I was given a free carton of juice outside the station on the way to work today.
This is the juice:
http://adez.com/It's obviously pronounced A - Dez, but it struck me as stupid, that a company might brand their product with a name that may be pronounced to sound like 'aids'. Surely someone must have questioned it, imagine the advert:
"I sure am thirsty, I think I might have cool refreshing glass of adez"
Maybe they could use this song for the ad too:
- rasko40
maybe it's homeopathic

hahaha, you get it in victoria?
I got one the other day and thought the EXACT same thing, I almost felt to say woah girly - you just handed me adez in your box

Those writhing bottles on the site just freaked me out.

Anyone that drinks soya may as well aids, so I'm not that bothered.

the logo makes the juice seem... dirty and moldy. why the fuck would they use the 'clouds' filter on their adez text like that?
gross.
but then again, i'm drinking a cup of tea now that seriously tastes like i just walked past a pine tree, took a big hunk of bark off the tree and put it into a cup of hot water. fuckin gross.

For me theres just something suspitious about tring to make fruit More healthy....
Fruit and beans... come off it.
Bit like saying "here, have this steak we've pumped it full of extra vitamins so it's so much better for you"

What the fuck is this bullshit soya huh? Every coffee shop runt wants to put it my coffee, my girlfriend wants to put it in my tea (fucking blasphemy) and now they're sticking it in juice. What the fuck is wrong milk, I hark? It's fucking bad for me apparently. The (maybe) 150ml I put in tea a day is BAD for me? It's fattening and I should buy fucking skimmed milk? I could understand if I lived off the stuff, took baths in it, curdled it and ate it, brushed my teeth with it, but I only put the shit in tea!
Will it kill me?
Did I miss the health scare?
God damn.
Somehow I think Sex in the City is to blame for all this healthy hysterical hideousness.

COW JUICE FOR EVER...
It's all that " i'm intollerant " crap.
