So this is our lawsuit, eh?

In the movie “Strange Brew,” Bob and Doug McKenzie take a beer bottle with a mouse inside and try to use it as leverage to get the liquor store manager to give them a free case of beer.

What Bob and Doug McKenzie did not do is file a lawsuit.

This is not the case with a Madison County man who is suing PepsiCo for a dead mouse he supposedly found in a can of Mountain Dew he bought at his workplace.

Of course, “Strange Brew” takes place in the “Great White North” where perhaps they are little more genteel when it comes to litigation. The mouse in the Mountain Dew took place in Madison County, which is the nation’s fifth-worst “Judicial Hellhole” according to a recent report from the American Tort Reform Foundation.

PepsiCo claims the mouse would have disintegrated due to the acid in the soda had the soda contained the mouse for as long as the plaintiff claimed.

There clearly is something a little “strange” about this lawsuit brewing in Madison County. It is doubtful this case will get very far, but one has to wonder if the plaintiff is successful – will he celebrate with a trip to Disney World?

Below is the scene in “Strange Brew” when the McKenzie brothers try to get their free case of beer.
