Of course, using that product as directed might get one in some legal trouble. Could be worth it, though, especially for the door-to-door evangelists.

On May 21, a judge of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California dismissed a complaint filed by a woman who said she had purchased "Cap'n Crunch with Crunchberries" because she believed "crunchberries" were real fruit.

But wait, here's the scary part:
"This is one of a gazillion cases, " the spokesman told ABC News. "It's not that out of the ordinary. We see this day in and day out."
A gazillion? How many bazillions is that?
And I just want to leave y'all today with this: A literal interpretation of Meat Loaf's "Anything For Love" video.
