I noticed today after drinking a glass of juice, that I have paid for called " CRANBERRY POMGRANATE Juice BLEND, " (the word Blend is much smaller of course andin a color that also blends, with the background of the LABEL.) I noticed that NEITHER the Cranberry , nor the Cranberry Pomegranate taste like cranberries , but that they taste a bit like a “red”  kool-aide (cherry of sorts) mixed with something that is grape coloring, has lots of water, and I don’t' TASTE THE POMGRANATE AT ALL..so I started looking at the LABEL OF INGREDIENTS  with a magnifying glass and found this: 

BLEND W/ "ANOTHER" juice from concentrate. But this "another' juice , that it is blended with, doesn't seem to have a NAME? IS IT BLENDED WITH a, watered down prune juice perhaps? Could be a million different VARIETIES of "juices" there allot of FRUITS out there, but ALL I am told "have an exact NAME"..so, what is this "another" juice from concentrate that is listed. Now I am also questioning the word “blend ?” how much of each “named “ specifically by its proper name, JUICE....is making up the “blend?” Hard for a customer to CALCULATE without the specifics; I could guess, but Cherry Kool Aid says most of it--with “some” cranberry ? (maybe)

My main question here, is why isn't the company OBLIGATED TO TELL US EXACTLY what amounts of "real cranberry", "real pomegranate" juice this consists of, and why aren't they obligated to explain what THE WORD "ANOTHER" juice blend actually MEANS. I have to be a scientist to buy juice anymore, of any kind-might as well just buy Kool-Aide and MIX MY OWN BLEND with real juice from the Natural Foods Store ?

If it's been awarded CHEF’S BEST AWARD FOR TASTE, I'm wondering what kind of WINES the chefs had been tasting immediately prior to TASTING THIS ONE ?

now, IN READING MORE, I SEE THAT IT IS NOTED THERE IS "no high fructose" IN THIS "drink" either. That's good that there's NOT something that's sugary and fattening...but IF that's true, then WHAT IS THE SWEATENING INGREDIENT that is "actually used ?" Are they "leaving out the corn syrup and high fructose" but simultaneously putting in CHEMICAL SWEETNERS ?

I'm just saying, that for a person who LIKES both cranberry and pomegranate juice, and normally ADDS WATER OR ICE to the drink to be able to drink TART drinks from berries such as this...WHY DO BOTH OF THESE ACTUALLY "TASTE" much like watered down grape,plumb, or even a prune juice; prunes offer lots of coloring,and little flavor..so that would be a suspiciously appropriate possibility.

I WANT MY MONEY BACK but I have to physically deliver BOTH of these back to the store and wait in lines to do so...Therefore, much like the GENERAL PUBLIC I will simply not buy it ever again, now that I know it's really not CRANBERRY--it's about 1/10 cranberry, possibly 1/5 pomegranate--if any at all. Easy to copy pomegranate juice too.

My main question here, is why isn't the company OBLIGATED TO TELL US EXACTLY what amounts of "real cranberry", "real pomegranate" juice this consists of, and why aren't they obligated to explain what THE WORD "ANOTHER" juice blend actually MEANS. I'D  have to be a scientist to buy juice anymore, of any kind-might as well just buy Kool-Aide and MIX MY OWN BLEND with real juice from the Natural Foods Store  

As a LAST RESORT on behalf of a company I knew in the past to always produce good products-healthy -not allot of sugar added etc., products, that perhaps its' the specific juice I bought ---and the only one that reminds me of watered-down cranberry MIXED with grape, and/or Kool-Aid these days...the number might indicate a bad batch!

I'm glad I didn't make my MOTHER do the shopping; she'd notice the inadequacies, and then have to GET HER MICROSCOPE OUT  TO FILE A COMPLAINT; LOOK FOR A SO CALLED "  PRODUCT CODE  FIVE DIGITS, I still can't find that, and A LIST OF NUMBER AND LETTERS THAT " GET THIS, FOLLOW THE DATE CODE. Ok, nobody an find the date code, so we'll never be able to FIND THE LETTERS AND NUMBERS  THAT FOLLOW the date code. 

I hear so many other people complaining about this BOTTLE YOU CAN SEE THROUGH, this watered-down stuff, that I'm now going to think about POSTING THIS AT VONS, RALPHS AND ALBERTSON'S...it IS water, oh, with a BLEND of "ANOTHER" juice from concentrate. MIGHT AS WELL POST IT AT JIMBOS AND TRADER JOES TOO..MOSTLY BECAUSE, I HAVE TRIED TO WRITE TO THE COMPANY , AND THERE IS NO "CONTACT " WITH A "CONCERN" THAT GOES THROUGH WITHOUT A "PRODUCT CODE" AND WITHOUT A "LIST OF NUMBERS " THAT ARE STATED TO BE "AFTER" THE DATE CODE (WHICH WE CAN'T FIND ON THE BOTTLE ANYWHERE?) WOW...HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO "READ" THIS STUFF, WE JUST WANT TO BUY CRANBERRY AND POMEGRANATE JUICES--!!

HOW DARE THEM MAKE SOMEONE GO THROUGH THIS PROCEDURE, JUST TO TLEL THEM THERE'S SOMETHING "MISSING FROM" HOW THEY USED TO, PRODUCE "REAL JUICES !!!' AND SELL THEM.IT'S 3120027015. THAT IS THE ONLY NUMBER THAT IS READABLE WITH THREE OF MY NEIGHBOR'S HELPING WITH THEIR MAGNIFYING GLASSES!!

 THIS IS PROPOSTEROUS!!
