I tend to mock plaintiffs who sue food and beverage makers for false labeling (e.g. There’s no fruit in Froot Loops, get over it) but I did feel genuine sympathy for a would-be class action against Diet Pepsi.

As a Diet Coke gal for many years, I totally understand the plaintiffs’ sense of betrayal when they realized that drinking diet soda will not magically make you skinny—and may actually do the opposite.
