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.

    These things have so much fucking sugar in them it’s actually crazy. I had one for the first time ever about a month ago (apple flavor I think) and it was so sweet I don’t think I was able to even finish the thing. It’s insane. I had no clue they were this over-sweetened based on how often I’ve seen the brand and I genuinely don’t know how anyone drinks this stuff.

      this is exactly how I feel about sugar in tomato sauce.

      I make it myself and dont add sugar. Was at someones house during dinner the other week. they made food for everyone. They used Jar sauce… 8mg of sugar per 1/2cup serving of sauce. 8! And they added so much salt on top, I called it a fasting day and didnt have any supper over there

      I dont understand how people live like that. Reminds me of years ago I met people who would put cows milk and sugar in their kids’ sippy cups :(

      so much sugar is unpalatable.
