I've noted people (okay, anime nerds) buying $5 bottles of pomegranate juice lately. Now, not only is that horridly expensive, but it tastes BAD. I can stand to eat a pomegranate here and there, but man oh man it's too sweet and syrupy for anyone's health.

So okay, has anyone else seen this? I'm wondering if it's only a local thing.

My mum just bought some pomegranate/blueberry juice at the store, I had never tried it before.

Blech, it's so damn sour and sugary, I don't see how anyone could like it.

Grenadine is great in a lot of drinks (especially on slushies) but I've never seen actual pomegranate juice. Weird.

I read the topic has "explain to me the attractiveness of empregnate juice". That's it for tonight :lol

It can't be worse than tamarind.

I believe pomagranate juice is, first, getting a big marketing push these days.

Second, the marketing is based on the idea that the juice is high in anti-oxidants and therefore very good for you. At the price they charge, I don't know if I'd ever try it, but it seems like an odd juice to sell....

The draw?

No purple fingers?
thats my guess

I hear it's a powerful antioxidant.

You can learn more about it here: Pom Wonderful

Edit: I have never tried pomegranate juice before.

What kind of preparation was it? Refresco de tamarindo=refreshing

I don't know, but I sure love my Pomegranate Bubble Milk Tea...

Is it from a chain? I have not seen that one yet.

No, it's available from certain Milk Tea shops... but not all of them mix it the same way.
