This is eerily similar to the Vitamin Water court case:

The suit alleged that the marketing of the drink as a "healthful alternative" to soda is deceptive and in violation of Food and Drug Administration guidelines.

(33 grams of sugar, etc)...

Coca-Cola criticized the suit as "ridiculous" on the grounds that "no consumer could reasonably be misled into thinking Vitaminwater was a healthy beverage"

And Fox "News" Tucker Carlson! Lies? Slander? Of course not - no "reasonable person" would believe he was telling the truth!

Perhaps it's time we stopped allowing lawyers, the planet's most unreasonable people, to argue what a reasonable person would think. Would it be simpler if we resolved these cases by just asking a hundred people?

That’ll quickly end in mob rule.
