Juice rant - Page 3

101lifts2 · 12-16-2009, 12:00 AM

I thought this was a thread about steriods...such a letdown. lol

I stopped drinking that shit about 10 years ago....and really it is just overpriced sugar.

Buy a juicer and use real fruit to make juice. It tastes so much better. Just add water until you get the sweetness u want.

Are you sure u didn't get the Cran-Apple instead? lol

It's kinda like a website that claims to be 100% porn. Well, when you click on it, you get 80% gay porn mixed in with 20% donkey bj's.

You dont get that 100% taste you wanted.

BTW, I was just using a recent label I had read of Cran-Raspberry as an example. I have no idea if a pure blend of those two would be palatable. That wasn't really my point. It was just about the fact that the juice that makes up THE BULK of what you're potentially buying may not even be what it says on the front of the label. That's deception.

The most egregious example of this that comes to mind is a juice blend I got once...admittedly in a hurry, and not paying attention to the fine print...got it home and it tasted like utter motherfucking ass. Turns out it was primarily pineapple juice, which has a very strong taste, and it totally fucking dominated whatever flavor the ass monkeys in marketing had portrayed on the the label...it tasted like little more than pineapple juice, which I fucking hate, and believe me, their 800 number got a call.

I gaves dem some consumer feedback...

So you were just doing a juice label audit at your local supermarket?

You're kinda coming off like one of those old ladies who watches Family Guy just so they can write letters about how much it offended them.

fillers have ended up being the American way

No, my GF likes cranberry blends, and I was looking for one that wasn't 80% HFC.

But I buy juice all of the time, and I see this to death.

you could always make and sell your own juice, but that would make you an evil capitalist

Reminds me of Micheal Moore's movie about the hatred of Capitalism, but he is making loads off of the system with the movie.

Fat Bastard
