Julie Fletcher of Bolivar, New York, has filed a lawsuit against Canada Drys parent company Dr. Pepper Snapple Group, claiming the companys ginger ale drink, which bills itself as being made from real ginger, hardly contains any ginger at all.
In Fletchers class-action lawsuit filed July 10 in New York federal court, she noted Canada Drys ginger flavor extract is not real ginger as reasonable consumers understand that term, according to the New York Post. It is manufactured in a lab using various chemicals and extraction processes.
While the product has some ginger compounds, the percentage is a minuscule two parts per million.
Instead, Canada Dry Ginger Ale is made from carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, citric acid, preservatives, and natural flavors, i.e., a flavor compound comprised predominately of flavor extracts not derived from ginger, and a minuscule amount of a ginger flavor extract, the lawsuit alleged.

I prefer Mary Anne, myself.
At least she didn’t try to drink Canada Dry
I would be happy to find out if this is true.
Ginger ale should contain ginger. Truth in advertising laws are some of the few GOOD laws.
I would sue because it isn’t Dry at all, it’s wet!

It’s not ale, either. Live with it.
There’s no “root” in most root beer either.
Can we sue McDonald’s over their not having real beef in their hamburgers? I’ve heard people say there’s filler and not much real beef in their burgers.
Okay, and what, exactly, is her injury?
