What You Should Know

You'd grab this chilled bottle from the refrigerated grab-and-go cooler or the iced tea/juice aisle — an Arnold Palmer-style half & half for picnics, road trips, or a sunny lunch break. It feels nostalgic and marketed as a healthier, organic option, but the use of concentrated juices, added evaporated cane sugar, lemon flavor and industrial formulation gives it a smooth, ready-to-drink texture and the hallmarks of a highly processed beverage.
