The Cut rather amuses me - it's a clickbait farm that tries SO hard to position itself as cool, cosmopolitan, feminist, anti-racist, woke, enlightened, zoomer-championing, progressive, whatever you want to call it....... but their NYC media provincialism shows itself so easily when they're focused on what they really care about i.e. being considered cool as defined by trends in their little circle of 50 social media accounts that they follow.

Of COURSE these people are the sort that think an 'exotic' fruit is a trend. Was anyone ever fool enough to believe otherwise??

The 'random brand' selling pomegranate juice is owned by the biggest farmer in the United States - Stewart Resnick, the founder of Wonderful who is single-handedly driving California's agricultural landscape (and water) . Lynda his wife a.k.a the "Pomegranate Queen," claimed that the POMjuice (a red heart in place of O) will "Cheat Death."
