Current Events > Some food and drinks are scams

(+) Yeah! (+)

Basically in a shop I saw a drink that says honey and green tea, the scam is it only has 0.18% honey and 0.48% green tea. How can they call it honey and green tea, when it barely has anything.

This is why reading the product ingredients is important, there is no telling what they can put inside them.

Air is a scam

We only get like 20% oxygen

I need 100% pure oxygen moment for my adversaries

i guess bags of potato chips are scams since 70% of the bag is air. lol

That isn't the same thing.

Here is another example, a guacamole with a picture of a avocado, when it doesn't have avocado at all. It uses 0.40% powder avocado. It uses many filler ingredients, which guacamole doesn't use.

Bacon added to anything is a scam. Itll be like $3 on a burger for a shitty piece of bacon. Ordering bacon on it's own does not suffer from this rip off tactic

That kind of stuff is regulated, just a different levels. There are a bunch of brands of orange juice that don't have the word juice on the bottle because of it, for example.

That type is so nasty. Just mix avocado, onion, lime, and cilantro.

I make my own guacamole, since I like using it on food. I add some some black pepper or cayenne pepper.

I haven't noticed that, then again I gave up drinking fruit drinks a long time ago.
So what do they do to the orange juice, that doesn't have juice on the bottle? What is the difference?

What about drinks that says from concentrated?

The FDA regulates how much juice needs to be included in certain products to let you call it juice. So something from concentrate would be okay, but something that uses a lot of artificial sweeteners would not.

Here's the Google AI answer which more or less lines up with what I thought to be true:

If an orange juice label doesn't say "juice," it likely means the product isn't 100% fruit juice and contains added sweeteners, flavorings, or water, making it a "fruit-flavored drink" rather than pure orange juice; the FDA requires labels to clearly state the percentage of juice content, so if it doesn't say "100% juice," it's not considered true juice.

I went to the shop, but they didn't have it, if it is in the shop tomorrow I will post it.

Here is the Green Tea with Honey:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Arizona-Vert-Miel-50cl-pack/dp/B017XHK75A

Ingredients

water, sugar, 2% pear juice from concentrate, fructose, honey (0,43%), green tea extract (0,12%), antioxidant: ascorbic acid, acid: citric acid, natural flavouring, sweetener: steviol glycosides.

I doubt Soylent Green is ENTIRELY people. There must be some other active ingredients. Making it entirely out of people would be unaffordable.

Bananas are the biggest scam on the market, brother
