The most important discussion for the day. Where's the Guacamole

http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/nat...wsnation-front

Quote:
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

...
That this is news or that someone cares this much is insane. (and I love Guacamole)

Is there a support group I can join for things that don't taste "avocadoey" enough?

Don't people read the labels in the grocery store anymore?? Sodium content, fat content, transfat content? Avacado content??

Actually, if she wanted a true guacamole taste, why didn't she go to her local supermarket, buy some real avocadoes, mash them herself, and then put that in her dip?
When I do that I have no complaints.

Believe it or not, this is very good news for me! I am allergic to Avocado so I'm off to buy some Kraft. Sounds reminiscent of the guy that sued McDs because he was allergic to chicken and got sick when he ate their CHICKEN McNuggets. The story goes that McDs won the case by proving that there was no chicken in the Nuggets. Probably an Urban Myth, but I like it.

No avacado in Kraft Guacamole, go figure. Next you'll be saying there is no Cheese in their Cheeze Whiz.

In the UK Welsh Dragon Sausages have got into trouble

Quote:
A SPICY sausage known as the Welsh Dragon will have to be renamed after trading standards’ officers warned manufacturers that they could face prosecution because it does not contain dragon. The sausages will now have to be labelled Welsh Dragon Pork Sausages to avoid any confusion among customers.

I just heard today that potato, apple and onion taste the same, it is the smell that is different and if you hold your nose you wouldn't know what you are eating.
Wonder if I could sue the apple growers because their products taste like onions.
