C’plus Orange Burst – “Now More Sunkist ® Juice*…”
August 8, 2005
“…*CONTAINS 5% JUICE”
Ha! Thanks!
This soda has an even better gag up its sleeve!
C’plus is an orange drink, so we assume that the “C” refers to vitamin C.
A brief glance at the “Nutrition Facts” label will show the following:
Vitamin A… 0%
Vitamin C… 0%
Calcium… 0%
Iron… 0%
Hm.
If we are talking about a registered trademark, can it still considered “false advertising”?
Could they argue in court that the “C” stands for “Courtesy” or “Calories” or “Cadbury”…?

Maybe it stands for “Contains”… what country is it from?
“Contains Plus” ?!
This is a Cadbury Schweppes product, available (at least ) in Canada.
Who knows… maybe the “C” is for Canadia.
Well, my first guess would be (naturally) Vitamin C, but that’s obviously not the case.
Well, therein lies the joke – because US-style “Nutrition Facts” weren’t requisite in Canada until very recently.
Prior to that, nutrition labeling in Canada was so random and non-standardized that it wouldn’t surprise is C’plus was omitting this vital detail on it’s packaging.
but how does it taste.
Wot? Who cares?
It tastes like an Orange Crush desperately trying to be an Orangina.
How’s that?
