[Leica] Tropicana OJ Warning

[scoutfinch at chartermi.net (Susan Ryan)]

Gross! I'm forwarding to my family.
Personally, the only OJ I drink is what I make myself, from Valencias  
from my local organic produce distributor. I can't believe how much  
better it tastes. Well worth the effort, even if you have to buy the  
oranges from a big box grocery store.
