I saw a "Kraft Macaroni and Cheese Gummy Candy". Can I sue someone for that? Not necessarily for fraud. that the product exists is an offense to human dignity.

Then we can go after the people making "Fruity Pebbles flavor" $everything. I've seen pancake syrup, I expect floor wax and lighter fluid versions next.

Fruity Pebbles flavor is really just citrus fruits. I found this "lemon and orange" tea that is spot-on (as a tea snob I hate that I love it):

FWIW those gummies are fruit-flavored. They are really just designed as a gag, and that's certainly why I bought them for a friend of mine (someone who eats way too much macaroni and cheese). Do you also want to sue people for making whoopie cushions and fake vomit?

Wait, under the logic of the article couldn't you sue because they're not macaroni and cheese flavored? Or like... at least not savory?

Those Jelly Belly beans that they rebranded as Bertie Bott's have a "popcorn" flavor, so we definitely have the technology to do butter adjacent flavorings...
