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.

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.

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

Now? the only element it extremely is replaced is your information. frightening, huh? severe fructose corn syrup, sophisticated white sugar, and the different style of sugar are all organic aspects -- consistently have been, too. Juice contains various of organic sugar, even whilst none is further. Have a smaller glass of juice and a larger glass of water afterwards. utilising juice to quench your thirst isn't your terrific thought. All organic something isn't inevitably secure or sturdy for you. each and every time I hear somebody say "it extremely is secure; it extremely is all organic" i won't be able to help thinking "All organic? Yeah. So is hemlock!"

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.
