Cranberry juice cocktail? Pomegranate juice cocktail?
The only cranberry or pomegranate juices that supermarkets sell are cocktail versions -- cranberry-grape, cranberry-blueberry, pomegranate-apple, etc.

What not just plain old 100% cranberry juice and 100% pomegranate juice?

1. Pom makes 100% pomegranate juice.
So does Knudsen (who also makes 100% cranberry juice). Quite a few companies make pure cranberry juice, but you may have to go to a health food store to find it. It's also quite pricey about $7/quart.

3. Pom right now is under fire from animal rights activists
The activists aren't happy that Pom has performed animal testing for their products. Pom the other week filed a federal lawsuit against the activists, hoping to get them labled "domestic terrorists".

4. Woah, I didn't hear about that.
Well, I won't be buying any Pom in the future.

7. What will we do for fresh pomegranates? Around here they all have the
POM stickers. The organic ones are tiny and $4 each!

8. I actually buy the organic ones, but they tend to be the same size.

9. You're so lucky. Maybe this years crop (sold around here) will be better!

14. Reading comprehension is not your strong point, obviously.
POM is suing the activists. The fact that you support cruel & unnecessary animal testing is disturbing, however.

6. Check the natural section.
I found 100% juices there--they even have it up here at my podunk Food Lion.

12. straight cranberry is pretty sour, but I have seen it
straight pom is EXPENSIVE but I have seen it as well (Pom, is a brand I think) You can buy pomegranates this time of year and juice them yourself - still they are a bit pricey - but YUM!
