I can&#8217;t quite recall what they were called.  Let me think for a moment.  It&#8217;s on the tip of my tongue.  <\/p>\n<p>Oh yeah, that&#8217;s right, they were just called vitamins.<\/p>\n<p>When did vitamins A and E become antioxidants?  I thought antioxidants were scientific sounding things with names that are made up of ten or more letters, like polyphenols, flavonoids, and carotenoids.  If vitamins A and E are antioxidants, then the Skippy Peanut Butter that contains vitamin E can technically be called Skippy Peanut Butter with Antioxidants and the fortified milk I drink that has vitamin A could also be called Fortified Milk with Antioxidants.<\/p>\n<p>Those names would not only be silly, but they would also make it much harder to sing the 1980s ABC Public Service Announcement &#8220;Quickfast&#8221; by The Bod Squad.<\/p>\n<p><i>A piece of toast and one of these:<br \/>\nSome Skippy Peanut Butter with Antioxidants or a slice of cheese.<br \/>\nFortified Milk with Antioxidants or juice to wash it down.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s the fast fast quick fastest breakfast in town!<\/i><\/p>\n<p>The Raspberry Goji Jello may have antioxidants but it seems it doesn&#8217;t get them from the raspberries and goji berries, which are known to be high in a variety of antioxidants.  One of the reasons why I believe they don&#8217;t provide any antioxidants is because are both great sources of Vitamin C, but according to the Jello packaging it&#8217;s not a significant source of it.  But the more obvious reason is because, according to the ingredients list, the Jello gets its vitamin E via vitamin E acetate, while the vitamin A comes from added beta-carotene.  So it seems the raspberries and goji berries provide flavor, but no antioxidants, which is kind of deceiving.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of the Raspberry Goji Jello&#8217;s flavor, it had a sweet, pleasant taste.  I could taste the raspberry, but the Jello wasn&#8217;t at all tart.  I&#8217;m not sure what goji berries taste like so, I&#8217;m not sure if I could taste them.  But combined it created a nice flavor, with a hint of an artificial sweetener aftertaste, thanks to the aspartame and deceit in it.<\/p>\n<p>Each container of the Raspberry Goji Jello with Antioxidants is a good source of vitamins A and E, if you consider 10 percent of your daily recommended intake of them &#8220;a good source.&#8221;  It&#8217;s also fat free, sugar free and contains only 10 calories per serving &#8212; making it a guilt-free snack.  But just don&#8217;t expect it to be your main source of antioxidants.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 1 container &#8211; 10 calories, 0 grams of fat, 45 milligrams of sodium, 0 grams of carbs, 0 grams of sugar, 1 grams of protein, 10% vitamin A and 10% vitamin E.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b>  Raspberry Goji Jello with Antioxidants<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b>  $5.49<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b>  6-pack<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b>  Star Market<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 6 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b>  Sweet, pleasant flavor.
