Did You Know...?
By Daniel Friedman



No lie, it's juicy

It's a truth serum. It's a fruit juice. No, it's a "drink pouch" by the Honest Tea company. Honest Kids juice is low in sugar, with no high- fructose corn syrup — just natural cane sugar. It has half the sugar and calories of classic Coke, so that's something. And its organic. But how does it taste?

Let's go to the Did You Know taste test report: The best was the Tropical Tango Punch. A nice blast of orange flavor without being overpowering. The next best was the Goodness Grapeness. One of the only grape drinks I've had that didn't taste purple, but instead had an actual, subtle grape flavor. The least convincing was the Berry Berry Good Lemonade. The berry flavor just didn't come through, though like the others, it was refreshing, with no cloying sweetness to weigh it down. Honest Tea is available at some (not all) Valley Safeway, AJ's Fine Foods, Sam's Club and Whole Foods stores. If you want the list, shoot us an email. For more information about the product, visit Honest-Kids.com.
