What You Should Know

You'd spot this 12-pack of cranberry ginger ale in the soda aisle or chilled in a store fridge, likely grabbed for picnics, parties, or holiday mixers — bright, fizzy and a little festive. It reads indulgent and nostalgic, but the ingredient list (carbonated water, invert cane sugar, natural flavors and color additives) and sweet, bubbly texture reflect industrial formulation typical of an ultra-processed soft drink.
