    A New York federal judge on Wednesday axed a proposed class action alleging that Tootsie Roll Industries LLC fills its boxes of Junior Mints with too much air, saying the boxes contain enough information for consumers to figure out how much candy they contain and that the court wouldn't "enshrine into the law an embarrassing level of mathematical illiteracy."
