According to a statement of claim filed in Edmonton's Court of Queen's Bench on Sept. 14, Elsie C. Pawlow is suing Kraft Canada Inc., which is the parent company of Cadbury Adams, the creator of Stride gum. In the statement of claim, Pawlow - a feisty city senior who says she is "49 and still holding" - alleges she bought at least five packages of Stride gum.
"Over a period of five minutes the gum falls apart into little pieces and sticks to the dentures," Pawlow said in her statement of claim. She then alleges in the statement of claim, filed at a cost of $200, that she had to "dig out" the pieces of chewing gum from her dentures, which she described as a "disgusting" procedure.
"As a result, the plaintiff has suffered depression for approximately 10 minutes," Pawlow said in the claim. Pawlow is seeking $100,000 in general damages as well as interest and court costs.

Happily this is Canada, not the US.
It will be thrown out of court in short order, and the woman given a stern lecture by the judge.
hopefully she will have to pay the court costs for this.
I know times are tough, but I really wonder how desperate a lawyer must be if he takes this case.
The Rat King is right on. Canada is a civilized (civilised?) country, so much so that it amazes me that a Canadian would do this. Maybe she immigrated from the good old USA>
49 with dentures??? sry but canadians have their share of crazies just like every other country. there is just more space between them in canada.
