I asked my dad for 100% cranberry juice, and he brought back cranberry juice cocktail with a giant 100% label with a tiny "100% vitamin C". Don't you just hate when the label tricks you like that? At first I thought of returning it, but then I decided to compare cranberry juice vs cranberry juice cocktail via google, and the biggest difference is that cranberry juice is sweetened with other juices while cranberry juice cocktail is sweetened with high fructose corn syrup and it's the same amount of calories and sugar content. So I looked at what my dad got for me. It's Ocean Spray which is a really good brand, and there is no high fructose corn syrup on the label, just about three or four simple ingredients. So I decided to keep it instead of making an effort to return it because it's still healthy to drink and all I'll be getting to return it is the label and a different kind of sweetener.

So today is day one folks! Just about to have my breakfast.
