Advantages: Great taste and value Disadvantages: Difficult to open
Background:
When I was a child Apple juice was always in my household and especially to me considered a luxury. We only had it when we were on holiday as a starter before our main breakfast. These days I enjoy a glass most nights with my dinner, my how times change.
Value Apple Juice:
A one-litre carton of pure Apple Juice can cost up to £1.93 in my local Tesco?s. However I have recently started to economise and have been experimenting with the Tesco Economy Apple Juice that currently costs just 56p.
This type of Apple Juice is made solely by Tesco. Admittedly not as cheap as the Value Orange Juice they also make but are not currently sold in the same high volumes either.
Packaging:
I am very pleased to say that Tesco have improved their packaging of all their Value range in the last few months ...
Advantages: Acting, Pacing Disadvantages: Story may be overly-familiar for some
Ernest R. Dickerson makes his directorial debut with Juice, a story of four black youths living in a world of Hip-Hop and violence. For them, music and the dangers of gunplay are coincided.

The story is well paced by Dickerson: The character development is sufficient as it provokes a reaction from the viewer in regards to the glamorization of violence within the urban lifestyle. We notice the real struggles and consequences of being young, black and poor. When the characters feel the need to obtain a gun, there's a sense ...

Advantages: Tasty, good for you, nice colour Disadvantages: expensive
I love fruit juice and I always like to try new flavours so when I saw Pomegreat on sale it really caught my eye. The packaging is yellow and a kind of deep burgundy/red and manages to look both retro and modern and the same time. Upon further examination of the, (recyclable), carton I notice the logo for H.E.A.R.T. UK - The Cholesterol charity and "assumed" that the juice would help those with a cholesterol problem, (the other half recently had a test following his Dad's triple bypass operation and discovered he has inherited the problem), so I popped a carton in the trolley.
After I got this home and read the packaging, (no small feat - it is covered with text), I discovered that Pomegreat made no specific claims about the benefits for your health or your cholesterol. I have looked at the website too and the closest you get to ...
