Where does a 600-lb. Gorilla file a lawsuit?

In US District Court in Boston.

600 lb. Gorillas, a Duxbury ice-cream company, this week sued one of its suppliers for allegedly providing ice cream for its ice-cream sandwiches that was so bad people stopped buying them.

600 lb. Gorillas sells "super premium" ice cream sandwiches with way high fat content that makes ice-cream lovers swoon. In its complaint against Fieldbrook Foods of Dunkirk, NY, 600 lb. Gorillas alleges Fieldbrook cheaped out in an effort to boost its own profits and supplied ice cream with fat content way below the 14% butterfat and 40% solids 600 lb. Gorillas asked for.

The result, 600 lb. Gorillas charges:

Between the Summer of 2014 and the present, customers inquired whether 600 lb Gorillas' recipe had changed, and called the "new" formulation "tasteless," "watery," "kind of icky tasting," "awful," "very 'thin' feeling," "like non-dairy ice cream," "poor quality," "horrible," and "not the same product we were use[d] to."

Fieldbrook blamed 600 lb. Gorillas' customers, such as Costco and BJ's, for leaving the ice-cream sandwiches on loading docks too long or the cookie part of the sandwiches being too dry.

But 600 lb. Gorillas notes it never had such problems with its previous supplier - Mister Cookie Face - and says that when it had the Fieldbrook stuff tested by labs, including UL Labs in Canton, the results showed butterfat content as low as 6.8% and solids as low as 28%.

600 lb. Gorillas is seeking unspecified damages for the lost sales and damage to its reputation and attorney's fees.
