Tropicana Pure Premium Orange Juice continuing my childhood tradition

Every since I was a young girl, my mornings have started with Tropicana Pure Premium Orange Juice. For me, there was no other brand of orange juice. My obsession began because I don't like pulp in my orange juice. Back in the day, Tropicana was the only orange juice that was pulp free. I still remember my dad bringing home the wrong orange juice one day and I sat with a strainer trying to fix my juice. He was exasperated with me, but the Tropicana came back to our refrigerator and my morning routine. To this day, I will only drink Tropicana Pure Premium. Forget the sales, deals, etc. Tropicana is my orange juice.

Growing up in Florida, orange juice that tasted just like an orange off a tree was imperative. Putting aside my pulp issue, I loved getting oranges directly from the farmers. There is a particular sweetness that comes from a Florida orange. I still remember getting a freshly cut orange from the farm. The juices spill down your chin as you bite into a wedge. 

Did you know oranges have been grown in Florida since the 1560s, approximately 147 years before any other U.S. state?  With all this history and tradition, Florida oranges are the essential orange. Tropicana Orange Juice has been working with Florida citrus growers for a very long time. It is the single largest buyer of Florida fruit, purchasing approximately 11.6 billion oranges from Florida each year. That is why Tropicana Pure Premium  is the 100% Pure Florida Orange Juice. Even now when I drink my orange juice, I can remember the aromas from being at an orange grove growing up.


What started as a personal preference in my childhood has become my family's tradition as well. Every morning, I serve my children Tropicana Pure Premium orange juice. There may be an occasional change to apple juice or milk, but usually it is Tropicana with calcium. Each  8oz glass gives of Tropicana Pure Premium gives you 100% vitamin C to help you maintain a healthy immune system.With two growing children, we drink a lot of orange juice. Luckily a certain warehouse store sells Tropicana in a four package box. From breakfast to a mid-afternoon pick-me up (half Sprite-half Tropicana makes a refreshing drink), the kids will reach for the Tropicana in the refrigerator. It is like a little bit of Florida in a container.
