Growing up in the 90s we often had this frozen concentrate in the freezer. But I hardly ever drink juice now, and prefer to eat oranges over drinking juice.
I guess cornering the market in Frozen Concentrated Orange Juice futures will be yet another anachronism, like taping a show or dialing a phone
I need to watch this movie still. I’ve been wanting to watch it since it was brought up in a infotainment video I watched on YouTube. Now’s the perfect time to watch I guess.
What movie is that from?
Department of Agriculture strikes again lol
Not if it involves a guy in a monkey suit
Uses to use these to make a whiskey slush that would take like 3 days to freeze and during the 4th of July weekend we’d have to protect the freezer from the uncles trying to “grab just a cup” early
This is what they get for making “never from concentrate” a seal of quality
I never understood why Americans freeze this stuff? Like we have juice concentrates in the UK, be we just keep them as a liquid in a bottle or as a syrup in a little squeeze thing.
It’s a relic from another time. For a very long time it was one of the only ways to keep fresh-tasting juice for long periods. There was a time when if you wanted orange juice when it wasn’t orange juice season, you would go grab a frozen brick of the stuff out of the freezer.
That or get Tang powder or something, which is pretty far from tasting like real juice.
I’d be wary of Tang… I was hopelessly addicted to the stuff in high school and, let me say, the withdrawal was quite unpleasant.
Yah, uh… was the Tang white? Because that might not have been Tang.
Hmm
Lasts longer
Here’s a great video on why! https://youtu.be/9wSQ9Zk_9gQ
My mom bought this all the time. I have never in my life bought this stuff.
One brand is discontinuing it. Does that mean it will go away for good?
No need to panic, folks. I didn’t see the Strawberry Daiquiri concentrate mix listed as discontinued. We’re gonna be juuuuuust fiiiiiiiine.
It’s been at least 15 years since I’ve bought a can of the stuff. Too much sugar.
Shame. This stuff was a staple in college. It was a few bucks cheaper than “fresh” orange juice (which is a lot of times from concentrate itself)
I’ve not bought this in my adult life but was recently reminiscing about it and was planning on buying some. I better do it now!
Get used to this kids. The economy is shrinking faster than a Republican hard-on when they see 18 year olds with blue hair and nose rings.
I think there are many Republicans down to fuck someone with blue hair
I think it’s the 18 that’ll turn away some
Stopped buying it when they shrank the can years ago.
I’m guessing it’s because they can’t compete with store brands and other cheap competition. My family buys this stuff, and we never pay the premium for the brand name.
Aren’t store brands usually made by the same manufacturer though? I assumed if the name brand stopped producing the store brands would too.
I would think it would depend on how much of the manufacturers profit stemmed from the name brand company. It’s possible that everyone is charged the same, in which case it may not matter. But if the store brands are getting a discount for using the excess manufacturing, then yeah it’s either higher prices or the factory stops.
I don’t often have oj in the house, but I always keep one of these in the freezer in case someone gets sick or we get a craving.
CBC did an investigation on commercial OJ that basically ruined it for me.
