I think it means nothing at all:
100% Juice
with other added ingredients

I think I agree.
I also think that the juice bottling company doesn't understand what the term "one hundred percent" means.

I think the juice company knows exactly what it is doing. They know that people are being educated on what to look for in their food. 100% juice not from concentrate is the lesson being taught to be better for you. People are being primed to this lesson. So this juice company is hoping to trick people who might foolishly only read the big print and ignore the little print.
Obviously, this juice company are cheats and crooks and all their products should be avoided.

And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')

There are a few of us who are getting more and more intelligent as the general population becomes less so. It is "we" who are marketing the juice.Ronbo wrote:As the effective intelligence level of the public continues to decay, you can expect to see more and more disingenuous advertising like this to pop up.

I must say I admire their confidence in their own ability to interpret Nature's intentions. I'm very happy to learn that for all these millennia Nature was waiting for electric squeezers to be invented so that oranges could be consumed according to her designs.Martin Milner wrote:We have a natural food store nearby called "As Nature Intended"...
Similar strange presumptions crop up quite frequently in advertising. For example, a phrase that struck me forcefully many years ago exhorted American tourists to "See Europe as it was meant to be seen..."
Meant by whom, I have always wondered.

That reminds me of some cereal Kellog's put out a couple of decades ago. I think it was Mucus or Musilix or something. They said, "The way breakfast was meant to be."
