I searched for Jelly Belly nutrition labels, and every one of them starts with "Sugar", usually followed by other sugars. Their jelly beans are clearly labeled as 70% sugar. The woman was a moron . . . and is now a fat moron.

From the article: "Gomez purchased Jelly Belly’s Sport Beans, a product marketed as an exercise supplement containing carbohydrates, electrolytes and vitamins, which lists "evaporated cane juice" on the label instead of citing sugar as an ingredient."

Given that they are probably looking at the actual label, and not a cross-section of random jelly bean labels, I think that it is much more likely that the label in question did not list sugar, and that they attempted to hide the added sugar behind a phrase that they knew would not be recognized.

In fact, your research is strong evidence that this was deceptive on the manufacturers' part. Every other jelly bean label has "sugar" as an ingredient. But this one chose to call sugar "evaporated cane juice". Why? Other than a blatant attempt to deceive, what possible explanation is there to use the esoteric phrase, rather than the universally common name "sugar", other than to deceive? There is none. They know that people are looking for added sugar, and are simply coming up with a way to hide the fact that their product has added, refined sugars. There is simply no other logical explanation.

Good find of evidence. For the plaintiff, which is clearly not what you intended. But good find, none the less.

We interpret the labels differently. The nutrition label still shows that the product is 68% sugar, even though they used a euphemism for sugar. If you're too stupid to know that "evaporated cane juice" is sugar and that 17 grams of "sugar" per package is also sugar, you're too stupid to deserve a pay out. I would still vote against her.
