Orange Juice

Yes today was shopping day, as mentioned yesterday......

When I was growing up in the '40s any orange juice you drank
was fresh squeezed.....Your bought fresh 'juice oranges', cut
them in half and squashed them down on an 'orange
squeezer'.......A simple type of 'bowl' with a serrated hump
in the middle.....Pressing the 1/2 of orange on top of the hump
and rotating you hand back and forth removed the juice from
the orange.....These little squeezers are still available, today,
made in plastic at the Dollar Store.......Sixty years ago they
were made of heavy glass......(I know, there was also the more
expensive 'lever' type of squeezer.).....

Post WWII, we got Minute Maid in a carton, in the dairy aisle.....
Then came frozen concentrate, then Tropicana......Many more
brands are now available.....But what is getting me is the fact
that now we have too many styles of orange juice.....

Original, Some Pulp, Heavy Pulp, Lite, With Calcium and
Some Pulp With Calcium or Lite With Calcium.........
Does anyone, currently on this earth, know what TRUE
orange juice tastes like anymore?......Has anyone seen a
bag of 'juice oranges' on sale lately?......Pumps......
