  • Crunchberries Are Not Real Fruit

    Posted on June 4th, 2009 Bartley No comments

    Just so there’s no confusion, please remember that the Crunchberries in Cap’n Crunch cereal are not real berries.  From the article:

    On May 21, a judge of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California dismissed a complaint filed by a woman who said she had purchased “Cap’n Crunch with Crunchberries” because she believed “crunchberries” were real fruit.  The plaintiff, Janine Sugawara, alleged that she had only recently learned to her dismay that said “berries” were in fact simply brightly-colored cereal balls, and that although the product did contain some strawberry fruit concentrate, it was not otherwise redeemed by fruit.

    I guess you learn something new every day.

  • Worst States for Tickets

    The National Motorists Association (NMA) recently published their ranking of the worst places to drive (based on what they call unfair traffic laws and public monitoring).  The tri-state area ranks both high and low on the list with Ohio in second place, Indiana at 43rd, and Kentucky at 46th (out of the 50 states).

    The NMA was established in 1982 in part to protest the national 55 mph speed limit.  The currently work for more reasonable speed limits and fight for better driver training, fair enforcement practices, and important privacy protections.
