Another Juice getting between me and my peach
June 22, 2004
As you know, I often frequent Sheetz in the mornings. This morning was no different. I go in, decide that today I will get a sausage shmuffin, grab one, then head back to the juice coolers. I haven't really been in the mood for Cappuccino lately, so I've been trying new Juices. Today, I get the OceanSpray White Cranberry Peach.
Now that I am sitting at my desk enjoying my new juice choice (and yes it is delicious), I have time to read the label.
White Cranberry And Peach Juice In a Blend With Another Juice From Concentrate
What? Another juice? I'm appauled! What ever happened to the days when the labels told you what kinds of juices were blended in the bottle? I can recall coaxing my mom to purchase Apple-Grape Juice when I was younger. Once us kids started liking it, she'd just buy grape and apple separately (because it was cheaper) and mix them. And, guess what, we couldn't tell the difference.
Well it turns out that White Grape Juice is the "Another Juice." At least it wasn't something I'd be allergic to or something. Back to my juice, meeting at 9:00 a.m. - good times this morning, good times.

I have also seen ingredient lists that say "may contain one or more of the following:" and then list things, usually colors. At least your "another juice" is identifiable, and they know what's in it.
Though I must ask-- where on the package did it explain the mystery juice?

I had to read the ingredients label to discover the mystery juice.

I must admit that I am also a fan of the OceanSpray cranberry blended juices. I think they taste like candy (but healthier!). It's sad when even the label for Breyers icecream has more than just "milk, sugar" etc.. There are additives and "other" listings in too many products today. Doesn't it make you reconsider what you're eating and drinking?

I am a big sheetz fan as well... I like the so called, "organic" drink, Sobe. Who knows what is truly in that mix?! I am defintely not a big fan of the OceanSpray juices. Nowadays with the big craze of "healthy foods/drinks" they should be coming out with more 100% authentic fruit juices, instead of 3% of other blends in the drinks.
