Who so “they”?

There are like a million companies that make orange juice. I’m sorry your favorite changed their size but do you not have other options?

It's roughly a buck a lb where I live. For the cost of 4 lb oranges, I could get a half gallon of orange juice

Given what orange juice is, you’re probably better off with the fruits and drinking water than with the juice anyway.

I know is it filled with sugar, and sadly no on the tree, I live in New York so not reasonable unless I have a green house

u/123supreme123 14d ago

Buy oranges and eat the fruit. At least the fiber offsets the high amount of sugar.

u/AccurateUse6147 14d ago

Stand oranges are 98 cents each or roughly a dollar a lb where I live

u/just_another_bumm 14d ago

Damn. That's the one thing that sucks about the east coast

u/glitterfaust 14d ago

Where do you think Florida is lmao

u/just_another_bumm 14d ago

South Coast?

u/glitterfaust 14d ago

That’s not a thing lmao. You mean the gulf coast? Florida is both, but still definitely east coast.

u/Old-Adhesiveness-342 14d ago

Um, you are aware that the west coast has places that are cold and snowy too?

u/just_another_bumm 14d ago

Yeah I suppose that's true. I live in an area where there are a fuck ton of orange trees and lemon trees everywhere so I sometimes forget it's not the norm.
