100% real orange Juice

[cliftonite]

I see all the orange juice's that are all 100% natural and the ingredients state that it is 100% juice. They do not list any other ingredients such as water. Are these bottles actually full of oranges? How many oranges does it take to make one of those 96 ounces bottles? I am asking because it does not seem logical that they can fill up all those bottles with real oranges and make a profit. Please post your opinion on the topic

juice != oranges
therefore i have just debunked your whole argument

100% natural- Nothing that doesn't exist in nature
100% juice- All liquid
Orange- A color

Is the liquid not 100% liquid and 100% orange in color?

Care to elaborate? I am arguing with my roommates that an entire 96 ounce bottle of orange juice can not be made of real juice. At home i remember it taking about 5 to 8 oranges (depending on the type) to squeeze a glass of OJ. Now even if they had the BEST oranges, would it make economical sense to fill it up the entire 96 ounce bottle with juice? I did not think so, but 2 of my roommates are saying that they can prolly buy oranges by the hundred (per dollar) and that it is all 100% juice.

It is indeed 100% real. You can taste the difference. And then I usually get heartburn or an acid ruflux attack. So I don't drink OJ too often.

or how about, "see this bottle of OJ? It contains juice of the 300 oranges you picked today and we're gonna sell it for $1.50 or 50 times what you just made by picking those 300 oranges."

Are you saying that the 100% Florida or Tropicana orange juice is all liquid with an orange coloring? Do you have any proof to back this up?

it is all 100% juice. they get their oranges in bulk so it's pretty cheap. remember too that they usually grind up the entire orange to make juice, not just the insides.

Yes. Look at the bottle of juice.

Is the juice not a liquid?
Is it not orange?

Yes, but do you think that they water it down a little or add anything else that would increase the volume of the juice that they can make.

I think that they have to mention "from concentrate" to do that.

Probably tastes better with 50% orange juice and 50% vodka.

I don't know, I was just trying to make a joke which obviously failed terribly.



It's probably just all of the crappy oranges that are too bad to sell out right. Then they sell the pulp and other stuff to make other products.

They do it with grapes to make grapeseed oil, I'm sure they do it with oranges too.

- Instead of discarding the peel, seeds and pulp, Tropicana converts these components into cattle feed pellets.

- Tropicana generates its own electricity and steam, so the company is almost self-sufficient in terms of energy.

- The famous orange Tropicana Train carries the company's products to the Northeast five days a week.

-- I heard that california oranges are colored to be more appealing because they are not bright orange when they are picked.

Has anybody pointed out that orange juice, no pulp, is around 90% water?
