    This is what they call a conundrum isn't it? I think it is heartless and cruel of you to take advantage of us like this knowing full well we are none of us too bright.
    But you're right, it is a bit of a puzzle.

    They rehydrate the prunes, and then squeeze the juice back out.  (really)

    Then why not just eat the plums?

    Wherever it comes from, I enjoy drinking it.
    And I enjoy prunes much more than plums. I was a strange kid - -  I've always enjoyed prunes even as a little kid. (Somehow, to me, at least, prunes seem to be an adult-nature-type of fruit, as in, adults eat them, not children, but I've always liked them.)

    :)

    The plums are rehydrates and then the juice is taken from them.  

    BUT!!!!!  Prune juice smells like prunes smell.  Why aren't rehydrated prunes, plums again.
