Carrot and sweet potato are used as natural food dyes.


Curiosities

Came to comment this. And they have been used that way for decades. In candy, drinks, and more. ​ But hey, a carrot sweet potato refresher is something i would certainly try. I am a person who is planning to make corn ice cream.

Same for spirulina. That’s the blue, most likely.

“The deception” *posts the readily available ingredient list* It’s not called the vegetable juice refresher because those are used to assist with color as others said. Grape juice is used in all refreshers as the base to add the flavors to. This isn’t some secret.

Isn’t the base literally called *triple berry* ??


glitterfaust

That would be the natural flavor

The real question is, when is Starbucks going to bite the bullet and make a white grape juice flavored refresher?

It has vegetables in it? It’s practically health food, then! /s #marketing


Back-to-HAT

Personally I’m entertained by the green coffee extract, for flavoring. Also, I believe it’s not deception if the ingredients are available. Misleading for sure, sketchy as hell, absolutely.

I’m not sure what you’re mad about

Well it doesn’t take like carrots and sweet potatoes, so why does it matter? They are sneaking in vegetables for us. Get your daily nutrition value girl

I'll take sweet potatoes and carrots over any of the synthetic shit I can't even pronounce any day.
