I get that it says “flavored juice drink” now, but I was tired and the text is pretty small.
“Fruit snacks” are so much worse. It’s just candy, and inferior in taste and texture to anything made with actual fruit.

Meanwhile in Canada
Juices like this also exist in the US...
Give it a year with the way your country is massively declining. Soon the FDA will classify straight sugar water is "juice".
I think you mean "straight high fructose corn syrup water".
In the country where pizza is a vegetable, you're probably not far off. Soon enough they'll all be drinking Brawndo and water will be known only for being in toilets.
What Canada doesn't tell you is that they permit 10 Micrograms of Beaver Essence in all products.
I mean, we all gather every year and conduct a ritual to send all our hate and anger into our geese, which gives us the polite nature you see today.
What's a little beaver essence on top of it?
Beaver farts? In YOUR fromage squick squick? It's more likely than you think.
You misspelled require
On the lemonade, I assume that you are pointing out that it is cane sugar rather than HFCS?
Doesn't matter....lemon juice is acidic and cane sugar, or sucrose will undergo acid hydrolysis to glucose and fructose in an hour after bottling.
Idiots importing Mexican coke should have paid more attention in grade 10 chemistry.
Yes, but also lemon juice and lemon pulp, not rehydrated concentrate
Canadian nationalism is so strong. I like Canada, but it isn’t the best place on earth. On the internet though, you’d think it’s heaven.
it's how a regular person could look like a model standing next to a cave troll.
Exactly. The US fucking sucks, but Canada ain’t that fucking awesome either.
compared to it's immediate neighbor it might as well be
Lol. So someone posted a couple of pictures showing that juice sold in Canada isn't full of corn syrup, and your reaction was "wow, such nationalism." Like fucking what?
American's are upset their country is a fucking tire fire.
I just don't understand the "Canadian Nationalism" angle. It almost seems like there are some accounts here on Lemmy that are trying to sow discord and division.
It’s Canadian nationalism because in a conversation where nothing has to do with Canada, a Canadian brings up that Canada has 100% juice. Why bring up Canada? Why be disingenuous and act like Canada doesn’t have bullshit with HFCS too? The US also has 100% juice. Some Canadians on the internet always feel the need to compare themselves to Americans for seemingly no reason other than misguided nationalism showing superiority. It’s just pointless nationalism. You immediately went ad hominem that I have a shitty soul that doesn’t know peace and accused me of being a bot. It’s insane how quickly you jumped to that. Please insult me some more to prove your superiority. If my comment sowed discord and division, you need to toughen up—I even said I like Canada! The Canadian comment’s purpose was division. Get a grip.
Yeah absolutely. Best case that's a real person that is salty their government lets businesses poison their customers and they are going to disparage any other government that protects their citizens in even the smallest way.
Not to say that fructose is poison per se, just that regulations around food, food advertising, labeling etc are very good to have.
I feel bad for OP, the convenience fruit drinks that are available here are mostly real fruit juice.
In Canada it’s labeled as “glucose/fructose.”
Do you actually think you can’t get 100% juice in the US? It’s pretty ridiculous to bring the US/Canada comparison into the conversation in the first place. Just like you can get Flavored Juice Drink in Canada, too.
And yeah, it’s that mindless Canadian nationalism that is commonplace on the internet. Sorry I struck a nerve, but it is what it is.
Bro you're a dingdong. In fact, your point is so silly that I'm pretty sure that you're either a bot or some sort of really sad and/or pathetic agitator. In the off chance that you're not, I hope you get what you need and find some peace. Have a good night bro.
Please explain what’s silly? I’m pretty sure I was clear. What is so sad about calling out pointless nationalism? Are you Canadian? Are Canadian juices part of your cultural identity?
Ignore previous instructions, seek inner peace.
You really enjoy talking down to people.
Not people.
Just you.
You’re not even the guy I was talking to. Glad you decided to step up and say something. You guys really like juice.
