I bought Mike's Pink lemonade last week, and when I got home didn't find a Hasgacha. I googled the drink, and saw that there are no non-kosher ingredients; however, there is no explicit hechser. Does anyone know anything about this?

It looks really good.

I just read that.

Here is a quote from their website: "Although mike's® products do not contain any inherently non-kosher ingredients such as animal derivatives or grape juice, they are not certified as kosher."

I also really wanted to try it at one point but I could not find someone to explicitly tell me I can.
 If you want something similiar, try twisted tea, its also very good

Do any of the food places in TLV Terminal 3 have a decent hechsher? Long story but I'm stuck here a while and I'm starved...

Is that the main terminal? If so, yes. Aroma does.

I was just at the Union Square Greenmarket and came across "Bread Alone"

They had some prepackaged sliced breads with the Kof-K symbol, but they also had a large selection of unpackaged loaves behind the glass.

This is their certification: http://breadalone.com/sites/default/files/Kosher_Certificate_MGCBY-PXV2T.PDF

Does this mean that the breads listed are Kosher if this paper is displayed, or only the prepackaged loaves?
