    Yup that's the OJ that I buy. I think it tastes delish! It's my FAVORITE!

    I'm a little irritated though because they changed the container and now it's a little smaller than the normal orange juice boxes AND it's the same price!!! LAME.

    WHY do people do that when it's something that's low fat, etc. :grumble:

    I just saw the commercial for it yesterday and I'm stoked to try it; I LOVE juice, but I haven't had any since I've been trying to lose weight. This makes me so happy!: smile:

    I heard about that! I think one of those articles or both says that Trop50 is made by PepsiCo or something, and they seem to always be downsizing on things.

    I'll have to look for that.

    BTW, speaking of downsizing, Edy's ice cream used to be a lot bigger for the same price.

    How about Girl Scout Cookies?? Talk about downsizing!! They are so small now especially the Samoas. One more reason not to eat them:tongue:
