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.

        Give it a year with the way your country is massively declining. Soon the FDA will classify straight sugar water is “juice”.

          In the country where pizza is a vegetable, you’re probably not far off. Soon enough they’ll all be drinking Brawndo and water will be known only for being in toilets.

      What Canada doesn’t tell you is that they permit 10 Micrograms of Beaver Essence in all products.

        Doesn’t matter…lemon juice is acidic and cane sugar, or sucrose will undergo acid hydrolysis to glucose and fructose in an hour after bottling.

        Idiots importing Mexican coke should have paid more attention in grade 10 chemistry.

      Canadian nationalism is so strong. I like Canada, but it isn’t the best place on earth. On the internet though, you’d think it’s heaven.

        Lol. So someone posted a couple of pictures showing that juice sold in Canada isn’t full of corn syrup, and your reaction was “wow, such nationalism.” Like fucking what?

            I just don’t understand the “Canadian Nationalism” angle. It almost seems like there are some accounts here on Lemmy that are trying to sow discord and division.

              Yeah absolutely. Best case that’s a real person that is salty their government lets businesses poison their customers and they are going to disparage any other government that protects their citizens in even the smallest way.

              Not to say that fructose is poison per se, just that regulations around food, food advertising, labeling etc are very good to have.

              I feel bad for OP, the convenience fruit drinks that are available here are mostly real fruit juice.

          Do you actually think you can’t get 100% juice in the US? It’s pretty ridiculous to bring the US/Canada comparison into the conversation in the first place. Just like you can get Flavored Juice Drink in Canada, too.

          And yeah, it’s that mindless Canadian nationalism that is commonplace on the internet. Sorry I struck a nerve, but it is what it is.

            Bro you’re a dingdong. In fact, your point is so silly that I’m pretty sure that you’re either a bot or some sort of really sad and/or pathetic agitator. In the off chance that you’re not, I hope you get what you need and find some peace. Have a good night bro.
