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.

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 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.

    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.

    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?
