      “The only healthy beverage that can be safely taken after cycling or other exercise”? That takes some nerve! “All other beverages — even *water* — will *debilitate or kill you!”*

      I wonder if mustiness was a common problem in bottled fruit juices at the time. That claim is the most prominent bit of text in the entire ad.
