What a whacky, whacky thing!  It still freaks me out that we have a list on
which it's totally relevant to discuss a singer AND a fruit drink.  :)

This REALLY annoys me, no matter WHAT the brand or flavor.  There is just
something that sickens me about thinking I'm doing something healthy by
buying fruit juice, and then I read the label and that's not the case at
all.  I mean, it's so rarely that I DO have anything that is supposed to be
good for me (me being one of those folks who WOULD put sugar on the
Crunchberries and all), so if I go to the effort of choosing to buy fruit
juice, I'd like it to actually BE fruit juice.  Otherwise, I may as well
just have some Kool-Aid.  Then, I would at least expect the sugar coma I'd
be in later in the day instead of being taken completely by surprise.
