Review : Minute Maid Original Orange Juice

I know I have reviewed soda before but they just started carrying Minute Maid Original Orange Juice in the new Easy Grip Bottle in the vending machines where I work.

I am glad to to have a caffeine and sugar free alternative to pop from the vending machines. It is all about the access. I freaking hate diet sodas and would much rather drink tea, juice or water.

This stuff is made by the Coke corporate conglomerate and has a new easy grip plastic bottle. Now to be honest I never had a problem with excessive dropping of orange juice in the past but you never know.

It has a big seal printed on the label for a Gold Taste Award by the American Tasting institute? WTF? I have never heard of them so I did a Google search.

The Google search reveled

The American Tasting Institute is a private organization comprised of 35,000 professional chefs who conduct regular judgings of consumer and food service products and host the annual consumer products awards every year at Carnegie Hall in New York City. For fifteen years, The American Tasting Institute has honored America's best food, beverage, equipment and tabletop products with quality in mind.

Well I did not know that.

This stuff is 100% juice from the USA, Brazil and Costa Rica unlike that Sunny Delight crap and Snapple juice drinks that are mostly water and sugar. Sounds like a FTAA product to me.

It packs only 110 calories and it is natural fructose sugar with no added sugar. It just makes you feel really freaking good.
