Pear is the Flavor of all things Fruity!

I have always thought that pears tasted great. Until now I did not realize that it may be because most things fruity have pear as their main ingredient.
For instance I am currently drinking grape juice. The first ingredient is water and the second is pear juice, the third is grape juice. So shouldn't it be called pear juice? Instead it is called Grape Medley with a picture of red and green grapes on it.
Second example Fruit Roll-ups. I have read the ingredients on at least ten Fruit Roll-ups packages and the only fruit and the first ingredient is pears from concentrate.

Has anyone else noticed this. I wonder how many flavors we have identified in our lives that are actually made up other things instead of the one thing we thought we had been eating.

  5. I hate it when they add pear juice. It makes it so that they have to add about a hundred other things that are eventually going to kill us all in orde to make it taste good again.

  6. They like to add apple juice to everything, too. I think its because they are the cheaper fruit juices.
