Greatest. Case. Name. Ever.

On several different ocassions, I have noted some of the funniest case names ever. I thought I had reached the limits of awesomeness with some of these other entries. I was WRONG. Mea culpa! This is the greatest case name ever:

United States v. 11 1/4 Dozen Packages of Articles Labeled in Part Mrs. Moffat?s Shoo-Fly Powders for Drunkenness, 40 F. Supp. 208 (W D.N.Y. 1941) (holding product was misbranded because it was not in fact a cure or treatment for drunkenness).*

*Remember, I have neither the time nor the energy to make s*&^ like this up.

I am now on a mission from God. By the time my academic career is over, I must find a legitimate reason to cite this bad boy. This case name must live on forever.

Once again, the good folks over at Lowering the Bar deserve all the credit for finding this gem. Simply outstanding!
