HOUSTON, TX - A class-action lawsuit has been filed against Coca-Cola, makers of Sprite. Represented by attorney Jay A. Feld, the charges have been officially brought on behalf of DeeDee Dockery, a fashionable teen with street cred. The suit calls for the company to pay reparations to make up for the emotional damage suffered by Dockery and thousands of other urban-savvy young people.

"Sprite advertisements falsely depict individuals consuming the lemon-lime product before leaping into an asphalt blacktop, which suddenly turns into a refreshing pool." Feld stated. "When my clients--nearly all hip teens, as in the commercial--attempted the stunt, their experiences differed significantly."

Many of the plaintiffs sustained neck and spinal injuries as a result of their attempts. However, the suit chiefly asks for payments to compensate for emotional trauma, which in most cases consists of being mocked for not being 'cool enough' to drink Sprite.

"Guys told me I was way too whack to drink Sprite after the court didn't turn into water. Said I couldn't 'obey my thirst.' Sixteen-year-old plaintiff Jimmy Starks said. "But I'm edgy, I wear Converse, and I listen to Ja Rule!"

Representatives from the beverage behemoth have not officially commented on the controversy, and have not indicated any plans to propose a settlement. However, an anonymous source from deep within the company expressed that many at Sprite feel going to trial would only hurt the beverage's street cred.

"Getting those kids up on the stand--every person in that jury would see that they're just as chill, with-it, and down-to-earth as the actors in the commercial. We'd have no chance."
