****All those fruit drink companies, including Innocent, Feel Good, and all the smoothie places, are just taking advantage of your health concerns, making you think that it costs heaps to drink healthily. Go to many places in the world, like Taipei for example, and you can get a fresh fruit juice(where they take the fruit, ice, blend it, and serve....nothing more) for around $0.25 to $1, and it's not ONLY because the economy is different. They also don't include a lot of yoghurts and other fillers into it. I get charged $4 USD at my local smoothie place, and now I wonder why it's so expensive. :confused: It's juice with some milk and yoghurt/ice, and their fruit juice isn't even fresh fruits......its sweetened preserved fruits mixed with sugary syrup. The only thing that's fresh is the banana they always add. No reason to charge so much for not-so-fresh, unnatural fruit juice. :rolleyes:
