Sting says that as well, although he will drink Florida Natural when I bring it home and tell him I saved $1 per carton by buying it on sale.sunflower wrote:I've tried them all and Tropicana just tastes better to me.

Maybe because I drank so much of it as a kid, I prefer the stuff that's from concentrate. Mom always bought the frozen concentrate cans and added water.peacock2121 wrote:I think Minute Maid is from concentrate.

We always had the Grand Union frozen orange juice. Sometimes those cans got stuck in the frozen frost in the freezer. When I got the job of defrosting it, if I didn't stay ahead of the melt, I got gooey orange juice stuff I had to clean up as well.SportsFan68 wrote:Maybe because I drank so much of it as a kid, I prefer the stuff that's from concentrate.
