Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / April 2005New find: Tropicana OrangeAde
Just spotted this on sale at the local Shoprite here in NJ. It's sold in 12 packs of pt bottles for $6. Pretty good, IMO, a little too sweet, but thats fixed by adding some ice and it has a nice orange taste, not artificial tasting. It's says it's made with real fruit juice, but they must do a good job of sucking the sugar out, cause it's 0 carb. > Just spotted this on sale at the local Shoprite here in NJ.

April 7, 2005 TID0407 HOW LITTLE JUICE IS STILL 'REAL'? Mr. Tidbit's recent chuckle over the chutzpah of a Tropicana refrigerated orange-juice product may have been premature; it just gets better. To review: Four of Tropicana's Essentials line are 100 percent orange juice plus a varying array of vitamins and minerals; the fifth, Tropicana Essentials Light 'n Healthy, labeled "light orange juice beverage," is described as having half the sugar and carbohydrate of orange juice. It has half the everything of orange juice: It's half water! It's water, 42 percent not-from-concentrate orange juice, some natural flavor and Splenda (to make the water seem like orange juice) -- plus vitamins, minerals and miscellany. And it's the same price as the other Tropicana Essentials. At the time Mr. Tidbit didn't even consider how much more peculiar an orange-juice-type beverage could get. So he wasn't prepared for the two kinds of Tropicana OrangeAde, a noncarbonated "naturally flavored juice beverage from concentrate with other natural flavors,"made with REAL fruit juice." The regular kind (100 calories per cup) is water, high-fructose corn syrup, orange juice from concentrate, citric acid, vitamin C (100 percent of the daily value), various preservatives, some natural flavor (to make the water and syrup seem like orange juice), thickeners and colors. Guess how much "REAL" juice is in it: 3 percent. The sugar-free version has no calories. It's water, citric acid, orange juice from concentrate, vitamin C (100 percent of the daily value), various preservatives, some natural flavor and two sweeteners (to make the water seem like orange juice), plus thickeners and colors. No calories but it contains "REAL" orange juice? Hmm. Guess how much: 1 percent. Really. In a 2-liter bottle that's four teaspoons. At least both are priced as pop, not juice. ------- You've been had. TC I haven't been had. I know perfectly well there's little real juice in most juice drink products that contain juice. This isn't anything new. Even the regular ones, unless it specifically lists the amount of juice on the front of the label, have very little real juice. So I wouldn't expect a 0 carb one to have much at all, just enough to give it flavor, which I think they've done nicely. I like it and think it makes a nice orange drink. If you don't, then just don't buy it. You thought it was made with real juice and they had somehow removed the sugar. They, in fact, removed the juice. TC > I haven't been had.

Ah the twin cities- land of Mong " Now that you mention it, I think you're right. I had bought some SF Tang a couple years ago, but never could find it again. I thought that was pretty good too. Certainly not OJ, but not bad as a substitute. > Now that you mention it, I think you're right. I had bought some SF > Tang a couple years ago, but never could find it again.
