Jelly Beans do contain Sugar - for those of you who don't know that

[Never1AShow]

I'm not a big fan of letting companies deliberately lie.  And it has gotten way out of hand.  Any Arby's or Jack in the Box or Taco Bell commercial pictures food that is unrecognizable from what you get there.

And why have any FDA or other oversight of any of this stuff if they are just simply allowed to deceive?

But I guess muscle mags would be about 25 pages thick without the lies.

Like the taco bell commercial that shows a guy eating a burrito holding it with two hands like it's a footlong but in reality it's barely 5 inches long.  No homo.

I was always under the impression that each jelly bean contained 24 grams of animal protein.

Who`da thunk it?

From the Jelly Bean website:

First fucking ingredient....

That is not the company she is suing. She is suing Jelly Belly over a specific product called Sport Beans that claims that they are designed specifically to improve exercise performance.

I am seriously amazed by the stupidity of some people here in California....

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

Evaporated Cane Juice is really dodgy wording on ingredients however what makes it worse is that this product as an exercise supplement.  I have to respectfully disagree with you on this as the company has full liability in listing clearly the ingredients on packaging although I don't believe the lawsuit has any real merit as she could have looked it up the wording.

[WannaBePro]

So she's so misinformed that she didn't know that evaporated cane juice is sugar and too stupid to read the nutrition panel where it says how many grams of SUGAR the product contains? Sounds like she needs to finish kindergarten and learn to read again. Every company, by law, needs to list the amount of sugar in their food product. Jelly Bean company DID, like ALL food producing companies do.

Why do you think they used the phrase "evaporated cane juice" instead of "sugar"?

They could have said cat piss for all I care. What matters is where it says SUGAR - XXg on the nutrition panel.

You know the answer. They were intentionally trying to be misleading. The term is used solely to disguise the inclusion of sugar. They would have never have had the balls to market this shit as healthful if they listed sugar as the first ingredient.

Maybe she's not a Getbigger, though.  Many aren't.

JB has or has had a "Sugar Free" product (not the "Sports Bean" tmk) but with this printed on back of bag:

WARNING: CONSUMPTION MAY CAUSE STOMACH DISCOMFORT AND/OR LAXATIVE EFFECT. INDIVIDUAL TOLERANCE WILL VARY; WE SUGGEST STARTING WITH 8 BEANS OR LESS

[Megalodon]

BS lawsuit   The lady claimed Jerry Brainum hadn't warned her sufficiently about impurity levels.

No....just because evaporated cane juice is a TYPE of sugar doesn't mean they're being intentionally misleading. They label the type of sugar...sucrose, fructose, glucose, cane, etc.

Lesbeans don't have beans in them either.

Yes, it does. That terminology is used almost exclusively for products that are marketed as healthy or natural and there is no substantive difference between how table sugar and evaporated cane juice are produced. The FDA recommended food producers stop using the term a few years back precisely because it was most commonly used by "health food" marketers who were trying to pass it off as a natural ingredient. Unless you're an idiot, there's no way you can look at that Sport Bean commercial and not see that they're trying to conceal the fact that they are sugar bombs.

What's dumber? That she did not know they contained surgar? Or the fact that bullshit like this was actually made a case by the courts in this country. The real power in this country is those whom can delegate law, twist it to their advantage. While the rest of us just idly move on about our day to day business, watching our once great nation slowly sink into the abyss.

I bought a bag of Sun Chips, and they didn't contain any Sun at all.  I'm filing a lawsuit.

That's 100% correct.  People who buy/eat "Kashi" cereal might as well be eating Captain Crunch.  The same amount of sugar, albeit more vitamin fortified and more fiber.
