marketing backfires

[acsumama]

Yesterday at Walgreens I bought some pomegranate juice that advertised that it was:
* Gluten-free
* Lactose-free
* Low sodium
* Vegan

I'm a little disturbed by the implication that there might be non-vegan gluten-filled juice out there.

I assume it is from the same school of thought as the bag of pork rinds labeled "low-carb" and the gummy candy labeled "fat free."

I think I once saw a package of Coke Zero advertised as being good for hydration, as well.

Green's Endeavor beer is not only gluten-free, it also contains no mustard, peanuts, or tree nuts, or celery--that I can remember.

Yeah, everything's got 0 trans fats now, too!

I think I want to try that non vegan gluten filled juice.

The apricots I'm eating are cholesterol free. Whew, that's a load off my mind. :P
