Well, maybe you don't? Science gives you the tools to know when you're wrong. If you can't falsify your hypotheses then you're not generating new knowledge. So maybe stop trying and do something else. Which is not to say

Well that is very unreasonable. First you say that Ribena et al. are "childhood tastes". Then when I say that's sad, you say "not my childhood!" and accuse me of making assumptions. Well, by that token, you'r
