Why would you buy a 42 ounce drink at a store where you can refill you 12 ounce cup as many times as you like? I'll take "diet". I have a question.

Robert, I appreciate the different perspective. You make a very valid point. In general, however, I agree with Nibbles that "more is more" seems to be the general direction. Just wait for a video we're posting today on the general trend...oh boy... Excellent conversation, all. Robert, I appreciate the different perspective. You make a very valid point.

While in the case of Jamba Juice, things like wheatgrass shots are a nutritional supplement, Their seems to be no additives in this supplement. However, their is sugar and starches added in the shakes. It seems that the “direction” these shakes and malteds are heading in is more = better.

If they ever have one named HUGO- We better all leave the country till it's over with...L.O.L.

Is the Hugo, similar to the family size Yugo, a.k.a. the WEGO? Younger readers need not apply. On a side note….

Jamba Juice does offer a Jamba Light, made with Splenda, and an All Fruit Version (Fruit and Juice), which equates to FIVE servings of Fruit at one time (24 oz size of "Strawberry Whirl" contains 76g Carbs, however); the question remains are these better alternatives than fresh fruit, water, and/or a Protein Smoothie?

While some smoothies like chocolate moo'd at Jamba Juice can carry a lot of calories, both places have smoothies in the 200-300 calorie range. Read a good nutrition book, there are tons out there but most do not get read because they are too in-depth and people just want the fad diet books. Also, most smoothies have far fewer than 160 grams of sugar and they are not "pure sugar" even if the label says sugar. There is a BIG differnce betwen the sugar in an apple and the sugar in a Pepsi can. You can read about the differences online. Just wanted to help keep everybody informed!

“More and Bigger” isn’t definitely better.

Does hugo mean "Huge" in McLatin? If so, then you can't say McDonald's didn't warn us. So why is it really called “Hugo?” Does hugo mean “Huge” in McLatin?
