Minute Maid has announced that they will no longer be selling frozen
juice concentrate. I can't say it will make a big difference in my life because I can't handle citrus juices. I bought a small jug of orange
juice about a year ago and it took me about three weeks to use it up. I
had been noticing that there seemed to be less and less freezer shelf
space dedicated to frozen juices and more and more cooler shelf space
for jugs of reconstituted and allegedly fresh juice.
Living so far from orange producing regions the only real option for
orange juice when I was a kid was frozen.

OJ was a breakfast staple for many people. We used to have it but have
not bought any for many years. I do, however, eat an orange probably 5
or 6 days a week.

These days having OJ often is considered unhealthy because a glass is
the juice and therefore the sugar of 3-4 oranges. If you have a glass
of OJ with every breakfast, that's 21 to 28 oranges per week.

Frozen orange juice was a staple in our house for years. I drank lots of
it because it not only tasted good, it was supposed to be good for you.
I also ate a lot of oranges. I spent most of my you dealing with stomach cramps. It turned out to be caused by the oranges. Grapefruit is at

taste.ÿ Curiously, artificial orange has been as bad.

That's the way it was at our house when I was a kid. It took a while for OJ in a
bottle to reach Hawaii. Mixing up frozen orange juice was one of my duties as a
kid. Since I left home in the mid-seventies, it never occurred to me to buy/drink
orange juice. I have bought bottles of Sunny Delight orange drink fluid - but not
recently.

I can't see what the fuss is all about. Orange juice is mostly sugar and water.
Sunny D have more of an intense flavor than orange juice which seems kind of flat

I vaguely recall some very old recipes from the 60's or 70's and it was
some sort of cake, Bundt maybe, where a can of lemon or orange juice was
used to produce some sort of glaze. And some punch drinks at wedding and baby showers were made using can of either as the base. Do those ring a

Not OJ. But I have this recipe:
Rum Slush
1 quart cranberry juice cocktail
6 oz frozen lemonade
6 oz frozen limeade
12 oz rum
Freeze all together. Mix with 7up/Sprite in glass
There was another one I got from one of the members of the Catholic
choir I sang with in the mid-late 1970s, but I never saved a copy.
That stuff was wicked. It might have had frozen OJ in it.
I would have placed the rise of the Bundt cake more in the early to mid
70s when they were suddenly the rage and everyone was buying Bundt pans
and making the cakes. My favourite was the Sherry Cake and the next best
was the 7-Up cake. The latter used about half a can of 7-Up for some of
