they have this stuff at my local grocer's as well, mostly in soy milk-like cartons. i use it in small quantities to give smoothies interesting flavor... wouldn't think of having a glass of guanabana boing!

Pues he tomado el jugo de naranja "Americano" que venden en los restaurantes "Americanos" y el sabor es horrible.
PreferirÃa un buen boing.

Certainly strawberry at room temperature has the worst beverage flavor EVER. Popular flavors are mango, guayaba (which is guava in english, not to be confused with guanabana) and tamarindo. Give them a try but be sure to cool and shake them enough. If you don't you'll get all the solid fruit pulp at the end in your last slip.
Trust me, they are not bad.
And regarding the company (la cooperativa de trabajadores Pascual) they are a special case in the mexican industry because it's considered as the only business owned by the workers themselves. Don't know for sure but that's why they are recognized.
You made the first mistake of strawberry flavored mexican drinks. I learned this as a kid. Never drink unless it's ice cold.
The thing with the 100% natural pulp is merely a trick. Here we go:
De Pulpa 100% Natural. Means that the pulp is 100% natural, but it is written in such a sneaky way to convey the thought that the juice is composed in its entirety of natural pulp.
From 100% Natural Pulp. Same thing here, they mean to say "this juice is made from pulp that is 100% natural (isn't all pulp like this?)".
And last. I might be wrong at this story, I've heard it over the years, but I think the owners of boing, used to, or still make a juice called Pascual Boing, which depicted Donald Duck on the label. Apparently at some point Disney caught up, but the thing is, if I remember well, that Pascual Boing won the copyright trial, and was free to use the image on their bottles.
In old comics the translation for Donald Duck was Pato Pascual.
Just a sidenote.

with a lot of respect, how can you american people (and i dont know why you are called americans if america is a continent not a country) say that boing it's no as good as they say only for the labeling thing you probably do not know that your rotten meat is sent to mexico you probably dont know t that usa is the reason of sufferin al around the world instead of preeching of the labeling of boing preech for the war your country did in vietnam in irak in korea in afghanistan for trainning killers in el salvador during the guerilla for killing your own president kennedy four throwing nuclear bombs in hiroshima and nagasaki and killing 160 000 innocent people civilians children not even militaries think why you are hated all over the world you imperialist country since 1800's you started with your stupid monroe doctrin and began to make the world suffer , you invented the ku klux klan you are the country with more neonazis in the 60's you expressed how much hate you have for the black people gobernator swarzzeneger shows day by day he hates latin people. change... please...you're the perdition society your kids kill people in the schools like in columbine you have to do something please invert your time in something more helpful for people than the labeling of boing. god bless america....

You are so stupid.
look i don't speak english well, but is clearly understandable that the bottle says "100 per cent natural pulp" not 100 percent pulp, then the ingredients part says 16 percent pulp of all the product is pulp.
do we third world countries need to teach you how to read?

another thing, of course it tastes like strawberry, the thing is you have always tried trnasgenic strowberries in USA, so, news for you, that's the way real strawberry tastes.
Of course it has "colores artificiales", because without it the beberage could never enter in a globalized market, they have to be competitive, coca cola uses more damaging artificial flavors , colors and cafeine.
Cooperativa Pascual it's a good option in the fair market, because the workers own the company, and they have to fight for a place in the market with international companies like coca cola, pepsi cola, shweppes, etc.
Don't make bad publicity of something you don't understand 100%. You better try it cold, and squezze the bottle you'll see it is no that bad.
