   supermarket still claims they use 100% juice concentration for their orange juice, but it tastes different from the bottle I just finished. I think they started cheating giving the orange juice crisis.

     @kaia marketing is a language on it's own. If it says "100% fruit juice concentrate", it's probably ~50% apple juice because cheaper. If it's "100% orange juice", they can still add more water than what was originally in the fresh juice, making it thinner. That's why 100% direct juice" is a thing. "100% nectar", on the other hand, is just fruit juice based sugar water.
     Some declarations are really tightly controlled, but only if they actually apply to the product name. And there are plenty of creative naming shemes to avoid that. :comfyevilplot:

     @kaia Yes, they get the concentrated orange powder (produced via evaporation or freeze-drying) and put 100% of that into water.
     
     It's clearly not as good as fresh juice mind you.
