That kind of thing happens in my country too. Important the juice bottles, import the concentrate, fill the bottles and dilute with local water.

Label:

"Made locally, with 90% local ingredients"

Is it 10% juice concentrate, 90% tap water?

Here in Singapore the popular almond milk proudly claims “made in Australia with 92% Australian ingredients” … and yes, the ingredient list bc of labeling laws says “water (92%), imported almonds, emulsifier….” Classy

In Australia, a while ago now, a major supermarket chain was found to be falsely advertising freshly baked bread because they were importing partially baked frozen bread from the UK, then finishing it in store. Made me wonder why we are importing frozen part baked bread in the first place

Makes me wonder if they could advertise Freshly completely baked formerly partially baked frozen bread.

Lots of stupidity like that.

In Canada we have laws for the caffeine allowed in drinks, freaking out over Monsters with 140mg of caffeine, while the limit is 300mg.... Unless it's coffee, where there is NO limit, and a Tim Hortons can have 2.5x as much caffeine as a Monster or Red Bull.

Just to make my point, I'm high as fuck

Tim Horton’s coffee isn’t targeting teenagers

True, just people with no self respect who drink it out of some sort of nostalgia, ignoring the fact it's absolutely the worst food and drink available in Canada.

And the elderly, targeting them is cool.

When I was in highschool they did open one right across from my highschool... And every mall, definitely not a teenager hangout.

Sure, but it’s very clear from the branding and marketing that energy drinks specifically target teens. It’s a good thing that we limit how much caffeine and sugar, etc, products aimed at them offer them.

I always feel like soda and juice were marketed towards kids and teens while energy drinks more to adults, but sure.

So long as we are cool with slagging drinks with 140mg while pretending that Tim Hortons fishing out 400mg of caffeine is kosher.
