Prickly Pear Lemonade, 12 FZ
What You Should Know
You'd find ME & THE BEES Prickly Pear Lemonade in the refrigerated specialty-beverage aisle or the grab-and-go cooler — a bright, artisanal-looking bottle promising a fruity, sunny twist on classic lemonade. It gives a playful, slightly nostalgic summer-vibe, but the prominent sweetness and uniform texture come from added sugars and concentrates rather than fresh-squeezed fruit. The ingredient list (cane sugar, juice concentrates, natural flavors, vegetable color, citric acid) and the shelf-ready formulation point to industrial processing typical of ultra-processed drinks.
