I hate the american approach to fruit juice. Buy juice here that isn't orange juice, and whatever flavor it is, it actually consists of apple and grape juice with a hint of whatever juice it says on the label. Buy strawberry banana juice here, and it's clear. When I bought strawberry banana juice in Germany, it poured out looking like liquid bananas.

I'm not just arguing on principle here, though some people certainly could. I have an intolerance to something that I suspect is a preservative, and anything with high levels of grape juice in it gives me major stomach aches. Unfortunately ingredient labels don't list proportions, so I go in blind a lot of the time. I know which flavors of juicy juice I can handle- except my local grocery store only sells 3 flavors. grrrr stupid HEB. Otherwise I tended to stick to orange juice based juices, but after my ER incident, I haven't been able to drink OJ either because of the acidity level. I currently have pineapple, apple, and peach in my cupboard, but I'd like to have more selection. I love juice, I just can't drink a lot of it.

In conclusion: change the way you make juice, america.
