If this is the case, wouldn't it be cheaper to take sweetened water, add food colouring and flavouring? I assume someone's probably doing it already.

- jerf 15y agoIt would be. But then they have to call it something other than "100% Florida Orange Juice".
- Jach 15y agoOr, like they have done with the word "Natural" and its qualifiers, lobby for being able to advertise what normal people would call falsehoods.
- maukdaddy 15y agoIt's called Sunny Delight. And you would be shocked to learn how many people think Sunny D is real orange juice.
- alanfalcon 15y agoI remember watching a Sunny Delight commercial as a kid. Someone is digging through the fridge listing the drink options... "We got OJ, Purple Stuff, Soda... And Sunny D!" Before that commercial, I was one of those people who thought Sunny D was OJ. Call it bad advertising: I looked at Sunny D as "Orange Stuff" after that ad and no longer wanted it. EDIT: I guess I'm not the only one who remembers the commercials, there's a spoof on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiOaBTpKqnk&NR=1&feature=fvwp http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiOaBTpKqnk&NR=1&feat... (and of course the real thing is on YouTube if you care to find it)
- socksy 15y agoI remember Sunny Delight as a kid (shows how young I am, I guess), but that didn't taste anything like orange juice, or the flavourings they put in to orange juice. More like squash? It's so sweet that you would be unlikely to confuse with actual orange juice, surely?
