Blueberry Bombshell

Bartosz Grabowski's world was rocked.

In early December 2016, Grabowski entered a Dunkin' Donuts in Chicago, Illinois and purchased a glazed blueberry donut. Grabowski consumed said donut, presumably enjoyed it and went on his way.

We don't know where or how he learned that the blueberry-flavored ingredient in his Dunkin' Donut donut was not, in fact, blueberries, but something else entirely. We don't know how emotional or distraught he was. All we have is one stoic sentence in the complaint that opened his class action suit: "After Plaintiff learned that the Blueberry Products do not contain blueberry, he ceased purchasing and consuming the Products, and retained counsel."
