Jelly Belly being sued by woman who claimed she didn't know


Posted: May 25, 2017

When it comes to food, it turns out you can sue over just about anything these days. A California woman is suing the makers of Jelly Belly jelly beans, claiming she was tricked into believing one of the company's candy products was free of sugar. The plaintiff, Jessica Gomez of San Bernadino County, first brought the case against the candy company earlier this year, blaming "fancy phrasing" for her confusion over the ingredients, according to Legal News Line. Gomez purchased Jelly Belly’s Sport Beans, a product marketed as an exercise supplement containing carbohydrates, electrolytes and vitamins, which lists "evaporated cane juice" on the label instead of citing sugar as an ingredient. ;

I have a package of Jelly Belly jelly beans and the first ingredient is - listed as sugar. I ate them at Easter and

unlike this woman who is trying to win the lawsuit lottery, I knew the Jelly Bellys contained sugar.

Jelly beans. Please. Who in their right mind would somehow - believe there is no sugar SM

in jelly beans? Come on, this woman cant make anyone logically believe she's that easily "confused." The phrase "cane juice" confused her so badly she didnt know that was a form of sugar? How about when she was eating them, it only then all of a sudden occurs to her that there might be sugar in that food?

Hopefully the company doesnt cave in and pay her just to shut up and go away.

I also cant see any attorney with any amount of brains even taking this case.
Unless they too are hoping for a "shut up and go away" settlement.

Sad. Pathetic. Disgusting.

Did You Have A Big Belly When PregnantFeb 03, 2010
I saw a girl who was 8 months pregnant but just had the tinest little pooch showing. I'll bet it was her first. And, of course, that last month can be a real killer for weight gain. I did that with DS#1, but had a HUGE belly with DS#2. My skin was stretched so tight I felt like if someone poked it with a pin, I'd go flying around the room like a balloon does when you let the air out. ...

Tired Of Belly FatMar 02, 2010
I have done Weight Watchers, South Beach, Sonoma, and just generally starved myself into a rage, but this newfound belly fat is hanging on! I am talking cardio for 45 minutes a day and some weight training too! My newly-toned shoulders sure do enhance my bulging middle, which actually used to indent kinda nicely, I think. I'm gonna be 50 soon. I know my hormones are in a mosh pit, but something's gotta give, right? So here's what's next.....tell me if any ...

Getting SuedMar 05, 2013
DAKOTA DUNES, South Dakota (Reuters) - A year ago, Beef Products Inc. had four state-of-the art plants, more than 1,300 employees and was expanding aggressively. The meat company was the leading maker of "lean finely textured beef," a low-fat product made from chunks of beef, including trimmings, and exposed to tiny bursts of ammonium hydroxide to kill E. coli and other dangerous contaminants. Few Americans realized the product was a mainstay of fast-food burgers, school lunch tacos and home ...

Would You Let Your 16yo Daughter Get Her Belly Button Pierced?Jan 30, 2017
My daughter has asked me if she can get her belly button pierced.  I don't think it is a big deal.  I appreciate the fact that she asked me as one of her friends as a piercing "kit" and tried to talk my daughter into letting her do it over the weekend.  So she could have done it without asking me.  I called and made an appointment at a reputable tattoo/body art place who require parental consent, forms signed, ID's, etc.   She decided to mention it to her fath ...
