I first heard about Minute Maid's Pulpy Orange fruit drink on TV. The commercial was so captivating, showing that the drink has real pulpy orange bits and more. So I became curious what it tastes like.
Lucky me that my uncle wanted to try it and bought a few bottles. Not that I'm already health-conscious back then but every time I eat or drink something, I never forget to check on the back side for nutrition facts and as a very keen observer, I've found some unauthenticity in this fruit drink.
It's mentioned on TV that it has real pulpy orange bits and yet nothing on the label said it has Vitamin C. That’s true, Minute Maid Pulpy Orange by Coca-cola has no Vitamin C. Imagine that, enjoying real orange taste with real pulpy orange bits and no Vitamin C. Is there an orange existing out there without the nutrients?
Why spend for something and not getting the right nutrients? What a disappointment, right? It's just a waste of money. I'm still not sure about this though. Maybe yes as a regular consumer but I'm not a scientist, or something related, so please correct me if I'm wrong.

The labels on minute maid sold in Canada say 80% Vitamin C. Other brands have 100% Vitamin C.

It's not nutritious at all, it's just another sugary drink fooling people into thinking it has some nutrients in it.
