Julie Fletcher of Bolivar, New York, has filed a lawsuit against Canada Dry’s parent company Dr. Pepper Snapple Group, claiming the company’s ginger ale drink, which bills itself as being “made from real ginger,” hardly contains any ginger at all.
In Fletcher’s class-action lawsuit filed July 10 in New York federal court, she noted “Canada Dry’s 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.

My mom admitted later in life that she sometimes used to dose my two brothers and I with Cheracol (sp?) - which evidently had some codeine in it - so she could get an occasional break while Dad was working for the Border Patrol, El Paso.

All these years, your grandma told you it would settle your stomach, and it was just a placebo? I’ll bet it had ginger in it, before some accountant figured out they could save 5¢ a bottle by using fake junk in it. I hate Frankensteinian food. twinkies - 39 ingredients, McDonald’s chicken nuggets - 40 ingredients, taco bell regular taco - 51 ingredients.

Next, she will sue when she realizes there is no ‘ale’ in it, either.
It’s not too sweet.
It’s got a flavor that can’t be beat.
