Strawberry Frapp Falls Short of the Mark 

Why create an artificial product that is more expensive and not as good as the original? I guess even the best shoot and miss now and then.

I liked this, but have to deduct some points. 

Why am I deducting points? BevNET is right:

"A request from the Center for Science in the Public Interest to require ingredient labels to explicitly state that carmine is derived from insects was declined by the FDA. Food industries were aggressively opposed to the idea of writing "insect based" on the label and they finally agreed to simply putting "carmine"."

My point is, a company needs to care about their ingredients. If you need to add color to make it look like strawberry, maybe you should have used real strawberries. I understand that there are stability issues with real fruit, but some companies (Odwalla) do it, and you can taste the difference.
With insects, this shouldn't be marked kosher. Also, the new plastic seals are hard to get off, even more so while driving.
