Jelly Belly sued by woman claiming she didn't know jelly beans contain sugar

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

reminds me of the time of I was getting a coffee at mcdonalds, and the fat chick in front of me is bitching to the staff not to put salt on her fries because she is under doctors orders to watch her sodium lol  . Like the salds at Mcdonalds probably have 2 grams of hidden sodium

[Shizzo]

It's like me ordering takeout and insisting on a diet soda.  My body can't process those extra calories.

It is sort of dumb, and I guess the girl doesn't mind looking like a moron.  But maybe the manufacturers will include "sugar" in the ingredient they currently refer to as "evaporated cane juice" or something similar (whatever it is).  They refer to it by that name for a reason, and the reason is to mislead (IMHO).

It wouldn't look good for them if this is the only JB product which lists it that way.

[El Diablo Blanco]

I don't think Jelly Belly's even contain Jelly or Belly.  Fucking liars.

Your 'opinion' is 100% correct.  "Evaporated cane juice" IS simple sugar/sucrose.  I've been in the food industry for 30 years.  Label trickery is rampant and part of the game.

It could've been worse, she could have sued saying she didn't know they aren't actually beans.

Yes, same thing.  No matter how you slice and dice it, no denying it is sugar.

So why don't they simply use the right word and everyone's happy.

[TTfit]

She's not dumb. You can sue anyone for anything nowadays and win. It's a smart way to make money. They'll probably just settle and she'll be better off.

Everybody knows jelly beans contain sugar.

This woman is milking the system.

And jelly bellys are delicious especially the buttered popcorn.

This is another often used misnomer, the "system" doesnt produce milk

Not important or relevant. Now what's your favorite flavor of jelly belly?

I also like the toasted marshmallow ones.

I have never eaten one jelly bean at a time so have no idea of individual flavours, I eat a hand full at a time.

That's a shame. I'm insistent that you must try jelly bellys one at a time. It's worth it.

[Las Vegas]

I don't know, but at most they might send out a limited number of very small refund checks and include the word "sugar" in that ingredient.

[Las Vegas]

How about the one with Red Bull, lmao

Their official site:
http://www.sportbeans.com/

Sport Beans Energizing Jelly Beans are formulated to help fuel the body during intense exercise. Clinically proven to maximize sports performance, each bean is loaded with carbs for fuel, electrolytes to help maintain fluid balance and vitamins to optimize energy release and protect cells against oxidative damage. Flavored with real fruit juices and other natural flavors, they come in a convenient resealable bag that you will love.

They are trying to make these sound like health food. YMMV, but this sounds intentionally deceptive to me.

jelly beans ARE SUGAR

[The_Punisher]

is anybody old enough on here to remember this?

In 1992, 79-year-old Stella Liebeck bought a cup of takeout coffee at a McDonald's drive-thru in Albuquerque and spilled it on her lap. She sued McDonald's and a jury awarded her nearly $3 million in punitive damages for the burns she suffered.

-Liebeck sought to settle with McDonald's for $20,000 to cover her actual and anticipated expenses.

- During the case, Liebeck's attorneys discovered that McDonald's required franchisees to hold coffee at 180–190 °F (82–88 °C). At 190 °F (88 °C), the coffee would cause a third-degree burn in two to seven seconds.


- documents obtained from McDonald's showed that from 1982 to 1992 the company had received more than 700 reports of people burned by McDonald's coffee to varying degrees of severity, and had settled claims arising from scalding injuries for more than $500,000.

-The judge reduced punitive damages to $480,000, three times the compensatory amount, for a total of $640,000.

JB may cling to the idea that the stuff with bare traces of molasses in it (evaporated "cane" juice... bamboo cane or what do they mean?) is claimed to have a hint of different flavor.  

The FDA won't warn them on this one, since they're joint owners of the FDA.

A hand full? Thats worth about 7 euro of jelly beans lol!

jelly beans ARE SUGAR

That's why it must be listed as an ingredient, yes.

[WannaBePro]

From the Jelly Bean website:

ingredients: sugar, glucose syrup, maize starch, water, fruit juice from concentrate (apple, orange, pineapple), acids (malic acid, citric acid, fumaric acid), glazing agents (shellac, beeswax, carnauba wax), natural flavourings, acidity regulator (sodium citrate), colours (anthocyanin, titanium dioxide, copper complexes of chlorophyllins, calcium carbonate, curcumin, vegetable carbon, mixed carotenes, paprika extract, lutein, chlorophyll), caramelised sugar, concentrate of spirulina.

The loophole was that the Drive Thru coffee was brewed a few degrees hotter so that it doesn't cool too fast while driving to your destination.  The problem was they never revealed this fact and that is what fucked them in court.

In case you don't know.  Ron Avidan does contain Orange Chicken.
