Comment on I just want juice, is that so much to ask?
andros_rex@lemmy.world 1 week agoMy problem is mostly that HFCS tastes like ass. I was expecting it to be a blend of apple juice, pear juice, and a hint of passion fruit.
The health aspect is more about always keeping an easy to access non-beer thing in my fridge.
What’s crazy to me is how the alternatives are often the same price.
Buying Jelly (for peanut butter and jelly), 95% of the garbage out there uses HFCS. Then you have a few all natural ones with 3 ingredients and there’s no difference in pricing. But apparently people aren’t paying attention.
YMMV it seems like the “natural” product is 2x the price of the “store brand.”

I’ve heard great things about flavored sparkling water as a beer-alternative, unsweetened or lightly sweetened. I can’t recommend quitting drinking enough. It gets harder and harder to break the habit and makes you have a great big ol’ belly that won’t go away easily. (Fruit juice and other carbs will do the same thing. Sugar belly sucks.)
