Why does anyone buy Tropicana orange juice?
I understand why people buy generic or store brands: they are cheaper. I also understand why people buy organic or specialty brands: they are genuinely different (and arguably better) products. However, I don't understand why someone would pay more money for a product that is in no way different from the generic.
Answers:
Most store or generic brands are more than likely made by Sunkist or Tropicana. You should see their factory, it is ENORMOUS and is about 12 miles up the road from my house. The person who answered in reference to gas prices against OJ per gallon is dead-on, I expect the cost to go up since the freeze out west. Another tidbit: 85% of all oranges grown in Florida go to Tropicana..... that's a lot of oranges!!
Oh, I buy it because they offer a shelf stable pasteurized product that I can keep at home and open and use when I want to. It needs to be refrigerated after opening, but it is convenient.
some people just prefer to buy the name brand
because they trust name brand products more
Yes...you shouldn't skim on juice.
I do, I do.
It tastes great. They mix it exactly right and the Homestyle is excellent pulpy juice.
The generic is just that...concentrate skimmed off the top and watered down. May as well buy Tang and mix that.
I suppose you would argue that Boone's Farm wine is a vintage treat too.
I stopped Tropicana orange drink cos it contained so much sugar.
I like Tropicana because its not from concentrate, It dosent have that sour taste that lot of the cheaper generic brands tend to have.
I am a orange juice fanatic... I definately love the tropicana no pulp oj in the plastic carafe type bottle.. I don't like the carton kind. I taste the difference in different brands and difference in cartons. I hate Kroger Brand OJ, and the odwalla 12 dollar brand OJ these are the worst on my list. I love it when tropicana carafe is on sale, but I don't mind paying the extra price to shake that brand of OJ for my cup. :D
okay, i personally like Tropicana Juice better. It's brand name, pulp free and totally fresh. you can taste the grove!
if you drink Tropicana or store brands i cant tell the difference
