What if the best part of waking up isn't a cup of Folgers? Can we sue?

Also, I am offended that Berocca claim that their product is me "but on a good day". That makes me depressed. Lawsuit pls.
 
Why do people fall for these sensationalist headlines? The plaintiff never claimed on the grounds that it didn't "give him wings", but on the other claims made by the company - that is, improved physical and mental performance by drinking Red Bull. The only time I can tell the main slogan came up was when it was perceived as adding to the claim of enhanced physical and mental performance. The people who are shaking their heads at this thinking, "o lol, only in america hahaha" should have a word with themselves for not doing a bit more research into these headlines.

Not to mention that this is working out exactly in Red Bull's favour: $13 million given away in freebies will spread like wildfire on the internet and around social media. Who isn't going to hear about them in the next week or two? It's a marketer's wet dream.
 
Best part about this? The choice of gif being used on the site:

Nope. We have similar laws to prevent companies making claims about their products' capabilities.

I understand that and realise why those regulations are in place but for anyone to think that Red Bull is going to do anything more for an althlete's performance than any other commercial 'sports' drink (looking at Gatorade) leads me to think that people drinking RB and hoping to gain a performance advantage must be off of their trollies.
 
It appears that I have made some false claims about Red Bull as well.

I will apparently not drink it even if they paid me.

I have alerted the Internet police about your profane use of common sense on a public forum, they should be there to disconnect your internet shortly.
 
I'm loosing faith in humanity. I don't care where you live in the world, thats just plain stupid. Thats like saying I'm suing Lucky Charms because my last bowl of cereal wasn't "Magically Delicious!"

:banghead:
 
This is stupid. It's like someone would sue Volvo because Volvos are safe and they use it in their marketing, but you still die if you crash in to a lorry 200 km/h even in a Volvo.

Anyway, I want to meet the person that actually thought that Red Bull would give you wings, just to see what kind of an idiot that person is.

My problem with it is that it's still a money-grab by greedy people... not an exclusively 'Murican problem I admit.

Money grab.. by who exactly? The plaintiff won't receive any more than anyone else who applies for the reimbursement, because they've settled it outside of court.

$13 million in settlements. $25 millions worth of free advertising. Priceless.

And exactly why Red Bull is one of the biggest companies in the world.

I laugh at all the people getting ready to jump on this "Give me $10". I'll be surprised if you folks even get $5.
It should probably be noted that if a certain number of people sign up and the $13 million is reached, then the reimbursement will begin to be diluted so that every person can receive a share.

Do these class action lawsuits ever pay ?

Does anyone reminder the DRAM lawsuit? It said you can get up to $1,000, I never heard any from them or any other info about.



Next we should have a sue AXE for their axe effect ads, that smell never attracted females

Americans,

Does this not make you sad, that this thing can actually happen? Not the free money but the actual lawsuit?

There's a lawsuit going on right now against Lowe's a tool/lumber store here in the states. The lawsuit based on the 2x4's they sell are actually 1.5"x3.5" and therefor stealing from customers for selling undersized wood.

There was an attempt here a few years ago to sue harddrive makers for the same thing. Selling a 1TB HDD that was actually .95TB.
 
Well, if your dad was the dad on Growing Pains apparently you can sue Marvin Gaye for writing a number one hit from the year you were born because you ripped it off and made millions of dollars from it last year. <---convoluted? yes...I'm sure the law suit was even more so.

What does that say?

Either way I'm curious to see if I ever get money from Red Bull...*holding my breath*
