If you didn't like the new Tropicana package
You won!
Strong consumer feedback has forced Tropicana to revert to the former packaging.
Complaints called the packaging 'generic looking'.
I have to agree, I hated it!

Re: If you didn't like the new Tropicana package
YAY!
The funny thing is, Stop and Shop came out with a new generic, Sunrise Valley...it looked like the old Tropicana! I wonder if they got a spike in business from people who weren't paying attention.

Re: If you didn't like the new Tropicana package
Erin liked it. I bought Minute Maid Light lemonade and Tropicana Light lemonade in 2 liter bottles for Rain Man to taste-test, and Erin picked the Tropicana bottle out every time. She was not influenced by anything but packaging since she can't read and didn't even try the other kind.

Re: If you didn't like the new Tropicana package
Let me guess, though....the new and improved Easy Pour (TM) bottle, which is easier to pour because it's 7 ounces lighter, isn't going away, is it?

Dawn dish detergent is the latest culprit altering its bottles to offer you less for the same price. The new bottles just started coming in this week.....Jeemie wrote:Let me guess, though....the new and improved Easy Pour (TM) bottle, which is easier to pour because it's 7 ounces lighter, isn't going away, is it?

I buy Dawn in the Hernia Jug size. I almost won't complain if it's easier to fill the sink dispenser with the new design...

It's that 70's-style sunburst design, just like the oj.

My store having old stuff is not a surprise, I often have to alert them to expired stuff on the shelves and if I need a lot of produce, I sometimes have to go somewhere else because it's gross. I've been known to abandon a half full cart because of it.

I just did a search for "croutons" on this Bored, and in a year and a half, there's only one post that uses the word croutons that doesn't have maggotty in front of it....
I don't know if that's sadder than the fact that i looked it up though......

Re: If you didn't like the new Tropicana package
I'm surprised because I bought it at the local Farm (not) Fresh where I've had issues with expired food before. But the store was on the right-hand side of the road when I was coming home from Rain Man's school, so I stopped there rather than crossing the street to my preferred store...sunflower wrote:Really?

Croutons have lots of calories. If you're trying to be healthy by eating a salad, it's best to avoid them.littlebeast13 wrote: I just did a search for "croutons" on this Bored, and in a year and a half, there's only one post that uses the word croutons that doesn't have maggotty in front of it....

Obviously, you wouldn't be eating a salad, beast, so that's a generic "you".

I don't understand why I didn't have a nasty food MM to go with those classics of yours and Troll's. I think I always drug out Glowing Potato when they were invoked. Now that I have one, I expect to see my other friends waiting at the gate to be let in anytime now......

Re: If you didn't like the new Tropicana package
For some reason, Minute Maid is much less expensive than Tropicana around here and just as good. Sometimes Minute Maid is even less than the Kroger house brand. Anyway, I won't be buying Tropicana no matter what the packaging is.

I think Minute Maid is from concentrate.
