Some mindblowing legal cases and arguments !

1)
We've all heard the popular Red Bull advertising slogan:
"Red Bull gives you wings."
One consumer of the fizzy beverage claimed to consume Red Bull for ten years. Only to find out that he neither had wings nor any enhanced athletic or intellectual performance post prolonged consumption of the beverage.
He sued Red Bull for false advertising.
The case went against Red Bull; who were asked to pay $13mn in damages. $6.5m of which would go into a fund where people who have bought Red Bull since 2002 could claim a refund through a special Red Bull internet page - Red Bull Settlement
2)
Another little lawsuit:
A man from Illinois, Ronald Ball sued Pepsi because he claimed that a mouse was found in his Mountain Dew.
To counter Ronald's argument, Pepsi said that any rat that has been in Mountain Dew for more than a month would have dissolved. And since the Mountain Dew Ronald claimed to have a rat in it was packed more than thirty days ago, it would be impossible to find the rat. And hence, the claim is false.
Curious to know what that might look like?
