Correct! I rarely buy any kind of single serve products like that although
I do have to buy the juice boxes once in a while for possible hypos. I do
also buy the bottles of Diet V8 Splash and Cranberry juices. Also tomato
and V8 type things for meatloaf and soup. I also buy sugar free powdered
drinks on occasion so I do go down that aisle. I think I have seen some
Capri Sun labeled as 100% Juice but I wasn't paying a lot of attention. I
will attempt to look it up now though to see. Yep! Sure enough they do
have 100% juice.
