Fresh Orange Juice

Oh yeah!!

 

[bobdole369]

No way you get that in the UK.

We do.

 

[zinfamous]

are they Valencia oranges?

You guys get blood oranges, right?

blood oranges = yum yum.

 

[ViviTheMage]

Valencia or buuuuuuuuuuuuust

I don't know the difference.

Thus the OJ you get isn't very fresh.

This is fresh OJ:

1. Climb out of car.
2. Saunter over to orange grove.
3. Grab handfuls of ripe delicious oranges right off the tree.
4. In the car, use pocketknife to cut into oranges.
5. Squeeze them directly into mouth.
6. Look at wife crazily with OJ smeared face. (car is filled with the scent of ripe oranges, there is nothing like it)

Oh an 7. Run from mexican orange pickers and shotgun wielding farmers.

Possibly the single redeeming value about living in America's Wang.

Yep. when you order fresh orange somewhere in your country they all pop out to the orange grove out back...?

Pretty much. Acutally if you buy it or oranges in the grocery - they come from California.

Used to have several trees in my backyard. All the good restaurants have relationships with the orange people. (They are actually fairly dark brown).

Brilliant. That doesn't mean that the orange has to have just been pulled off the tree to make fresh orange juice.

It all depends on your definitions. Is 8 week old oranges - which are freshly squozen "fresh" to you? A lot of people think so. I'm not a lot of people though. I would consider eating aged beef just because I know its better, though one of these days I'm gonna go get in one of those hunting clubs where you pet the deer or pig or cow or whatever and they kill it that night to serve.

Don't you watch TV? Inside every carton of orange juice is a team of pickers and squeezers working right from the grove to deliver mind numbing freshness!

Nothing like a dank California orange.

Or dank California bud.

I prefer both in one sitting!

You guys get to grow it outdoors. We gotta put up with houses repurposed for that. On the sly. All covert (as if the $1500/month electric bill isn't a tell).

 

[Genx87]

If you want a brand that tastes like it is fresh out of the grove. Buy "Simply Orange". Christ I grabbed some a month ago because it was on sale. I cant get enough of it!

The same occurs where I am...I wish I were in Kah-lee-for-nee-uh. The bud I get is close enough. Not CA grade, but good enough for me.

Not unless you guys are lying to me, I buy Florida's Natural Grove Stand.

Yup, for pretty much a nationwide brand - this is the closest you'll get in say - Montana.

There is a brand that sells OJ here that you can see the bottom inch or so of the carton is pulp and goodness once it settles.

Pair that with the coupons floating around on the internet and you can't lose!

It was funny. GF and I sat down for breakfast and both took a drink of it and looked at each other and said "This is the best OJ out of a bottle I have ever tasted" lol

So we start telling people about it and everybody drinks it. Which adds to the funny part. No idea about this stuff until a month ago. We were both clueless.

 

[Saint Nick]

Simply Orange is simply delicious...I must agree. I easily go through a gallon a week.

I do like doles orange and pineapple juice the best around here and have had fresh squeezed when I visited family down in Florida, Grandparents used to have a bunch of orange trees when they were alive and it was awesome picking and then squeezing them right away.

Sadly I don't think they would grow that well here in Wisconsin.

I have a 21 year old potted key lime tree doing just fine here in Virginia. It lives in my garage from around the end of October through April, outside the rest of the year.
