Juice rant

I read labels. Manufacturers apparently can't be trusted to state correctly on the front of the label what shit is, so I read the fine print.

One thing that chaps my ass with regularity [insert prune juice joke here] is bottled juice products.

Example...

Juice bottle label proclaims:

Cran-Raspberry
100% Juice

You might expect that to be Cranberry, and Raspberry juice...but a quick look at the ingredients list reveals a concoction that instead often begins with apple or white grape juices, listing Cranberry & Raspberry only further down the ingredients list.

Why is this allowed? Don't fucking tell me it's this kinda juice on the front, and then list the real deal on the back. That's bullshit. It's fucking bait-and-switch, and it's not allowed in any other form of sales...why juice???

WTF??
