Tropicana Scam

Today I went to Walgreens and saw a "Tropicana 50" that boasted 50% less sugar and calories than their regular orange juice. Being the non-sweet-tooth type of guy, I stupidly bought it, thinking that less-sweet orange juice sounded appealing. I thought they used high-tech reverse osmosis to take out sugar from real orange juice.

What Tropicana failed to mention was that "Tropicana 50" also has 58% less ORANGE JUICE. All they did was DILUTE IT WITH WATER and even ADD ARTIFICIAL SWEETENER. And it cost the same price. Tropicana are fucking scammers.

I was naturally suspicious at first, so I examined the nutrition facts, and even the ingredients. But I didn't read the FINE PRINT of the ingredients. Tropicana had deviously RE-ADDED vitamins and minerals that were lost, thus allowing the nutrition facts to remain IDENTICAL to the 100% orange juice. SUCH BASTARDS

It tasted worse.
