Instagram consumer Connor Clary (@connor.clary) thinks that Big Juice is mendacity to us, and it does not take a lot digging for consumers to peer how they're being misled.

According to the Influencer, together with numerous examples he is posted to his viral post concerning the phenomena one may simply call "applejucification" he presentations that fashionable smoothies and drinks that are advertised as being predominantly produced from one team of culmination are, at their core just apple juice.

He opens up his video via stating: "Apparently a lot of these juices you buy from the grocery store are actually just apple juice regardless of what it says on the front of the bottle. Like this Naked Strawberry & Banana Smoothie surely this contains strawberry and banana, right? I mean sure I'd expect some added sugar, some citric acid, maybe some preservatives that are too long and confusing to pronounce," he says within the clip.

He goes on to speculate what he at the start concept the Naked smoothie would probably include: "But other than that this is going to be mostly strawberry and banana, right?"

The video then transitions to a snapshot of the nutrition label of the Naked beverage: "Errghh, WRONG. This strawberry banana smoothie is made out of 45% apple juice."

Connor then goes on to take a look at another juice from the shelf to look what its primary substances are: "All right round two of the Gold Machine Naked Smoothie. Think about all the golden fruits that you could put in this drink. I mean pineapple juice, is a thing, right here on the front of the package, it says it contains passion fruit, mango, and guava. Sounds pretty good to me."

However, in what is a ordinary pattern of Connor's criticism of "Big Juice" he reveals that the "Gold Machine" beverage is, once more, basically produced from apple juice: "So tell me, do you think this Naked Gold Machine smoothie contains mostly just apple juice? Lock in your answers."

Although he does a bit quiz display bit set-up prior to revealing the truth in the back of the Gold Machine smoothie's contents, he in the end unearths that yes, it does comprise a lot of apple juice in it.

"Welcome to daycare this Gold Machine smoothie is 62% apple juice."

Another part of his quiz contains a long-time staple and a juice most folks most likely wouldn't assume contained any apple juice whatsoever: "Let's up the difficulty a bit with this Cran-Raspberry juice what do you think is in here? Would you think this is Apple juice? I mean cranberry juice is a thing, I don't know about raspberries but I bet you could juice it somehow?"

Connor continued, "Lock in your answers 3, 2, 1, this is Apple juice and grape juice? Which for some reason makes me even more mad. This isn't even actually juice it's juice 'drink'," he issues out as he displays off a label detailing an image of the beverage bottle in question.

"And the addition of the word 'drink' at the end means they can put whatever they want in this bottle. Like this cranberry juice 'cocktail' that everyone buys. It only contains about 25% juice the rest of it is just water and blood sacrifice probably."

It isn't just pre-packaged juices one can purchase at grocery and convenience retail outlets that suffer from applejucification, Connor demonstrates.

"How about a strawberry acai refresher from Starbucks," his clip then transitions to an substances list web page of the coffee chain's drink: "Ice, water, sugar, white grape juice, what's happening?"

Connor stated that this phenomenon makes him bring to mind some other fashionable food with a reputation that many imagine is not in truth reflective of what its ingredients are: "This also makes me think of red velvet cake mixes," he said.

"I always thought this was some kind of luxurious exotic cake made with some special cocoa bean, mm, mmm, this is just chocolate cake with red 40 in it. The only luxurious part of this is synthetic dye. What other foods are lying to us?"

If one visits the Naked juice brand website and takes a gander at its offerings, Connor's applejucification claims hold even more weight as the following beverages they promote all listing apple juice from concentrate as their first substances:

• Rainbow Machine
• Green Machine
• Blue Machine
• Red Machine
• Power C Machine
• SuperFood Machine
• Strawberry Banana
• Tropical Protein
• Double Berry
• Mighty Berry

Do you feel like you might be being lied to? Or do you suppose it is just some way for juice producers to sweeten their beverages the usage of a fruit that is often in surplus in the United States.
