Bad “Lemon Juice”: essn(tm) sparkling meyer lemon juice

Posted on May 29, 2007 by Tito

I went to safeway in search of a sixer of purity.organic lemonade, but they did not stock it. In its stead, I bought a 250mL can of essn(TM) sparkling meyer lemon juice. After chilling it in an ice bath in my cubicle for about 15 minutes, I popped the top and began my disappointment. A quick scan of the ingredients list showed the culprit:

CARBONATED WATER
WHITE GRAPE JUICE CONCENTRATE
MEYER LEMON JUICE CONCENTRATE
NATURAL FLAVOR

The essn(TM) rapscallions are trying to pass off grape juice as lemon juice, and managed come up with a slightly fizzy (thx carbonated water!) grape wash that tastes what I imagine a juicy baby burp would taste like after said baby sucked on some lemons.

BMK Verdict: AVOID!

P.S. I’m still not clear on the distinction between “lemonade” and “lemon juice”. Either way - this stuff is barf.
