| Look familiar? Chances are you've seen these in your grocery store's produce section . |
See that coupon in your local grocery store newspaper? Oh look juice is on sale. It's the healthy kind too, or is it? Fruit juice has been given a bad name thanks to Sugar. When looking for a healthy alternative to soda, the first thing most people will look for on a label is sugar content. Naked and Odwalla both pride themselves on being "No Sugar Added" brands. These drinks do have natural sugars found in the fruits and vegetables themselves.
Making drinks from produce that taste good isn't that easy given the possibility of disgusting combinations you could have. So we got curious a while back and took a closer look at which health drink people really prefer. We had a quick survey of a little over 900 grocery shoppers all over in southern California to taste these drinks.

Even though both drinks were well received, people really enjoyed the Naked drinks. Some Odwalla drinks gave people a sour face for some reason. We were told some of the blends were "bitter" or just "hard to drink". The landslide result was pretty devastating for Odwalla.
Interesting Facts
