Notes: This beverage is a brand that I loved in my college days. I remember stopping by at the local Wilson Farms on my Friday trip to to Versailles, NY and buying one of these every week. Mistic used to have a wide-range of flavors in the pre-Snapple days. Really, their only competition back then was Arizona and New York Seltzers. Everything else was fruit juice or soda pop. I liked Mistic because it was mostly juice (it's only 3% juice now, but back then it didn't have HFCS either). The current brand still had a flavor reminiscent of Hawaiian Punch (another personal favorite), but less artificial. They still use natural colors, but while the flavor profile is the same, the only juice here is pear. It's worth a try, if you don't read the label.
