Florida is one of the most dumbass republican states that has been going after trans and gay rights for years.

Not drinking juice is worth it.

Oasis with brazilian oranges :)

Ty. I didn't know that Oasis used oranges from Brasil. I'll probably switch over to them.

I don't know if it's new but it was clearly advetised at my grocery store. And it's a canadian company :)

I thought I didn't like orange juice. Then I tried orange juice while I was in Portugal. Turns out I just don't like American orange juice.

Florida orange crop has been fucked for a while because of the green blight. But it's never been comparable to fresh squeezed orange juice.

Nobody wants their orange stuff.

I can’t remember the last time I bought orange juice. It never tastes like oranges.

BeardedBlaze@lemmy.world · -1 pts · 352d

I used to think the same. Until I tried the fresh squeezed OJ @ Sam's Club.

I admit I get non-american oranges to squeeze for juice... Only for occasional cocktail, I'm diabetic! I mean, it is pretty tasty stuff! lol

thehowlingnorth@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 352d

Tastes like spray tan anyway.

villasv@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 351d (1 reply)

It tastes bad anyway. It's really hard to find decent OJ, never had a decent one from USA's oranges so either their oranges suck or they mess it up trying in increase shelf life

Oasis OJ is pretty decent. Their oranges are probably still American apparently Brazilian, and they're Canadian owned and produced. I don't usually like mango juice but their exotic mango is excellent mixed with a bit of soda water.

Orange juice was invested and marketed by growers to sell oranges waste. It's dumpster fruit.
