The Record
[edit]- I'm just gonna set the record straight. C.C. Lemon does not taste like apples. --00:39, 7 July 2006 (UTC)Cookn4evar
Controversy section
[edit]The Controversy section is full of Weasel words and written in a debate style. I tried to fix it but couldn't make much sense of it. Could someone in the know add some sources and neaten it up? Ashmoo 02:17, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
- Some claim that 0% is actually the accurate percent of vitamin C the drink contains.[citation needed] This is argued because people believe that boasting about vitamin C content in "number of lemons" instead of an actual number is for publicity. These people believe that vitamin C is not present in lemons making 0% accurate.[citation needed] This is wrong as lemons do in fact contain large amounts of vitamin C,[1] and 100 milliliters of lemon juice contain approximately 50 milligrams of vitamin C.
Pending the requested sources and neating, I've cut and pasted the section here.
How can we say "the fact that it is mislabeled" unless we know this to be a fact?
And who says that lemons don't have vitamin C? Is this a 'true but controversial' fact? Like the idea that Vitamin C can prevent cancer (still believed by diehard fans of Linus Pauling)? --Uncle Ed 20:52, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
Cleaned up the first part, but the second part may have to go. Cookn4evar
- The USDA food database ([1]) entry for lemon gives a total of 30-83mg vitamin C per fruit, depending on the size of the fruit and whether or not you include the peel.
- According to a few sites selling it, the 500ml bottle of C.C. Lemon has 1400mg vitamin C. That gives an equivalent of 16-46 lemons, so to speak. I guess to get to a value of "70 lemons," they must have been using some pretty withered examples. Mahousu (talk) 13:50, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Simpsons
[edit]Does anyone know if C.C. Lemon references have appeared in any Simpsons episodes aired in the U.S.? --TruckOttr 15:58, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
I'm pretty sure they haven't, but I've kinda been slacking off in my Simpson's viewing in the past couple of years.
