Goodbye to Pulpy tations - Welcome Minute Maid

create an avatar

I just drank a bottle of Minute Maid Pulpy. They say it’s got ‘no preservatives added’. Aw, c’mon…It’s bottled juice. Is that even possible? So I thought maybe... I am slowly getting deceived by a marketing strategy that capitalizes on advertising hype.  We live in a generation where preservatives thrive. There's just no way that I am buying this misleading ad. Is it for real?

The only way to check it is to compare it with other juice drinks. I had to buy several drinks in the grocery and when I saw a real orange fruit, I bought it as well. I must have splurged a lot for this pulpy experiment. The only way to prove Minute Maid's claim is by doing a "Taste it - To believe It" test.

I didn’t believe it the first time I heard it’s got no preservatives added.  So I read the ingredients (even the fine print) and everything checked out! It really has NO PRESERVATIVES ADDED!  That means it doesn’t have ingredients that may turn out to be allergens, or worse...carcinogens!  Whew! Now that’s healthy goodness that tastes so good, I... was so relieved that I spent time and money for my "Taste it - To believe it" experiment. There may be fine prints but the ultimate proof would be my taste buds. Plus the long-term physical manifestations of this drink to my body.

I now have a better replacement for my favorite frap and green soy latte. It's about time I consider a healthy lifestyle. No more pulpitations and unnecessary  allergic reactions.

So okay, it’s got no preservatives added. That’s really good, right?  Not just because it doesn’t have those icky, harmful ingredients, but it also means... that i can drink my Minute Maid Pulpy anytime I want. I don't have to worry about acid reflux, palpitations and high glucose. I can figuratively drown myself to this drink. Ü

So far anyone who still has a hard time believing that Minute Maid has got no preservatives added - meaning it's THAT natural, it's almost like it's plucked straight from the tree, it's just as Mother Nature wanted your orange juice to be, it's got nothing but the good stuff yes, none of those potentially toxic stuff that can harm your brain, kidneys, heart; cause tumors aargh- the list of preservatives' bad effects just go on!!! Anyway, just to prove a point on just how good Minute Maid Pulpy is 'cause it's got NO PRESERVATIVES ADDED, I'm gonna buy a month's supply of this drink in replacement of my one month supply of my somewhat costly non-acidic Vitamin C. This will definitely prove a major breakthrough in fruit juice drinks in the market. A healthier drink with anti-oxidants that is so convenient to buy.

Feels good to know about the real pulpy deal, right? C’mon show me a smile on the comment box, and you might win yourself a Really Pulpy Deal! (That’s a chance to win a Minute Maid gift pack simply by commenting. Sweet! C'mon you just might be picked as the lucky 'commentor'!)

Love,

Picky Pulpy Healthy Siren

Regine Vintage Sketches P1



2011 brings a new chapter to Regine's life. I am still wishing that the Songbird will have twins this year. Here's one of the vintage sketches done by Ritchie Nolasco. I usually call this Regine After Sex sketch (R2K magazine). This was an impromptu sketch as per my special request.
