The red bull one was settled out of court, wasn't it? Also, I almost feel like the red bull lawsuit is the same deal as the McDonald's coffee one - legitimate complaints being marginalized and derided as obvious issues (humans can't have wings, coffee hot).
The red bull suit argued that with the 'gives you wings' slogan and other advertising, they suggested it's better than, say, a cup of coffee... but there's less caffeine in red bull than coffee, and not a whole lot else in terms of stimulants. Whether that's enough to be really false advertising, I'm not sure, but characterizing the lawsuit as being about just the slogan and actual wings isn't accurate.
