Future generations will never experience making this stuff with too little water to create a mixer that hides the taste of cheap booze.

Oh, NOW you tell me about this
Could still use Tang
Just use powdered Tang, same results.
Yeah... water... we definitely weren't using light beer to water down our hard liquor with this stuff
Given the choice between Flint water and Coors Light, I'd take the Flint water, thanks.
Current generations including my own have already not had that experience.
Shame, “Get Laid Lemonade” got me through college.
This was the foundational element of my jungle juice recipe.
oh ok
Growing up in the 90s we often had this frozen concentrate in the freezer. But I hardly ever drink juice now, and prefer to eat oranges over drinking juice.
Same. The adults who raised me bought diet soda and always had a jug of fruit juice in the fridge for the kids.
Why yes, they did always vote Republican. How did you know?
I'm guessing it's because they can't compete with store brands and other cheap competition. My family buys this stuff, and we never pay the premium for the brand name.
I don't often have oj in the house, but I always keep one of these in the freezer in case someone gets sick or we get a craving.
CBC did an investigation on commercial OJ that basically ruined it for me.

I used to love OJ, but noticed that it all started tasting like shit about 20 years ago. Coincidence, or related?
This is what they get for making "never from concentrate" a seal of quality
It's amazing how well the marketing worked to sell an inferior product for more money.
Turns out when they pasteurize it it destroys most of the flavor, so then they re-add flavor artificially extracted from other juice. "Not from concentrate" arguably, but very highly processed.
Juice from frozen concentrate is still far from as good as fresh-squeezed, but it's a whole lot closer than the "not from concentrate" sludge. And ironically cheaper. It's particularly good slightly under-diluted.
I guess cornering the market in Frozen Concentrated Orange Juice futures will be yet another anachronism, like taping a show or dialing a phone
They will take my frozen OJ from my cold sticky hands.
Well, it's all the best...I mean we don't have to mix this shit with PFA's right?
I never cared much for the orange juice, but minute maid frozen lemonade concentrate is amazing. I'm going to miss that one for sure.
The tea lemonade was bangin’ too
One brand is discontinuing it. Does that mean it will go away for good?
Truly, this is the end times.
My mom bought this all the time. I have never in my life bought this stuff.
Give it a go - it's way better than the not-from-concentrates crap, even while being cheaper.
I've not bought this in my adult life but was recently reminiscing about it and was planning on buying some. I better do it now!
I genuinely don’t know how I’ll make margaritas going forward. Devastating
This news makes me sad I do not have a pitcher to make any juice from concentrate in. No other pineapple juice is as good as frozen minute maid concentrate 😭
I didn't even know they were still around. I haven't seen them in the grocery stores in ages.
