Lingonberry, more like LIEberry.

I got some Lingonberry juice from IKEA because I thought it was some exotic fruit juice that I could only otherwise find from hiking the Scandinavian Mountains.

LIES

it's cranberry juice.

well.. it's not really a lie..

The Vaccinium vitis-idaea ? often called lingonberry and also called cowberry, foxberry, mountain cranberry, csejka berry, red whortleberry, lowbush cranberry, mountain bilberry, partridgeberry, and redberry ? is a small evergreen shrub in the flowering plant family Ericaceae that bears edible fruit.

Lingonberry is another name for cranberry.

so they didn't lie... they just fooled the uneducated into thinking its something "special"

Lingonberry juice they have is OMGWTFoversweetened. It's like they squeezed a couple of berries into a can of sugar, just enough to make it liquid.
Real cranberry juice (and not the colored water sold at Costco either) is so acerbic - you have to hold on to your eyes when drinking it or they'll pop out.

On a side note, almost every juice sold in grocery stores is over sweetened. Enough with the sugar already.

Clearly they are making a great mistake by selling sweetened juices instead of juices that are physically unpleasant to drink.

Excuse me while I upgrade the local ambulances with 3-ton winches to handle the next generation of patients.

IKEA sells food and pastries as well. They have cafes in all of their stores IIRC.

Not exactly. It is a berry that resembles what we call Cranberry, but it isn't the same as what we call Cranberry.

I like unsweetened cranberry juice. It's a bit of an experience, but pretty tasty in it's own way. For sweetened, I like getting the concentrates. You can over water it, and it tastes better.

I love Lingonberry juice, I think it's great! I always grab a jug or two, plus some frozen packs of those Swedish mini meatballs for making pasta. Om nom nom

Lingonberries are similar to cranberries, but aren't cranberries. Lingonberries are smaller, but, yeah, they taste similar. Both are very similar to gooseberries, which are larger and light green. Deelish.

I love lingonberry juice but I don't think it tastes like cranberry juice
