It was time for somebody to step up and make a once-and-for-all determination of which juice... POM Wonderful pomegranite or Cheribundi cherry juice is better. Strap in for the Jack Sh*t Pom/Cheribundi Challenge...
Let's start with POM. This cute little bottle contains 8 oz of 100% pomegranate juice. Of the 160 calories, 136 are from sugar. The 34 grams of sugar per serving amount to over 8 teaspoons! It does feature plenty of antioxidants, which makes it remarkably similar to every other type of fruit juice on the planet. But the bottle's cute!
Cherribundi is a completely different story. An 8-oz. bottle has 130 - 160 calories and 27 grams of sugar, but is high in antioxidants. Okay... so it's the same story pretty much. One version, "Whey Cherry" has more protein which they accomplished by adding a secret ingredient.**Protein
But which one is actually better? There's only one way to find out...
A double-blind taste test (I have a blindfold AND my eyes are closed).
Okay so there's a couple of problems with the "double-blind" test scenario...
But nothing an intelligent guy like me can't deal with.
Blindfolded, my other senses become hyper-sharp to compensate. For example, I can tell from listening that liquid is being poured into a glass.
Mmmmm... pomegranatey.
This one sounds similar, but slightly different.
This reminds me of that time I ate some cherries.
A little tarter than the POM... I mean, the first sample that I sampled.
You know what would be good with this one?
I'm a super-jenious!
I've just invented a brand new, never been discovered juice blend.
No, waitaminute... I've had this before...
Must test theory...
Holy sh*t! I was right... I invented wine.
I think I'm onto something with this mixing business though...
Perhaps a tiny amount of vodka...
Slurp.
Dayum!
Let's expand on this theory...
A smidge of POM...
A few drops of Cherribundi for tartness.
Okay, well now I've forgotten what I was doing here, so I guess I'll just declare this contest a draw and move on.Full disclosure: POM and Cherribundi provided free samples of their products for "review" purposes. The Sky Vodka was provided for free via "shoplifting" and the Smirnoff was "borrowed" from my next-door neighbor whose house I'm "watching" this weekend.
LOL! Hilarious:D
ReplyDeleteBrilliant!
ReplyDeleteAnd Anita gets to try to get the juice out of your shirt???
ReplyDeleteThat was awesome! :-)
Jack, tell the truth... you kept on drinking long after you turned the camera off, right? Or should we ask how much you drank before you started the picture taking? Either way, awesome stuff Jack!
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteI started worrying about the white shirt in the first picture LOL....
ReplyDeleteI would choose the Cheribundi based solely on the cool sounding name, but your Cheribunditini looks even cooler.
BTW are these people crazy sending a weight loss blogger JUICE!?! Is there anyone on the planet who drinks juice regularly and loses weight?
Classic Sh*t right there! Love it!
ReplyDeleteToo funny...... Who is cleaning that shirt?
ReplyDeleteso.damn.clever
ReplyDeleteToo Funny. That's my kind of review!
ReplyDeleteMaria
my favorite, hands down, and that is not easy to say!
ReplyDeletelove it Jack
Hilarious!!
ReplyDeleteThat was the high point of my day thus far! And I'm glad I don't do your laundry! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteYou had me bursting out laughing at work this post! Hilarious! I think you need more taste test challenges!
ReplyDeleteOh, my, hilarious! I know I always say I'm "LOL"ing at things on the internetland, but MAN! This time for real. Should have taken video of myself for proof. Thank you for starting my day off with a laugh.
ReplyDeleteStill laughing...
LMFAO love this post Jack!
ReplyDeleteBrotha you need your own TV show.
ReplyDeleteOh, my. Beat my cheribundi post hands down.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! What a great way to start my morning. Thanks for the laugh. :D
ReplyDeleteHAHHA you invented wine!!! love it! I dont want to drink my fruit...so I avoid juices. I was interested to read what you had to say, and as usual ended up laughing out loud!
ReplyDeleteHil*ar*i*ous!!!!! (Hope you get that red juice out of that white shirt...
ReplyDeleteBwhahaha! Everything's better with vodka in it.
ReplyDeleteThis was great! I couldn't stop laughing.
ReplyDeleteHighlarious
ReplyDeleteBy far, one of my favorite posts ever.
ReplyDeleteReally funny!
ReplyDeleteWhat do you call these photo posts? A phlog?
HAHA! Loved the review! Oh and by the way I'm not washing that shirt!
ReplyDeleteLoved the review. I got my Pom yesterday - they sent me coupons... :)
ReplyDeleteLike the shirt - have fun getting that out!
Best post ever. I laughed way too hard for my own good!
ReplyDeleteI do not think people realize how good that post was...
ReplyDeleteYou had to answer and stay in contact with two PR people who love their product. You had to give your address and tell them you would do a review of their product.
