Great moments in jurisprudence

Stick to the Raisinets.

That's the advice of a Manhattan judge to an insurance broker who sued a theater chain after he busted a tooth when he bit into a popcorn kernel during a screening of "Superbad."

"Cooper tossed Steve Kaplan's small-claims suit - which sought to stick AMC Theatres with his $1,250 dental bill - and advised moviegoers to consider nibbling one piece of popcorn at a time.

"The other thing may be to simply say no to popcorn, with its tooth-fracturing potential, and settle for something else from the concession stands, like those giant-sized boxes of Raisinets or Milk Duds," Cooper wrote.
