    I very specifically remember the controversy 15-20 years ago when it was found that many of these pouches had mold in them, and you couldn’t see it because of the pouch or even taste it. I’m sure the quality control since then has improved, but any time I see a pouch of juice, I think about that mold incident.

      Is that why some brands made the back of the pouch transparent?

        I would assume so. I would also think a lot of people just aren’t comfortable consuming something that they can’t see.

          Now if only we could get transparent aluminum cans.

          (I mean technically we can? But it wouldn’t be the same. Just super dense synthetic corundum at best.)

            it would be so crazy if we used that one barely functional tried and true for hundreds if not thousands of years product called glass.

              Yes, but I meant the full can experience. Like pop top, leave it on the counter and the fizz dies. Lol.

      When they started doing the childrens semi-solid foods (applesauce) in similar packs, they had the exact same problem for YEARS

      The form factor sucks ass and I wish they’d find a better way for both types of product
