The Take
Martinelli's earns a 47 Slop Score. It is literally one ingredient apple juice sold at a premium for the bottle.
Buyers chase the glass and nostalgia flex while ignoring the concentrated sugar hit and missing fiber that whole fruit delivers.
The Verdict
Skip the bottle entirely. Martinelli's is apple juice dressed up for Instagram, not nutrition.
Whole apples or local raw cider give fiber and cut the markup. Slop Score 47.
