Reply to comment by OMG__Ponies in TIL that the VitaminWater class-action lawsuit resulted no compensation for the consumers, and Coca Cola/Glacéau could continue marketing VitaminWater as “nutrient enhanced water beverage”. by OMG__Ponies

Seems like the kind of claim that should get that lawyer disbarred. It's fucking called Vitamin Water, without an ounce of irony in the labeling or advertising.

Fox News uses the same defense. It’s in the name but “no reasonable person” would take it seriously.

I'm probably wrong, but I believe words like "vitamin" and "supplement" have little legal definition, and so what qualifies as those are extremely lax. It's a similar case with "organic," where you can make a huge amount of claims because there's yet to be a very specific legal definition.
