Consumer Reports in its latest issue, November 2004 (it's not even October yet - I feel like I'm looking into the future), has a "Selling It" section on the last page (inside cover) that exposes a Tropicana rip off. Their new
Tropicana Light and Healthy product with "1/2 less sugar and calories" has more added water than orange juice, with some artificial sweetener thrown in. It's over 50% added water, but sells for about the same high price as their pure premium orange juice. What a concept! What could you do with this kind of marketing boldness in other areas? And which presidential candidate(s) may have already tapped into Tropicana's expertise for campaign guidance?
