What You Should Know

You'd spot this chilled bottle in the refrigerated drinks aisle or grab it from a convenience-store cooler on a hot afternoon—an easy grab-and-go iced tea with a modern 'better-for-you' spin. It feels light, slightly nostalgic and wholesome, marketed as functional because of added prebiotic fibers while still being sweet and refreshing. The presence of isolated fiber blends, added sugar, acidulants and natural flavors in a ready-to-drink format signals industrial formulation and processing typical of ultra-processed beverages.
