- gnicholas 8y agoI recently saw a ginger-flavored carbonated that boasted of the percent juice. I was surprised by the number (30%?), and when I looked at the ingredients I saw that the juice was not mostly ginger. It was grape juice. I understand that when I see “cranberry cocktail”, there’s a bunch of sweet juice mixed in. I didn’t realize that drinks of other flavors have so much clandestine grape juice — which is basically sugar.
- dunham 8y agoI've also seen apple juice used as a sugar in "100% juice" drinks.
- anothergoogler 8y agoYep, buy something like "kiwi-strawberry-guava" juice, apple or pear juice is usually the first ingredient. I wouldn't be surprised if most juices are flavored versions of the same base.
