Applying the common parlance and essential character tests, the article explains that products whose composition and intended use show they are fruit-based beverage preparations cannot be excluded from a statutory "fruit drink" entry merely by being labeled as "sharbat" or by regulatory nomenclature; the decisive factors are nature, composition and commercial identity.