Not only that, but you took their product and talked about the sugar in it. When I spoke to the POM person and told her there was too much sugar in her beverage, she never answered again. The Cheribundi person went straight to my spam mailbox.
Bravo.....bravo.
LOVE THIS!!!! What a hoot!
ReplyDelete(I was so wondering when you were going to add vodka.)
Awesome post!
ReplyDeletepure awesomeness!!!!
ReplyDeleteMorning joys!
ReplyDeleteI'm watching this, laughing like a fool, and all the while thinking, "How the hell is his wife going to get that juice out of that white shirt?" I think I have a problem.
ReplyDeleteI suggest going with neither juice and instead trying Simply (insert fruit name here). I drink the cranberry (but they also make pomegranate and cherry) and love it. I don't drink it straight (don't think I'd ever unpucker), but add a splash (read: 1oz) to a glass of water. It's usually with the organic stuff.
I leave your posts for later in the day the hours I have cravings so I'll have something that'll definitely make me laugh!! I might be sober but I think I'm smart! Duh!
ReplyDeleteROFLMAO!!!! You soooooo make my day...everyday:)
ReplyDeleteThe world needs more product reviews like this one! Very entertaining!

Funniest product review I've ever seen. Thanks for the laughs!
ReplyDeleteI love it! I can't imagine you've changed much since you were five years old, your poor mother, how did she survive! Keeep 'em coming! Terrific post, espcially love the shirt! :)
ReplyDeleteI just did the equivalent of 1000 sit-ups by laught so hard at your product review. Gott run out and get me some red juice & vodka!
ReplyDelete...and the whole time - while I was laughing - I was thinking *he ruined a good shirt for a blog post?* Sad, but true. I need help.
ReplyDeleteI almost friggin fell off my chair laughing!!! OK, I did & maybe some snorting noises as well! Good thing hubby was not home!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are too funny & too damn talented! Write a TV show I can watch! I do stretch & do abs to the TV a lot! :-)
Great post! Thanks for making me laugh!
ReplyDeleteHAHAHHAAHAH - you are so funny! LOVE LOVE LOVE this post! P.S. i don't like pomegranate. Or cherries.
ReplyDeleteThat was great jack. I like ketel one with my POM lol. Never had cheribundi but might have to try that mix sometime, hmmm, nah I'll stick with my vodka and crystal light pink lemonade less calories lol.
ReplyDeleteYea, you sure did a number on that shirt. Hopefully you borrowed that from the neighbor too lol.
You are so funny, Jack. That was great!
ReplyDeleteThat was great! I like POM better. I'd drink it a lot, which wouldn't be that good considering all the sugar...but luckily it's like, 4 bucks for a small bottle, so I can't get it that often. Next time I will have to try it with a little vodka though.
ReplyDeleteFunny! But now you'll have the laundry detergent people sending you samples to review!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever commented on your blog before but I had to tell you this was hysterical! I also noted you poured my favorite wine. I admit to a great fondness for red wine, but can skip the sugary juices. It's important to choose your calories carefully, so considering red wine vs. sugary juice - the wine wins every time.
ReplyDeleteit's only good when it's in a foo-foo "martini" type drink.
ReplyDeleteThis was so funny. You really make me laugh.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen cherry juice around, but I think I would love to try it.
LMAO! You had me rolling with this one. Loved it!! I so needed a good laugh and you made my day! Thank you. :)
ReplyDeleteEx-squeeze meee. But did anyone wonder about the beer glass? I think you need to redo the test and make sure the beer gets a chance to hop(s) in. Or had you drunk the beer before the test????......... hmm could explain a lot.
ReplyDeleteWell done!
ReplyDeleteSo glad I stumbled across your HILARIOUS blog I needed this today! thanks for the laugh!
ReplyDeleteYou crack me up.
ReplyDeleteOMG! That made me laugh out loud! I almost snorted my water out of my nose! Good job Jack!
ReplyDeleteYou were giggling inside, weren't you?
ReplyDeleteI can't even imagine where all this nutty energy was directed prior to blogging. :D
You have the poutiest lower lip I think I've ever seen. angelina's got nothing on you.
At first glance I thought this was a PORN challenge and I was all what the HECK is Jack up to?
ReplyDeleteI admit I was a little disappointed at the POM instead but still, I laughed, I sneezed (I have a cold) and I laughed some more.
just. too funny.
ReplyDeletestill laughing...
and still now..
...still!
When is the Skyy Vodka vs. Grey Goose challenge (and I'd like to be a guest judge, please)?
ReplyDeleteLOL that was awesome! :)
ReplyDeleteMost awesome thing ever.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love wine. And vodka. Now I want some. :)
loved this!
ReplyDeletedo you need any more POM to test? I'm feeling pretty guilty about all those bottles they sent me just sitting in my refrigerator. Turns out I dont drink juice.
Hi Jack. Really LOLing at this one :D
