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.

    R.W. Knudsen Family makes juice without all the bullshit. Ingredients in their mango juice: Mango Juice (Filtered Water, Mango Juice Concentrate), Mango Puree.

    I really like mango juice. I gave it up for nearly a decade because at the time, the only thing available was GOYA brand, and I’ve been boycotting them since they teamed up with the KKKomander in Cheto. (Plus the GOYA brand had lots of sugar added.) My grocer started carrying this brand, and it’s fucking delicious.

    Your best bet is to start looking into organic brands of juice.

    It is approx 9 teaspoons of sugar per 300ml bottle. Typical tea cup mug is 250-300ml. Imagine putting 9 teaspoons of sugar in your tea or coffee. Fucking gross.
