Which is an amazingly beautiful photo scene we rarely see! But flys in Orange juice kind of caught my attention and took over the topic. Given I use a fair amount of OJ's of various mixes with Mango, Peaches and Cranberries to help keep fit, Ok sometimes with a fortifying of Vodka to help it act productively. I found Tina's note of a major situation in attention. I just can't imagine swallowing drowned flies, even with vodka, as an acceptable mix! AAaaacccckkk! Cough! So I immediately went to the fridge to check the current juice purchase only to find horror of horrors, "we also had TROPICANA OJ", albeit blended with peaches and Mango. I carefully opened the cap and peered inside, guarding my one good eye not to be damaged by escaping flys. Fortunately, none in this container. Drowned or otherwise! However this juice situation has created a major concern as we go through a major amount of it each month and flies just don't cut it with any food category I can think of. Now it's an interesting dilemma, buy Tropicana or otherwise? We are left with a big question mark each time we purchase OJ or other juices of any kind, trust me we go through quite a number of litres/gallons in this home every month , a major staple of liquids! Unfortunately each time I open a litre of, not only Tropicana juice of any kind, that is if we should purchase it any more? We'll be very diligent about pouring a glass and chug a lugging it down! :-( It's a shame this type of situation comes to the fore front of a camera list, but if it were not for the heads up of friends looking after friends, the malpractice of companies in watching over their clients would be lost! So thank you Tina for your heads up and I trust you are taken seriously by the manufacturer.

They didn't have that at Earth Fare and I hate to go to several stores just to get different brands. I've written Earth Fare, too. It's not their fault, but I'll never buy Tropicana again, even if I have to make a special trip to Harris Teeter for the Florida's Natural! Tina PS: Maybe this belongs on the LugForum? It's not exactly political, but it's not photography either since I didn't take a picture of the dead flies.
