Brenda Lifsey, a federal employee who lives in Los Angeles, has a beef about guacomole. A guacamole-flavored dip from Kraft Foods, to be exact. Lifsey, the Los Angeles Times reports, made a three-layer dip last year using Kraft Dips Guacamole, then found out that it "just didn't taste avocadoey." That's because the dip contains less than 2 percent avocado, the key ingredient in guacamole. Calling such a product guacamole is just fraudulent, Lifsey says, so she sued the company. Kraft says it's not deceiving anybody, but has decided to change the label on the dip to indicate that it's just guacamole-flavored.
