I call shenanigans! Libby's Cherry Juice with 100% juice on the label...
actually has apple juice and then grape juice as its primary and secondary ingredients. Cherry juice places 3rd. Libby is officially a no good lying whore!

On a related note, the juice did mix well with vodka.

1. Juicy Juice is the same way..
It has enough of the berry juices to color it, the rest is apple, pear, or some other cheaper juice. It too mixes well for drinks. ;)

2. isn't cherry juice sort of like cranberry juice...
i.e. it has to be cut with a much milder juice to be drinkable?

4. Do you have any idea how many cherries it would take to make
a full glass of cherry juice? They aren't exactly the juiciest of juicy fruits.

7. Hey, they're doing their best, if you don't like it, then YOU hire someone
to squeeze all those damn cherries :)

8. Damnit! 20 Million Russians died to keep the Germans from taking over and
all we have to show for it is shitty beer and fake cherry juice! I'm getting pissed off here!

9. Okay, I admit it, I used to work as a cherry juicer! It's not easy work
You get paid by the cherry, and if they find any cherry husks with juice left, you get docked for that cherry when they tally your total at the end of the day. I toiled all day squeezing cherries, and in one day you can hardly squeeze enough juice for one glass, and I was one of the best producers.

You should have a little more respect for us red-handed cherry juicers :(

11. 12? We worked 18 hour shifts with 1 bathroom break and no lunch.
And I didn't even make enough to buy a glass of the juice I produced. I could hardly afford the cheerio I had for breakfast. That's right, cheerio, as in single, not plural. And milk? Don't make me laugh, I didn't get milk unless I snuck into the dairy farm down the street and milked the cow myself.

15. No, they just decided that using all cherry juice wasn't cost effective
so they started using only a small percentage of cherry juice in drinks, as you noticed yourself.

I now juice grapes for a winery in the Sonoma Valley instead.

13. Says "100% Juice", not "100% *Cherry* Juice" !
So they are being perfectly honest.

If you *think* you're getting cherry juice, that's not their fault....marketing and all that. I'm sure their lawyers had a hand in it too....
