Florida's Natural, Gold Peak, Good & Gather, Great Value, Kroger, Milo's, Naked, Simple Truth and SunnyD are absent. The models place them at no position at all. Minute Maid appears one time, below seventh place. A brand that never appears is not a brand ranked low. The models do not carry these names for healthier beverage questions.
