Sundia is a new refrigerated watermelon juice beverage. While the marketability of watermelon juice is definitely questionable -- especially in a non-shelf stabile form -- Sundia has done a great job of creating a product that has a nutrition-focus but also tastes extremely good. The flavor is sweet and candy-like, which is nothing what a real watermelon tastes like. But let's be honest -- would you really want to drink straight watermelon juice?? Probably not. So, Sundia has fortified this product with pear juice and natural flavors and the refreshment value has been significantly improved. However, 165 calories and 40 carbs per bottle will potentially reduce the appeal to the diet conscious consumer. Then again, this is watermelon juice -- marketability isn't exactly overflowing from the bottle. In all seriousness, that's probably the biggest issue with this product (with calories and the candy like flavor being second and third). Yes, it's supposedly the #1 source of lycopene -- but that alone isn't going to make consumers flock to this stuff. Still, it's worth a try if you are in the mood for something different.
