Review: Coconut & Pineapple Juices

Despite saying “Coconut and Pineapple Juices” on the front label, this product actually has zero percent juice (we’re pretty sure that this isn’t a legal way to label it, but that’s their problem). In any event the drink has a pina colada flavor, which is drinkable, but nothing that we’d go out of our way for. The product uses a blend of sugar and stevia, which gives it a moderate level of sweetness but doesn’t fully hide the stevia aftertaste. The purpose of the drink, which is to pair astrological signs (in this case Cancer) with functional ingredients and flavorings, seems a bit ambitious to us. And we must say, having a proprietary “Cancer Blend” is something that we have a hard time taking seriously. Visually, there’s some good stuff here (we like the star logo and the type treatment on Star Nectar), but there’s way too much clutter on the product. Ultimately, this company needs to consider that a beverage like this is going to be consumed for flavor and refreshment over any functional claims. That’s a place where this product definitely needs to improve -- the rest of it is really moot.
