"Made with 100% fruit juice." Does this mean anything?

Of course you can argue whether 100% juice is healthier than 10% juice plus added sugar. For most values of the word “healthier” there isn’t much of a distinction. However, you may get a small amount of vitamins or antioxidants or whatever other micronutrients remain in juice after processing, or you may prefer the fructose found in real juice to whatever sugar is used as an added sugar. These are real differences for some people.

I buy only 100% juice, not 10% juice drinks. That’s because for me the distinction is real and important. YMMV.

I wonder if 10% X juice and 90% filtered apple juice is really any healthier than 10% X juice & 90% HFCS-water (especially considering that Apple juice is ~65% fructose compared to the 55% in HFCS). When I buy, I always look at the ingredient list and try to choose the one with the minimum amount of filtered apple/grape/pear juice.
