Jimmy Kimmel's crew set up a booth for a fake juice company at the historic Farmer's Market off of 3rd and Fairfax in Los Angeles. Kimmel made up his own line of juice, dubbed "juce," and produced its debut flavor ("Soul") with the finest and healthiest ingredients he could find: Fun Dip and water. He also created "Cure," which was nothing but Tang powdered juice; "Rainbow," a.k.a. Skittles blended together; and "Detox," which was just melted popsicles.

    "Like a deep breath, you know, it just feels refreshing,"
    "It's not particularly sour, so I wouldn't really call it tangy, it's a little bit more muted than tangy, but definitely very light, very summer,"
    "I could go for a jog right now, I feel great,"
