Toothpaste is a base (something with a low pH) and orange juice is an acid (high pH). When the two come in contact with one another, a chemical reaction called an acid-base reaction occurs and a salt is produced.
Many toothpastes have stannous fluoride, a compound of tin. The acetic acid in orange juice reacts with this and produces the funny taste.

Probably because you brushed your teeth. It might have something to do with the toothpaste which, (I'm assuming you use toothpaste,) would make Orange Juice taste somewhat like a Peppermint Orange....eww.

It's not just the TASTE of the toothpaste that is lingering in your mouth, it's actual toothpaste. So, one way, you are drinking orange juice. The other way, you're drinking orange juice blended (though ever so slightly) with toothpaste. It's like adding a dash of anything to something your going to eat. Certain things are stronger than others. Certain things can overpower the tastes of others. Toothpaste simply doesn't mix well with sugary liquids.

It is a chemical reaction between the fluoride in the toothpaste reacting with the citric acid in orange juice. They combine to combine to form fluoricitride which is the taste you experience.
I would not recommend doing this to often.

Everything tastes different right after brushing, but orange juice specially because of the reaction that happens between the calcium and the vitamin c

"It's because of a certain ingredient in toothpaste called sodium laurel sulfate. It actually blocks sweet sensors. All the other taste bud cells in your mouth are firing away nicely, but the receptors which pick up the sweet sensors are not working anymore. Not only does it block the sweet sensors, it enhances the sour and bitter, so you get this massive influx of sour and bitter taste coming through the mouth
