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.

      Or perhaps we shouldn’t create a society where buying juice requires having and using a skill.

        I’m more annoyed that stores can have entire “juice” aisles, but only the last 10 or so ft. are 100% juice, only 2-3 ft. of which is organic. The rest are juice flavored drinks.

          They just have the things people buy. Sugar water seems to be what people prefer over real juice, so that’s what they make and sell in higher quantities.

          Education is probably the answer here, because people assume it’s healthy. We’d definitely need better regulation on package labeling too.

            They stock things they make more profit on. If the margins on sugar water are much higher, then they don’t need to sell as much to make it worth stocking it instead of juice. If the margins are higher because consumers are unaware they’re being sold a cheaper-to-manufacture product for the same price because the packaging is deceptive to anyone who hasn’t been told they have to look or is in too much of a rush to have time to look, then shops end up full of sugar water that few consumers actually want.

        Most Americans would benefit from taking a look at a nutritional label once in a while. I couldn’t give two fucks that someone has THE AUDACITY to make a.sugary drink and give someone the chance to purchase.
