Product disclaimer
One of the more controversial aspects of passion pop is a disclaimer on the side of the bottle, warning that the drink is "Produced with the aid of milk, fish, egg & nut. Products and traces may remain." The disclaimer has recently changed to "Produced with the aid of milk, fish, egg & nut products and traces may remain." Many speculate that this is merely added as a precaution against legal proceedings, should an adverse reaction occur with one of their customers. The four items mentioned, while unlikely to all be used in the manufacture of wine, are four of the most common allergenics in food. Paradoxically, this causes many people to ignore the warning - some psychologists see this as an example of Golden Gate using NLP (specifically negation) to manipulate customers into buying their product.
