OCEAN SPRAY RIP-OFF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM UK CITIZENS
Ocean Spray sell their delightful Cranberry Classic juice drink in hundreds of high price super marts across the UK. The typical price for a 1 liter carton is $1.62. In the friendly super marts across the US lucky citizens can purchase 3 liters for the same price.
The UK product contains 25% cranberry juice the rest is (you guessed it) good ole water. So little Englanders and great Britainers are forking out $6.48 for a liter of real juice. If the spundulicks are tight it's always possible to buy the Cranberry Classic Light for $1.20 a liter carton. This aneamic brew contains a measley 10% of honest to goodness American cranberries.
The huge price difference cannot be justified by transport costs; the pure juice gets concentrated many times over in the US before being shipped low cost freight to the UK. As the minimum wage in the UK is $7.10 per hour neither is it a high wage issue. One key benefit is that the UK product is endorsed by the Association for Continence Advice (i.e. it keeps you regular). Just as well then its not just an ordinary high price rip off product; its got inbuilt flow control.
