What is Juice?!


Well, I'm certainly hoping that you know the answer to that question. It is, however, simply rhetorical, and refers to comedian Dave Chappelle's skit on juice versus drink. He states that white people love juice, and that black people have no idea what juice is, and they prefer drink--a beverage devoid of all nutrients and colored to a hue that resembles its counterpart.

If you are at all offended by improper language and Chappelle's humor, don't bother watching the below clip. But I just happen to think this is hilarious:

Naturally, I would rather you choose juice over drink, regardless of your race or upbringing. And if you are having juice, make it 100% fruit juice. Believe me, it won't be hard to find--food manufacturers are always proud to emblazon such statements on the label. Also, be aware of how much you are drinking; juice often contains as much sugar as other sweetened beverages, such as iced tea, lemonade, and soda. However, juice is a better option as it contains the nutrients naturally found in the fruit it was made from.
