Sick of being lied to by juice

If you’re going to call the flavour of your juice “orange tangerine”, the main ingredient shouldn’t be apple juice. It’s a good thing I happen to like apple juice, and that I knew what I was in for (reading labels is good for you), because otherwise this entry wouldn’t be so short, and I’d be missing reality television in a few minutes. But I’m just sayin’. It’s not even technically a lie, I guess. There are oranges and tangerines (which were also oranges, last time I checked) in there somewhere. It’s worse. They’re trying to be sneaky. Goddamn disingenuous beverages!

  1. What happened to regular flavors for juices? It seems like everything is a blend of some kind. I am looking at a CapriSun Mountain Cooler Mixed Fruit Flavored Juice Drink Blend as I type this. Look how long that description is. Not only that, it seems like Cranberries and Strawberris are taking over the juice world.

  3. Well, it’s nice to have a bit of a change from orange juice. And I’m not a big fan of apple juice.
    I like grapefruit juice, but not mixed with other citrus (i.e. agrum), because then it just tastes like it’s past its use before date.

    Lately, I’ve just been making my own iced tea. I know exactly what’s in it, and I can adjust the flavor to my own liking.

  5. Regular flavours are gone because they’ve got to either add something cheap (apple juice) to the mix to improve their profits, or they’ve got to add cranberries or blueberries or pomegranate to everything else, because they’re trendy “antioxidants”, which means they can sell you anything with a tiny amount of any of them for a ridiculous price.

  7. They should have called it “Trace Amounts of Orange, with Trace Amounts of an Orange with a Different Name, and Lots of Apple Filler Sensation”.

    The “sensation” makes it sound tasty.

  9. Right, “zesty”.
    I was under the impression that “lemmon zest” for example, was something made with the peels of the lemmon?
    So naturally, I’d expect “zesty” food and drink items to contain citrus-peel-scrapings. Apparently, that’s not the case.
