Answer 2

Prickly pear is a flat-leaf, fleshy cactus. In the old west, many people in the desert would cut them open to drink the juice or eat the "pulp". I have no idea about the juice being manufactured for sell, but I do know that aloe vera juice is very good for you--you can mix it with other drinks or drink alone; and it tastes surprisingly good.
