I get that it says “flavored juice drink” now, but I was tired and the text is pretty small.

“Fruit snacks” are so much worse. It’s just candy, and inferior in taste and texture to anything made with actual fruit.

    There’s juice that’s literally labelled in big huge text 100% juice, not from concentrate on the front of the bottle.

      You can even go to the produce section and get relatively fresh made juices and smoothies, pasteurized and safe and in almost any flavor you want.

      If you want to pay $1.50 for a half gallon, then yeah you’re going to get 10% shit.

      which is also not good for you, just to be clear.

      one of my new years rezzies was to eat more fruit and it’s been actually really enjoyable. Fresh mango, pineapple, cherries, grapes…

        “not good for you” is relative. Heavily dependent on individual case by case and against what standards. Sure, there are many better alternatives. But I’d argue there are even many more worse ones.

      and it’s expensive! So a treat, and I like to mix it with sletzer water to help savor it and not sugar bomb myself!
