Lawsuit filed over ginger ale allegedly containing no ginger
Inthe federallawsuit filed July 10in Buffalo,Julie Fletchercontends that Canada Dry and its parent company, Dr. Pepper Snapple Group Inc. are misleading customers."In truth, DPSGs soft drink is not made from real ginger," reads the lawsuit filed by Fletcher, who lives inBolivar, Allegany County."Instead, Canada Dry Ginger Ale is made from carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, citric acid, preservativesand '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."Nothing is sacred.Apparently, Fletchers beef with the beverage is that shed been buying it for her kids to drink whenever they got sick, assuming that the ginger in the drinks name meant there was ginger in its bottle. The vendetta she swore against Dr. Pepper Snapple Group Inc began when she learned that he products that she purchased were not made from real ginger, but were instead made from a minuscule amount of a ginger flavor extract, which does not contain any of the health benefits of real ginger." Oh, the rage. Look, Coca-Cola used to contain cocaine and 7-Up came spiked with lithium citrate up until 1948 (it was originally called Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Soda. They, along with ginger ales, were served up as tonics at the soda shops baked into pharmacies back in the late 19th and early 20th century. Im of the mind that times change, but brand names dont. This rates up there with someone suing over their coffee being too damn hot to drink. Image via Flickr, courtesy of F Delventhal
