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.

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.

True. But people eat crap. Does it make sense to eat better crap? So, something like Trader Joe’s drinks made from fruit juice and sparkling water or even these drinks with a bit of fiber vs a high fructose laden soda with artificial flavors ? I’d say that it probably does, particularly if it’s replacing a frequent practice. Small changes made daily add up. I’m reasonably sure that Michelle Obama would push water and fruit over these drinks, but most people who drink sodas daily probably won’t make an abrupt switch like that.
