The FTC Made Me Admit It: I Drank a Free Juice
The Federal Trade Commission ruled this week that bloggers must disclose any freebies or payments they get from companies for reviewing their products. I rarely review products, but when/if I do, I always disclose the information. So today I am talking about Pom Wonderful. The company sent me a couple of bottles of their new flavors. Pom started out as a pomegranate juice company and now they are branching out. A friend and I tried the two new juices — kiwi and nectarine — last night with dinner. I have to say what I’ve said before about Pom juices. They may be healthy, but they are waaaaayy too sweet for me. When I dilute the juice with seltzer, it works better for me. So there. Case closed.
