I'd never buy it in the pub though, mostly because it seems to be the most ludicrously overpriced of all non-alcoholic drinks and only served in pissy little glasses when everyone knows it should be consumed in LITRES straight from the carton.

Fresh squeezed is obviously the best, but it's too expensive. Yeah, Tropicana ain't cheap either, but it's one thing I won't skimp on when shopping. I've tried other 'not from concentrate' brands but nothing seems to measure up. I hope that Tropicana have ethical business practices, because if I heard bad shit about them I'd be in for a real moral dilemna...
I loved going to Florida and getting a big jug of fresh stuff for cheap (or even free with breakfast at hotels). Yummmm!
Julio, I feel for you - the OJ that you usually get at bars from the gun thingy is yucky.

BUT he insisted on pouring himself a glass and lighting up a marlboro red and going througha big contortionist redfaced bleurghhhhh routine whenever there was OJ available.
I think it was some sort of performance art thing for my benefit, looking back on it. It was pretty awesome.

The unnatural sweetness of Tropicana is really offputting. Plus it's like twice as expensive as any other juice on the shelf.
― Matt DC, Saturday, 3 January 2009 12:15 (sixteen years ago)
Re: Tropicana packaging, ostensibly they made it 'easy to pour!' but actually it's a smaller bottle with the price jacked. In fury I switched to local store brand who maintain their big jug size (hur hur) and are still cheaper.

There are many many thinks better than tropicana, however tropicana >>>>>>anything with added high fructose corn syrup, grape juice, pear juice or other things that don't belong in 'pure' juice products.
― Ed, Tuesday, 24 February 2009 13:13 (sixteen years ago)
I'm too ill to get the good stuff from the Giant Eagle.
frozen cans of juice are just about as good for a fraction of the price
or for the same price, squeeze the oranges yourself, and remind yourself that trop pure prem does not actually taste like fresh squeezed orange juice by a long chalk
― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 24 February 2009 13:18 (sixteen years ago)
innocent orange juice is not bad. Actually tastes like oranges.

tropicana pure premium is the be all end all of orange juice. although here in america, we don't use BRITISH ORANGES, so i don't know wtf you are drinking
― cutty, Tuesday, 24 February 2009 13:36 (sixteen years ago)
you have been brainwashed by their whole "reassuringly expensive" thing i'm telling you.
― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 24 February 2009 13:49 (sixteen years ago)
lakewood>>>>>tropicana
THand otm about tropicana tasting no better than the frozen stuff. I must try the frozen stuff they have at the food coop sometime soon.
― Ed, Tuesday, 24 February 2009 14:10 (sixteen years ago)
otm and I'm in the UK, you all are orange juice alts.

i hear you can make trop pure prem taste even better if you wave a magic crystal over it.

keep drinking that frozen shit man

hush there in the back

lol at switching back to the obviously superior old carton - still tastes awful tho - cutty im surprised ur so into these empty calories
― ice cr?m, Tuesday, 24 February 2009 15:52 (sixteen years ago)
i drink one glass of orange juice a day with breakfast, probably the extent of empty calories in my life

Potassium, too.
also folate. but yeah, lots o sugar, even though it's not added.

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Tuesday, 24 February 2009 21:58 (sixteen years ago)
I wouldn't be surprised - at all - if this "about-face" were entirely orchestrated by Tropicana themselves, knowing that editors will run any article that allows them to mention Twitter and Facebook.
― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 24 February 2009 22:15 (sixteen years ago)
it's a LOT of money to waste on rebranding just to turn around a month later though -- i'm kind of curious about it too because it's such a quick turn of face but when you're already #1 in your field, it's not like they needed the publicity...? are they really shitting their pants that much over florida's natural that they'd waste that kind of money on getting a day's worth of news stories?

Those caps will be used, Mr. Campbell said, for cartons of Trop 50, a variety of Tropicana with less sugar and calories that is to be introduced soon.

also, re: diet OJ, there are more calories in a serving of OJ than there is in a can of Coke.
― dan selzer, Wednesday, 25 February 2009 06:00 (sixteen years ago)
of course, one of them tastes like drinking a glass of pure sunshine, while the other tastes like day-old battery acid.
And I'm not knocking the refreshing delight that is Coca-Cola Classic.
I love soft drinks WAY to much.
― dan selzer, Wednesday, 25 February 2009 06:01 (sixteen years ago)
Ally have you seen those new cartons though?? It looks like it took maybe a week. I dunno. I'm probably giving too much credit to the their ad agency to organize something like this.
Dan I could be wrong but I was under the impression that the sugar in OJ is "better" than the sugar in Coke?

innocent orange juice is good tho...credit where it's due.
i got tropicana orange and mango recently and it was vile, the consistency is all gloopy.
― Local Garda, Wednesday, 25 February 2009 11:22 (sixteen years ago)
innocent is dope, but really expensive. it was on special a lot when they launched it, is i guess how i came to be drinking it.
― meme economist (special guest stars mark bronson), Wednesday, 25 February 2009 11:23 (sixteen years ago)
funny how that works
― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 25 February 2009 11:25 (sixteen years ago)
it's still cheaper than tropicana I thought? maybe not. yeah when launched think it was 2 for 3 quid, pretty good.
tbh i often buy innocent smoothies over and above orange juice. that purple one with acai and stuff in is unreal. the only prob is you drink the entire carton over breakfast.
― Local Garda, Wednesday, 25 February 2009 11:44 (sixteen years ago)
OJ is healthier then Coke, sure. It actually has vitamins, has no caffeine etc etc, and I suppose there are ways in which OJ's sugar is more healthy than Coke's high-fructose corn syrup (or even Coke's sugar, if you're in Mexico, Europe or just Kosher), but in the end, a calorie is a calorie is a calorie!
