That's why they not only preferred the "heavy" syrup (aka sugar water, aka simple syrup) vs. natural jiuce. And worse, they started adding cherry extract to that, likely to add flavor to their flavorless peaches.

"Cherry extract" no doubt. I've worked in cherry processing and it's a crime against nature, they took perfectly good cherries and dumped them in vats with heavy syrup and swished them for hours, dried the cherries that now were empty husks filled with corn syrup and sugar, and presumably used the liquid from the vats as cherry extract, juice cocktails, and the like.

So gross. I have a cherry tree I planted about 7 years ago from a selling. Hoping this is finally its year to shine. It finally flowered enough to be.

I don't even like cherries and that upsets me.
