Is it any good, or does it taste really watered down? Looking to get OJ back into my diet, but not wanting to put up with all the sugar. Thanks, y'all.

    I drink this every morning. It tastes just like OJ in my opinion. I love it. It's not watered down at all.

    I really like it tbf - To me it doesn't seem watered down, but it is less tangy than regular orange juice.

    Isn't trop50 watered orange juice? Why don't you buy real orange juice and add water?

    I don't mind the taste of Trop50 but it has an added sweetener which I think is silly. I don't need sweetener in my juice of any kind even if it lowers the actual sugar. I try not to drink juice anymore but rather eat fruit and drink water. I love juice, but I get more out of eating a piece of fruit and having some water with my meals. The only juice I do buy on occasion is Florida's Natural because the only think on the ingredient list is orange juice. No sweetener. No "natural flavors"

    It tastes really gross to me. The artificial flavor totally killed it for me. The hubby couldn't even get past one sip.

    If you want OJ with less calories, either just drink less OJ or do what's commonly done for little kids, cut your juices with 50% juice/50% water.

    I was surprised at some of the unfavorable responses. I've been buying Trop50 (or the store brand "light" OJ) for years and quite frankly I can't tell much if any difference.

    I am on the list of people who didn't like it. I didn't like the taste of it, and I am not sure I could quantify it. Typically if I want juice now I blend it with zero calorie sparkling water about 50/50. For some reason if it is fizzy I don't mind the loss of flavor so much ;).

    Right now it takes me a month to go through a half gallon of juice so I really don't drink it as much as I used to (usually 3 days would finish off a half gallon of juice). This is a problem as juice doesn't really like to be open that long.

    Tropicana claims there are no artificial sweeteners in the Trop50. Artificial sweeteners tend to make me feel sick, which is why I can't tolerate diet soda. Enough of you are saying that you like it, so maybe a trial run is worth it. I like the idea of mixing it sparkling water. Thanks.

    I actually like the Minute Maid light version better. Same 50 cals. I cut where I can as long as it still tastes good.

    I love it, after work out and my three cups of water I go to the safeway next door and get one.

    It taste watered down but is not bad . I buy the regular one and just drink less of it , 8oz the regular version is better than 16oz of trop 50.

    We love it in our house. Real orange juice is too sweet for me. I like this one better. Of course, if you mix some Korbel Brut in there for brunch ... :wink: ... But that would be bad ... if it were every weekend.
