What is Sparkling Apple Juice?
- Sparkling apple juice and cider are fizzy, fun-filled versions of noncarbonated apple juice and its cider cousin. You ́ll find these naturally sweet, nonalcoholic drinks in your grocery store's juice aisle. Other fruit flavors are sometimes added to the apple, including cranberry, grape, pear, and pomegranate.

THYME for a Laugh
I was going to take a class to learn how to make apple juice.
But it got canceled due to a pressing issue.
Lettuce Joke Around
I can't use my laptop anymore because someone spilled apple juice on it.
It was a cider attack!
