In recent months many Peach juices have hit the scene. I think it started with the Simply brand coming out with orange juices and lemonades. It was really popular due to how they presented the product. (my opinion) Many juices from other companies were in cartons where you couldn't see the juice. Other's that you could see just weren't appealing. Simply had really clear bottles and simple ingredients. When you saw them in the store they were appealing. I certainly bought some even though I didn't care for orange juice. I tried the pineapple orange and that was really good! Simply brand became more and more popular and introduced other flavors. One of my favorites was their fruit punch. Simple ingredients and great taste. Their labels didn't have all these long word ingredients. It was short and all things I could pronounce. Other companies started to follow their lead. Tropicana burst back on the seen with watermelon juice amongst others. (literally the best thing or one of). They were in clear bottles so you can really see what's inside. Also, the price was really affordable. Now Minute Made followed suit with clear bottling. They have almost mimicked the flavors of these other brands. This is good ole competition at work here.
Just recently, at least in my area, a new entry has been born. I believe Tropicana started with the flavor and the others followed. Tropicana created a peach lemonade and strawberry peach. These flavors were so popular and were often sold out. Other companies saw the popularity and copied. Simply didn't right away jump on the bandwagon. However, when they got on board with the peach craze. They did it solo, meaning Peach by itself and not a duo. (It does have Lemon Juice in it. Its a silent partner lol). In my opinion they won the peach craze war. This is the best thing ever to me and again simple ingredients!
I began to think, why hasn't this been a flavor years ago. The peach is a classic fruit just like the apple. You see apple juice all over the place for years. You haven't seen peach juice on the mainstream grocery aisle until now. I don't have a theory yet but found it very interesting. Maybe the Steemit family can answer this? If you haven't tried this please give it a shot. You will love it and wonder why hasn't this been a thing 10 years ago. Or maybe I am just out of my mind!!! LOL
