From Deseret News archives:
Simply great on the outside
Bonnie: What I really like about both of these new beverages from drink-maker Coca-Cola is that they're made with lemon or lime juice, natural flavor and real sugar not high-fructose corn syrup (HFC), a man-made substance used in Coke whose effect on human metabolism is being questioned.
In other words, these all-natural, refreshing drinks are similar to what you'd get at your kids' lemonade stand, with one exception: They contain none of the vitamin C that's normally found in citrus fruits. The company says "they don't make any claims" about vitamin C; I say it's probably destroyed in the processing. (Neither Minute Maid Limeade nor Lemonade, also from the Coca-Cola Co., claims to have vitamin C either.) So enjoy these new "ades" after getting your day's vitamin C from your morning glass of fresh orange juice.
The problem to me is that these Simply juice drinks don't taste all that different from refrigerated lemonade and limeade in cartons. Simply Lemonade actually seems thicker with sugar-water than regular refrigerated Minute Maid Lemonade from concentrate. And high viscosity is not something I associate with freshly made lemonade.
Simply Limeade is lighter and better, and will lend an upscale look to your table, even if it really isn't much simpler or better than Minute Maid.
Limited Edition Oreo Cookies. Dunkers, and Dulce de Leche Caramel Creme. $2.99 per 13-ounce or 14-ounce package.
Bonnie: You have to be quick if you want to try either of these two new Oreos because they're in supermarkets only through the end of July. The question is: Should you rush out to get them?
