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.

      My problem is mostly that HFCS tastes like ass. I was expecting it to be a blend of apple juice, pear juice, and a hint of passion fruit.

      The health aspect is more about always keeping an easy to access non-beer thing in my fridge.

        What’s crazy to me is how the alternatives are often the same price.

        Buying Jelly (for peanut butter and jelly), 95% of the garbage out there uses HFCS. Then you have a few all natural ones with 3 ingredients and there’s no difference in pricing. But apparently people aren’t paying attention.

          YMMV it seems like the “natural” product is 2x the price of the “store brand.”

      It’s an alternative to other things like soda or alcohol

      More like “something to add to alcohol”. That’s just about the only time I drink juice. Sugary drinks just aren’t it for me.
