When I saw the fruit juices in the grocery store I got excited thinking they would be as good as the ones I had in South Africa years ago. I couldn't read the words so I relied on the pictures but I didn't look too closely. If you look at both of these you'd think you were getting some yummy apple juice, right?!?
A closer look at the pictures would have revealed some interesting combinations. The one on the left is apple, litchi (walnut-sized and shaped with a hard shell and a tang), and mint. The one on the right is apple and mint. I think the apple/litchi/mint could grow on me. The apple/mint tastes and smells like a dentist's office. I can't see myself liking this combination, ever.
After learning our lesson with the pictures we looked a lot more closely the next time we bought juice. The leaves in the pictures are not mint leaves, etc. These were my two favorites: banana on the left and apple on the right. Drinking both juices was just like drinking the respective fruit. They were soooo good. I hope we can find these kinds of juices everywhere we go.
We find here in the Philippines that a casual glance at the picture often results in a surprise--and often times, not a fun surprize. Sounds like Poland and Philippines have something in common. G. Hull
