California Woman Upset She Didn’t Lose Weight Loses ‘Diet’ Dr Pepper Lawsuit Appeal

KNBC-

Calling a soft drink “diet” isn’t a weight-loss promise, a federal appeals court said Monday.

The Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco refused to reinstate a class-action lawsuit by a woman who argued that the makers of Diet Dr Pepper committed fraud.

Shana Becerra of Santa Rosa argued that she had been drinking Diet Dr Pepper for more than 13 years and “did not receive what she paid for” because of deceptive advertising, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. more

  1. By a show of hands, who was the bigger idiot, the woman, or the lawyer who thought they could win?
    I vote for the lawyer, loser pays will stop all this silly shit.
    The taxpayers shoulder the burden of these crap shoots.
    I’m not against litigation, I am against stupid stuff tying up the courts.

    Neither is stupid. Evil and scummy, but not stupid.

    Both probably know that, at least in California, the stupidest lawsuit can still get you a big payout IF you get the right judge or jury. She and the lawyer were likely willing to settle for “go away” money from the soda company.

  3. I live on a diet of bacon, butter, trans fat, nitrites, hot dogs, gluten, and wash it all down with a mug of liberal tears.

    Looks like I have a pretty good case. Just need to figure out who to sue first.

  4. So much deceptive labeling going on. Hunter ate contraceptive jelly on his toast every morning and he still knocked up a stripper. C’mon man, he shouldn’t have to pay child support.
