      I (European) got this much, but is a pitcher of orange juice so much of a thing someone would fall for it? I’ve never seen anyone store orange juice outside the tetra pack it comes in. (Other than some swanky event like a wedding)

        I don’t know how common it is but some households might use frozen orange concentrate and would use a pitcher for storage.

        (Frozen orange concentrate is sold as small cylinders in the frozen food section that you mix with water.)

            They don’t do that in Europe? We had this all the time when I was growing up. WAY cheaper than buying a big-ass bottle of OJ. Less waste too.

                Juice from concentrate you can buy here in bottle or tetrapack. But it is already watered down. The concentrate part is for lesser costs for production - transport. Mostly cheaper than normal juice.

          We have that in Canada, but we also have the tiny crystal packets or squirt bottles for juice, and the giant canasters filled with drink mix. I have not seen orange juice powder since I was kid in the 90’s.

        It used to be common to have cans of orange juice concentrate in the freezer. In the morning, you’d dump a can in a pitcher and add water.

        In the US it could be Tang instead, a powered drink mix stirred and in a pitcher, or reconstituted frozen orange juice which, like a lot of fruit in the US, is often fresher than stuff on our grocery shelves given when it’s frozen.
