Ha! When it was revealed that frozen dessert chain CremaLita did not have low-fat or fat-free ice cream, we should have known there would be a lawsuit. The Post reports that Stephen Brandt sued Crema Lita, blaming his "severe health problems, including but not limited to cardiovascular problems, mobility problems and cancer [as well as the] negative self-esteem issues [that the] social stigma [of] excess weight gain carries [in today's culture]" on the misadvertised treat. But a judge just threw out the case because Brandt's diet wasn't that great to begin with. CremaLita's lawyer wrote:
What Brandt fails to mention is that he regularly eats real ice cream, McDonald's and Wendy's cheeseburgers, french fries, pepperoni pizza, beer, corn chips, donuts, cookies, hard cheese, eggs, bagels, peanut butter, Chinese take-out meals and pasta, [and] that he never exercises.Apparently Brandt also "admitted putting crumbled cookie toppings" on CremaLita. It's the crumbled cookie defense!
And yes, we remember the Non-Fat Yogurt Seinfeld episode.

Ambien made him do it! Ambien and CremaLita
Maybe the ice cream had nicotine in it.
Or pot!
This reminds me of that silly couple in the ridiculous "documentary," Super-Size Me. Those people were getting gastric bypass surgery because they were morbidly obese. They also admitted to drinking a couple of 2-liter bottles each of soda each day. Well, duh! 1600 calories of easily digestable, essentially liquid sugar per day, on top of what they eat, and they wonder why they're fat? Gastric bypass isn't going to help you if you can't stop sipping the stuff all day long.
Yeah - but Creamalita was lying to all their customers - somehow they should pay for that - not just get over on one of their customers for bringing a frivilous law suit ... no matter how you slice it, everyone that ate their product thought it was less fattening than regular ice cream because they told them it was. That is wrong and they shouldn't have profitted from it.
you're right mary. the lawsuit sounds stupid, but they made money with false advertising and should be punished for it. just like mcdonald's lying that their fries were vegetarian to hindus. alas, it's far too common for food manufacturers to lie. anyone else notice that sabra very quietly raised the fat content claim of their hummus recently?
I walked into Cremalita the other day and asked for a sample, and it was DISGUSTING! I think all I tasted was emulsifier and sweetener. So not only is it not non-fat, but it's also non-tasty!
