A Woman Is Suing Canada Dry After She Found Out There's No Ginger In Their Ginger Ale

Daily Mail- A New York woman is suing Canada Dry, claiming that the ‘made with real ginger’ sentiment that the brand has sworn by is actually a hoax.  Julie Fletcher filed a federal lawsuit earlier this month in Buffalo, New York, stating that Dr. Pepper Snapple Group misled her into thinking that the drink was a ‘healthier alternative to regular sodas’ as the drink claimed to have real ginger.   ‘Instead, Canada Dry Ginger Ale is made from carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, citric acid, preservatives and ‘natural flavors,’ i.e., a flavor compound comprised predominately of flavor extracts not derived from ginger, and a minuscule amount of a ginger flavor extract,’ alleges the suit, according to Buffalo News.  She is seeking an unspecified amount of damages in the suit. 

Her lawyer, Michael J. DeBenedicts, added: ‘Ms. Fletcher believed this meant that Canada Dry was made using ginger root and was, as a result, a healthier alternative to regular sodas.’ The Bolivar, New York, resident had bought the drink as a young mother, in hopes of easing problems her children were having. 

Imagine doing this. Imagine spending your time claiming you were duped by Canada Dry. Realizing that Canada Dry ginger ale doesn’t have actual ginger in it is the type of thing where you just pretend you knew that. Did I know that Canada Dry ginger ale doesn’t have actual ginger in it? Of course not and I don’t care. The bottle says ginger ale so I just assumed there was ginger in it and I didn’t ask any more questions. I’d sure as hell never draw attention to myself by suing Canada Dry. Nobody knows you’re an idiot if you never say anything, that’s my motto.

Also, her argument is that she was drinking Canada Dry cause she wanted her and her kids to reap the health benefits of the ginger in it and she was misled? Huh? What? Bitch if you’re drinking Canada Dry every day you’re not trying to be healthy. You’re lying to yourself. That’s like the people who drink 11 cans of Diet Coke every day instead of 11 cans of real Coke every day. Those people are trying to trick themselves into thinking they’re being healthy when they’re actually not even close. If this lady wants to be healthy she needs to be slamming water all day, not claiming to be healthy by slugging cans of ginger ale that have a billion grams of sugar.

This chick is obviously dumber than a box of rocks but I can’t knock the hustle. I’m about to start suing every single company that sells a product claiming to be a flavor but it’s not actually made from the fruit or whatever. Skittles, Starburst, Gatorade, Airheads, you name it. They better watch the fuck out. I’m coming for their asses. Let’s make this money.
