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.

    Yes, you can get the 100% juice label by taking (e.g.) cranberry concentrate and the reconstituting using (e.g.) apple juice instead of water, adding calories and sweetness without adding a (non-juice) sweetener.

    On top of that, most of the juice aisle does not even qualify for the “100% juice” label.

    Gotta read the fine print on the label AND the government labeling regulations AND have some level of trust in the government to get what you want from a mass-market product. Local products and producers are not a panacea either.

    But, I’m going to overdose on ACE-K given the amount of Zero Sugar Mtn. Dew I think, so I’m not going to shame anyone for their favorite juice, whether it is “100% juice” or not, from concentrate or not, or whatever.
