Beverages

Including, genuinely, the apple juice.

The business directory files this shop under “Packaged Apple Juice Retailers”, which reads like a mistake and is not one — it is the B Natural range, and it does sit on the shelf.

Water

What this list is. The lines this shop keeps in stock, not a live count of the shelf and not a price list. Ranges and pack sizes change with what the distributor sends. Ask before making a special trip for one item.

Juice, nectar and drink are three different things.

The words are regulated and they are not interchangeable — which is worth knowing before comparing two cartons on price.

Highest fruit content

Juice

Made from fruit, with no added sugar in the case of a 100% juice. It is the dearest of the three and the label will say so plainly.

Part fruit, part water

Nectar

Fruit pulp diluted and usually sweetened. Perfectly good, and not the same thing as juice — the front of the pack will use the word.

Least fruit

Fruit drink

A small proportion of fruit, mostly water and sugar. Cheapest by some way. Nothing wrong with it; just know which one you are holding.

The percentage is printed on every pack because it has to be. If two cartons sit side by side at very different prices, that number is almost always the reason.

Cold drinks, from six in the morning
