Michelle Obama surprised crowds at Costco when she was spotted giving a sales pitch for her new healthy drink, Plezi Fizz, at a Costco in Livermore, CA.

A TikTok video posted on Tuesday showed the former first lady standing in front of a stockpile of the drinks that were launched in March.

Have you tried her new drink? I have never even heard of it.

Wonder when MT (married to orange felon who is still trying to run for president) come out with hers? She seems to want to do whatever MO does. Eww.

A mom raised in Europe would rather jump into a live volcano than feed her child ultra processed food/drink. They don’t have that kind of chemical slop in Europe.

It’s obvious you haven’t been to Europe in a very long time.

I grew up in Europe and go there twice a year. We don't geed our kids junk (yes, most of American yogurts is junk) and our kids don't drink anything but tea and water. Michele's drink is junk.

I guess that depends on how you define junk, but people throughout most of the world let kids have treats that are just tasty, not substantial sources of nutrients.

I don't think other parts of the world are as committed to producing unnecessary new products to replace older unnecessary products because the new thing is supposedly better for you. I mean, maybe it is, marginally. But no one needs this.

Monkfruit and water does not meet what nutritional standard?

Tea and water. Yeah, this is going to come up in family counseling later in your life.

This is awful.

She who campaigned for healthy food is dumping this on our kids.

Any day eating fruit >>>>> drinking the juice.

She is reverting to her low class upbringing. I cannot find any other explanation for this.

She has sold herself short. Expected great things from her.

This is ridiculous Fox News level distortionary nitpicking.

The Obama USDA standards limited juice to "100% juice with no added sweeteners", to ban juices that over sweeten with concentrates and sugar syrup.

Plezi has 50-75% LESS sugar than 100% juice.

The former First Lady's campaigning to improve the health of American children resulted in updated guidelines for school meals and drinks that limit the permitted types to milk, water, or 100 percent juice in 2014.

While plexi contains no added sugar, the juice content is almost exclusively from concentrate, which typically contains less nutritional value than whole fruit juice. That’s why they had to add corn fiber.


Jerold Mande, an adjunct professor of nutrition at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and CEO of Nourish Science, a nonprofit focused on nutrition, told Bloomberg: 'She has been ill-served by advisers who convinced her to start by targeting 6- to 12-year-olds with a flashy, ultra-processed beverage that may not be any healthier than diet soda.'

I really thought she was better than this. Sigh.

Plus one million.
Jeez what a disappointment.

Pathetic.

I am quite angry at her for doing this after all the talk in the White House. Trashy.

What’s funny is that more than half the comments here seriously discuss the nutritional content rather than just admitting this is incredibly tacky. Had this been MT, you all would have reacted very differently.

Exactly, it’s both.

Tacky, trashy, low class.

To be fair, she wasn't making bank on that as she is on this.

Of course…when it’s time to make money, standards? Huh? Oh, you mean my money? That’s the standard.

No current or former American politician or family member of an American politician is doing anything known to the public without there being a price tag involved in some shape or form. It's all they know. I love the Obamas and wish them success in any of their endeavors.

Shilling apple juice flavored with genetically modified fruit concentrate and genetically modified corn fiber and calling it healthy while talking about her role as FLOTUS and nutrition and health programs during the Obama administration is not something I ever expected to see Michelle doing.

+1. Not a good look.

I still love her though.

There's nothing inherently "unhealthy" about genetically modified food crops. The mere fact of genetic modification doesn't make things unhealthy and in fact can make foods even more nutritious than they were previously.

Nor is fiber unhealthy - many people don't get anywhere near enough fiber in their diet.

So many of the comments on this thread reveal your ignorance.

You're probably the same kinds of people who think American cheese is "plastic" and "fake chemicals" when in fact it's normal cheese that had some sodium citrate (which is a naturally occurring salt of citric acid found in citrus fruits) added to it to make it smoother.

You people know absolutely nothing about food or nutrition or health or chemistry. And don't @ me because it's a fact.

Eat the fruit. No child needs this crap.
