"  White Castle, the fast-food chain that made its name with mini slider-style burgers, apparently applies the same diminutive aesthetic to its furniture. Stock broker Martin Kessman, who weighs in at 290 pounds, filed a lawsuit against White Castle, charging that the restaurant&amp;#039;s booths are just too small for a man of his size. Huffington Post reports that Kessman first brought his complaint to the White Castle corporate office two years ago but received only &amp;quot;very condescending letters&amp;quot; in response, along with coupons for free burgers. While the chain did ultimately send Kessman its plans to make the booths roomier, the plaintiff claims that no changes were made. Kessman&amp;#039;s court filing is just the latest in a long line of head-scratching food-related lawsuits. Take a look at some of the most ridiculous: Do Crunchberries Grow on Trees? In 2009, a California woman filed a class action suit against PepsiCo, maker of Cap&amp;#039;n Crunch with Crunchberries, complaining that the kids&amp;#039; cereal contained no actual berries. From the suit: &amp;quot;The colorful Crunchberries, combined with use of the word &amp;#039;berry&amp;#039; in the product name, convey the message that Cap&amp;#039;n Crunch is not all sugar and starch, but contains redeeming fruit\u2026In actuality, the product contains no berries of any kind\u2026Had she known that the product contained no fruit, she would not have purchased it.&amp;quot; More from Delish: Strange Cookbooks  In Search of the Bud Life: In 1991, Richard Overton sued Anheuser-Busch for $10,000 for false and misleading advertising on the grounds that the company&amp;#039;s Bud Light ads, which featured &amp;quot;scenic tropical settings [and] beautiful women and men engaged in endless and unrestricted merriment&amp;quot; were actually &amp;quot;untrue,&amp;quot; a realization that had led him to experience emotional distress. The case was ultimately dismissed. Woman Gives Wendy&amp;#039;s Chili the Finger: In 2005, Californian Anna Ayala threatened a suit against Wendy&amp;#039;s after claiming that she found a severed finger in her chili. It was later found to be a missing digit from a friend of her husband, who had lost the finger in a workplace accident. Not So Smoothie: In 2005, an Ohio man sued NBC for $2.5 million, claiming that watching an episode of Fear Factor in which contestants were asked to drink a smoothie made of rats mixed in a blender made him get dizzy, run into a wall, and vomit. The case was thrown out by a U.S. District Court judge. Hot Coffee Puts McDonald&amp;#039;s in Hot Water: The case of Stella Liebeck, the elderly woman who sued and won $1 million after being badly burnt by a cup of McDonald&amp;#039;s coffee, received more than a cupful of mockery, including a spoof in an episode of Seinfeld. A recent HBO documentary, however, has brought new attention to the case, recasting Liebeck as an injured victim instead of a money-grubbing plaintiff. More from Delish: 10 (Mostly Failed) Food Inventions I Can&amp;#039;t Believe I Ate the Whole Thing: Late last year, a Miami doctor sued a branch of the restaurant Houston&amp;#039;s for not preventing him from gobbling down an entire artichoke. As an artichoke newbie, he claimed that the restaurant&amp;#039;s employees should have demonstrated to him the proper eating etiquette and that their failure to do so left him with &amp;quot;severe abdominal pain and discomfort.&amp;quot; Nutella Healthy? That&amp;#039;s Nuts!: In February, a mom in California sued Nutella parent company Ferrero for touting the creamy hazelnut spread as &amp;quot;part of a balanced meal&amp;quot; when in actuality it is high in saturated fat and sugar.
