The reason they all have apple juice is it has one of the highest natural sugar ratios and that lets them market the juices as “no added sugar”.
It may also help them dodge sugar tax, depending on the exact wording of the law.

I used to work in a juice bar, and we were always told if they ordered something where the “standard” amount of fruit/veggie wouldn’t make enough juice to fill the volume, to add apple juice, cause its cheap sweet and juicy. Sneaky fine print on the menu and everything

this is true for the clear and vast majority of consumer products. store shelves should have one brand – regime brand – for every item and if you don’t like it you can pound sand https://t.co/coqQdjjHaS

And plot twist: a premium brand of Apple juice in a can is mostly grape juice concentrate.

To conclude …
Twitter truly is a fountain of wisdom if you allow it be, or it can be a cesspit of degeneracy.
Honestly astounded at this revelation https://t.co/wKHssSpEG4
