Juice that is. ;)
Apparently they have been naughty, naughty liars about what's going into their "natural" juices. I will take my business elsewhere thank you.

Is it really a shock to anyone?
How any mass produced orange juice manufacturers, amongst over kinds, can claim to be all natural and yet batch after batch tastes exactly the same is a mystery I've yet to solve. Tropicana is the first one that comes to mind. I don't know about you, but I've squeezed oranges myself to make juice. Never tasted the same, not even once. They must have special oranges that company. |

Well shock wouldn't be the right word, frustrating is more like it. This is why I'm not all that keen on organic labeling to be honest. Seems so easily faked and corrupted. Obviously the best solution is to just shop locally and really know where your food is coming from, but when I don't have the chance or time to do that, I do buy products that are as natural as I can find. Doesn't feel nice to find out you've been lied to.

to keep the juice from spoiling, tropicana de-oxygenates their juice in large batches, which can keep it from spoiling and allows the storage life to linger into the range of many months. however, removing the oxygen also removes a lot of molecules that contributes to flavour; the resulting de-oxygenated juice is very bland. in order to restore the flavour, tropicana adds in specially formulated flavour packs; these formulations are consistent across all plants all over the world, which is why all tropicana tastes the same. technically, the ingredients for the flavour packs are originally sourced from actual oranges, so the company can get away with advertising the resulting product as 100% juice. |

I know how they do it.
I was just trying to be sensationalistic. There was a local market that used to crush their own oranges and what a world of difference. You had to be the 1% to afford it, but it was well worth it. |

Ha you know as soon as I typed it I wondered if there were more. Can they grow oranges in New York? Oranges are more finicky than I thought. Hispaniola didn't have much in the way of citrus growing to my surprise. Just these tiny tiny limes and super sour oranges that were quite rare to find anyway, at least in the area I was in.

According to Microsoft (Streets & Trips) there are Orange Counties in California (Duh), Florida, Indiana, New York, North Carolina, Texas, Vermont and Virginia. Who knew?

Orange is the color of the Dutch. New York was once Nieuw Amsterdamm. Where you have a significant Dutch population "orange" is going to crop up pretty often. Cf the erstwhile "Orange Free State" in South Africa. |

Ahh, and thus the reason I like Tropicana best... I know what I'm getting. |

I was so sure this was going to be about the importance of not being photographed in the buff if you were a British prince.
Most things named Orange are named after the Principality of Orange in southwest France and Prince William of Orange. The principality was not named after the fruit, but after the Roman-Celtic settlement was founded in 36 or 35 BCE and originally named Arausio, after a Celtic water god. How Arausio came to be pronounced as Orange is beyond me.
So if it isn't a citrus growing area and it is named Orange, thank the Celtic water god. That's how the Irish flag, the dutch soccer team got their colors, and even new York City was named New Orange for a few years (1673-1691) |
