I was one of those people who grew up with frozen orange juice in the freezer. I might still have one last can in my freezer right now.
I noticed it was gone from freezer section at my local store yesterday.
There seems to be a lot of 'mystery' about why people stopped buying it…
once again, the media just takes what the press release says and doesn't talk to anyone.
The reason?
It got expensive!
The whole point of the stuff is you could buy 5 cans for a dollar and keep it in your freezer and have orange juice for two weeks.
Now it was often at least $2 per (also noticeably smaller) can... so why bother?
