My guess is they just couldn't concentrate.

To be fair, we stopped buying their frozen juice around 20 years ago when the off-brand juices became just as good and Minute Maid started putting increased amounts of sugar in most of them (and jacking up the prices of the others).
Then probably 5 years later, we just stopped buying juice altogether and went back to eating fruit and making smoothies from frozen fruit.

The whole frozen OJ industry was based out of Florida, which has suffered a 90% decline in production, thanks to citrus greening disease.

I guess cornering the market in Frozen Concentrated Orange Juice futures will be yet another anachronism, like taping a show or dialing a phone
replies:
What weird timing. My husband and I were just telling our daughter how there used to be so many different types of frozen juice and now there’s hardly any.

They will take my frozen OJ from my cold sticky hands.

I used to eat this stuff straight from the can, with a spoon.

When I was a kid, I remember the grocery store freezers had a huge section devoted to racks of frozen concentrates. Now it's just a tiny little space at the bottom somewhere. I guess even that's going away.
Get used to this kids. The economy is shrinking faster than a Republican hard-on when they see 18 year olds with blue hair and nose rings.
replies:
I didn't even know they were still around. I haven't seen them in the grocery stores in ages.
