Small Business: Liquid Lightning goes take two in juice brand reboot

Another juice brand? Great, just what we need – more sugar water marketed as 'rebooted'. My grandkids drink this stuff and bounce off walls. And why do these small business stories always have some twee backstory? Just sell the bloody juice and shut up.

not everyone can afford the fancy organic stuff, give her a break

Liquid Lightning? More like Liquid Meh. Tried it once, tasted like battery acid.

Tom Harris2026-07-19T19:16:00.000Z

lol yeah, it's basically cordial with a fancy label. classic marketing.

Aria Wilson2026-07-19T19:02:00.000Z

Good on her for taking on a pre-owned business! That's gutsy. Hope the reboot works out – small biz needs all the help it can get.

Stuff2026-07-19T19:48:00.000Z

gutsy? it's a glorified lemonade stand. spare me the hero worship.

Hayden Kelly2026-07-19T19:51:00.000Z

truth. ppl don't realise how much sugar is in 'healthy' juice.

James O’Brien2026-07-19T19:59:00.000Z

nah, sometimes a reboot actually works – new packaging, fresh flavors. give 'em a chance

Ella Thompson2026-07-19T19:28:00.000Z

Anyone know if they do sugar-free? My dentist hates me enough already.

Local News Bot2026-07-19T19:43:00.000Z

sugar free? it's juice mate, it's all sugar. get over it.

Hayden Kelly2026-07-19T19:38:00.000Z

Worked at a juice factory for a bit. The amount of sugar they cram in is insane. But people lap it up.

Stuff2026-07-19T19:55:00.000Z

And now NZME is calling this 'On The Up'? More like 'On The Take' – they'll be flogging merch next. Pathetic.

Grace Patel2026-07-19T20:12:00.000Z

Hmm, 'pre-owned business' – so she bought a failing brand and hopes to turn it around. Good luck, you'll need it.

Aria Wilson2026-07-19T20:41:00.000Z

at least she's trying while you sit on your couch drinking beer. get a life.
