"Re-invented" Sunny D draws criticism

Maybe people wouldn't be so outraged about Sunny D if i didn't actually look like orange juice. As it is now, British consumers are upset because the UK version of the beverage has recently been "re-invented" yet still contains 42 grams of sugar per 500 ml bottle (roughly 16 ounces), according to the Daily Mail. I believe that's about the same as Coca Cola. Sure enough, if you check out the Sunny D UK site, you'll see plenty of hype for their new formula. Personally, I don't see what all the aggravation is about. It's a soft drink like any other. It just happens to look a little more wholesome than, say, grape soda. I guess that whole fish-kill incident didn't help Sunny D's reputation though.
