I may be a lawyer, but this clearly strikes me as a waste of time and judicial resources:
LOS ANGELES — Wholly guacamole?
That’s the issue in a fraud lawsuit filed Wednesday against Kraft Foods, Inc., by a Los Angeles woman who claims the company’s avocado dip doesn’t qualify as guacamole.
“It just didn’t taste avocadoey,” said Brenda Lifsey, who used Kraft Dips Guacamole in a three-layer dip last year. “I looked at the ingredients and found there was almost no avocado in it.”
She is seeking unspecified damages and a Superior Court order barring Kraft from calling its dip guacamole. Her suit seeks class-action status.
So let’s see, she read the ingredient label and still bought the product, and now wants to sue ?

Not unlike European rules regarding labeling as “champagne” or “chateau” (i.e., stupid).
