I was just drinking some juice and thought it tasted a bit odd so looked at the ingredients list.

Anyone want to guess the percentage juice in this lovely carton? Remember it is 100% pure squeezed fruit.
I will give you a clue, there is more mango, with kiwi next and passion fruit last.
But there may also be other ingredients too.
The result will be revealed later tonight.
The winner gets a tin of tartan paint and some skyhooks.

I'm guessing it's probably about 80% apple juice. ISTR they usually stick some grape juice in these mixes as well.

Probably no more than 8% of any of the headline ingredients.
 
I just googled. :eek:

Me too. I think there is more passion fruit in passiona.

Btw, whatever the ingredients say, it's actually worse. Apparently Tropicana long term store their orange juice in vats. This is fine except that it loses it's colour, flavour and vitamins. So it's basically grey sugar water. Easily fixed with colours and flavours. But wouldn't they have to put them on the label? I hear you ask. No, because the industrial processes that creates the additives use orange as the main or only ingredient. So it's still, legally, 100% orange.

"Apple Juice (48%) Grape Juice Orange Juice Mango Puree (6%) Kiwi Fruit Puree (5%) Passionfruit Juice (2%) Antioxidant: Ascorbic Acid"
No percentage s for grape or orange, so I imagine they are the missing percentages.
Yep this is the answer.
48% orange
39% Apple and grape in unspecified proportions
6% mango
5% kiwi
2% passion fruit

So a staggering 87% of the 100% fruit juice product is made from other cheaper fruit.

If you look closely you will see a picture of an Apple segment on the package, but no picture of any oranges or grapes.

This just seems very shady marketing.
