ring pop

I'm looking at an artificially flavored cherry Ring Pop. The package has an illustration of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer with the Ring Pop as his nose. He looks really jolly, too, as though this is really an ad for getting totally blotto. The package also proudly exclaims, "Made with REAL FRUIT JUICE!"

If you were the type of person who cares about nutrition, chances are, you're not going to eat the Ring Pop, even if it does contain pear juice concentrate after the sugar and corn syrup (and before the Red 40). Is this perhaps a marketing ploy designed to assuage the guilt that parents might feel by feeding their children candy? Or do they actually think that the drop of juice somehow makes the Ring Pop a healthy snack?

For the record, I do not eat Ring Pops. Bad for the teeth.
