Hell I really don't buy soda period. Orange juice and tonic water is a winning combo for me.
Check your Orange Juice brand, Coke owns at least one or two (and Pepsi probably does as well but I don't know for sure).
Exactly! The major food companies have a monopoly. Several years ago there were impending legislation or a proposed law. (I don’t remember the legal terms.) Groups and small healthy based food were trying to get the laws changed. Food would be required to have all health information listed, non gmo, organic, etc. A food can be listed as organic and it might be only 10% organic. The large corporations paid a lot of money to bury this! Basically a few select owns the majority of US food production. I’m probably leaving out several details. I think the year was 2016 or 2017.

I live in Russia and there are like 6 different juice brands that are all ultimately owned by either Pepsi or Coca-Cola. There's even one with folksy traditional Russian art to make it look like a domestic brand. This was one of the things I looked into right away when I moved, since I was already avoiding them when I lived in America. Surprising to see the coverage so saturated in this distant market! Fortunately there are domestic brands of good quality.
Be gigachad and grow your own orange trees and squeeze your iwn juice!
Coke owns Minute Maid, pepsi owns tropicana. I buy fresh squeezed non pasteurized from my local grocer but you have to drink it all in 4 days or it is bad.
