β | The title text asserts that the rind is where all the {{w|Vitamin|vitamins}} in the fruit reside. This is a common belief of actual fruits, although it is an untrue {{w|urban legend}} for many fruits; even fruits like apples do not contain most of the {{w|fiber}} in the skin itself, but rather directly below; although when you peel an apple you remove more than just the skin, losing also some high fiber content anyway. It is absolutely absurd as in this case, though, as the "rind" of a Fruit Gusher consists mainly of sugar. This text mocks the usual sentiment that the less desirable part of a food is the part that is "better" for you. | + | The title text asserts that the rind is where all the {{w|Vitamin|vitamins}} in the fruit reside.

It is also a parody of the notion that buying a juicer, or other things like exercise equipment, will automatically make people healthier. Here it is shown that what you do with the juicer is the relevant factor. It is a little hidden joke that there is way more red than blue, pointing out how Gushers always have more red than blue. | It is also a parody of the notion that buying a juicer, or other things like exercise equipment, will automatically make people healthier.
