It’s been established in recent threads that all fruit juice is garbage unworthy of human consumption - I mean, it contains \*sugar \*and often - brace yourself - juices other than what’s on the label!

I can’t believe anyone considers orange-pineapple juice as something new. We had it back in the 50s, and it’s still around, in every supermarket. Bottled, not frozen. And orange-grapefruit too. And now they have orange juice with 50% calories, that doesn’t taste watered down. ---

No, they have it non-frozen in cartons and bottles, too, right next to the regular OJ. I’ve bought it that way for 20+ years. ---

My grandmother was allergic to oranges so we always had pineapple-grapefruit juice at her house when I was growing up. ---

The ranting against fruit juice\* mystifies me - the arguments are mostly specious and taken off the highest cliffs. That, say, OJ is not the wondrous health drink the Florida and California boards would have us think is one thing; equating it with soda and synthesized glop because the nutrition panels look much the same is just idiotic and ignorant hysteria. I am absolutely the last person on this board who trusts the food industry - look at how many people told me I was an idiot about Nutella! - but the folks who make arguments based on nothing but the USDA/FDA breakdown of components are on a par with flat-earthers. While \*Cracked \*is sometimes as good as any real journalism site on some topics, it is a humor blog and their food articles in particular are about as accurate as anything from _Weekly World News_ - the piece you cite in particular. It’s the hysterical arm-waving of someone who’s discovered that Disney is a mean, greedy corporation; that Tropicana doesn’t rush to your house to squeeze hand-selected oranges into your glass is just a horrible conspiracy… to someone who has no clue how the food processing industry handles nearly everything, the “freshest” and most “natural” products included. - by which I mean any juice produced by squeezing real fruit and not adding much of anything to it, not glop that is half added sugar or other swill. I am not disturbed by concoctions that lower their price by blending cheaper, but equally real juices, or use product storage and freshening techniques to control their product flow. Those who think this is [SIZE=1]awful [SIZE=1]but chow [SIZE=1]down on beef that’s been hung to rot for a month ne[SIZE=1]ed a reality check.[/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE] [/SIZE] ---

Yes, people who judge food based on its nutritional value are just like flat earthers. :rolleyes: ---

> [@Alessan](#): > > All these combinations, and yet Americans have yet to realize that you’re supposed to put mint in lemonade. some do. my aunt always made a big thermos of lemonaid before we went to work in the garden and she’d grab fresh mint, rinse it off, shove it in the thermos and shake it and when we were ready for a glass it was cazy good. I didn’t know until I was about 12 and had some at someone else’s house that it wasn’t “normally” made with mint. I recently bought mango-orange that actually was mango and orange, not flavored apple juice like most of them ---
