Nu South: Lemonade

This new bottled lemonade brand from Atlanta has a nice mix of lemon and sweetness, but the sweetener, high-fructose corn syrup, left our tongues tingling in an unnatural way. The label is simple and unoffensive, featuring a denim-y blue color and an ink-stamp Nu South logo. We think it could find a market – the first time. But it’s not likely to again due to a major design flaw: the plastic bottle is so cheap and flimsy that it nearly bent in half when we lifted it up to drink. The bottle walls bend at the slightest pressure, meaning you’re as likely to have to clean up the drink as consume it. That’s a major problem both visually and functionally speaking.
