herself, and every other consumer that had been ?tricked? by the cereal company. According to the complaint, Sugawara and other consumers were misled not only by the use of the word ?berries? in the name, but also by an image on the front of the box, which features the product?s namesake, Cap?N'Crunch, aggressively ?thrusting a spoonful of ?Crunchberries? at the prospective buyer.? The plaintiff brought claims for fraud, breach of warranty, and the California Unfair Competition Law and Consumer Legal Remedies Act.
