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.

      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.

        Because we’re better than you. We know we are. You know we are. We didn’t elect a 34 convicted felon who literally tried to overthrow your government 5 years ago to a second term as President.

        There’s no sowing discourse. There’s no “Canadian Nationalism”. It’s just us recognizing we’re better than you as a country. Our Prime Minister didn’t rape children. Our PM didn’t attempt a coup. Our PM hasn’t spent the last year openly tanking my country’s economy.

        You being Butthurt because Canadians feel real good about ourselves not being your bullshit 51st state while your country boo’s our anthem at sporting events because your population is too fucking stupid to not understand geopolitical relations and why we boo yours.

        Your entire fucking national identity is fucking nationalism. Salute the flag, teach the ‘Pledge of Allegiance’ in grade school. “USA is the greatest country in the world”. Your armpit of a country ‘not understanding’ any other Sovereign Country being proud of where they’re from really shows how well your own country’s nationalism worked on you.

        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.
