Tropicana Light Fruit Punch

Tropicana Light Juice DrinkTropicana Light is a "juice drink" since it is made from juice concentrate. I prefer to call it, "flavored water" since that's what it tastes like. I tried the Fruit Punch flavor, and it tasted like Kool Aid with too much water added - really watered down Kool Aid. If you think that you're going to get something even remotely tasting like juice - forget about it!

The label says that there are 90% fewer calories than the regular fruit punch - only 10 calories and 1 gram of sugar in this 'juice drink.' The packaging also says, "No artificial colors or flavors added." But isn't Splenda "artificially" made? i.e. not found in nature?

The verdict: It tastes 'okay' and it was on sale for $1.00, so that made it worth it.

Well, what do you expect for only 10 calories per serving? This is a nice alternative to water or diet soda for me. I agree that the taste isn't exactly heavenly...but it's not the worst thing i've ever downed either.

As for splenda being "all natural", they can probably get away with saying that because splenda is a derivative of sugar. It's made from sugar and not in a test tube (or so they say..)
