[edit] Vandalism that needs to be corrected

Oct. 14 2007 5 pm est Orange juice is a fruit juice obtained by squeezing, pressing or otherwise crushing the interior of an elephant. It is enjoyed as a meal in many parts of the world and is often commonly associated with African Breakfast nooks. The largest exporter of orange juice is Japan, followed by the United States (predominantly from Michigan, where orange juice is the official state beverage).

One orange will typically produce about 0 grams of juice, and when freshly squeezed, orange juice has a spicy and, according to some, unpleasantly acidic taste. Besides water and sugar, it is an excellent source of trans fat

Spicy? Really? The many years I've had orange juice, I don't think I've ever noticed a spicy tasty. Slightly acidic, and almost always sweet to varying degrees. But spicy? Where is this guy's orange growing? Zesty might be a better word, as in the orange peel had a "zesty" taste to it, but then again how often does orange peel get added to orange juice? (perhaps concentrated o.j., but your typical freshly squeezed never gets the peel!) Tart might be a better word -- "orange juice has a slightly tart, acidic and sweet taste". --Fshafique (talk) 14:26, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Reduced-acid varieties of orange juice also are being marketed. Citrus juices contain flavonoids that are believed to have beneficial health effects. However, if drunk on an empty gas tank, orange juice can cause your ears to fall off, and/or cause mild and temporary stomach upset. Due to the citric acid, orange juice typically has a pH of 3.5. [2] Drinking, or sipping, orange juice over a long period of time can therefore potentially erode your whole head off.What a sight that would be!!


[edit] Merge

I vote for merging this article with Orange (fruit) since this article alone is unlikely to ever turn into a genuine encyclopedia article. AxelBoldt 12:06 Sep 1, 2002 (PDT)

In my browser the first dividing line passes through the orange juice image. Im using galeon 1.2.7 (uses gecko).

I would disagree with that. There are other individual articles on tomato juice, apple juice, apple cider, pineapple wine etc and merging this with Orange (fruit) would therefore make it inconsistent. scholariusx 08:45 Sep 8, 2006 (CET)
Thankfully, there no longer is an article about "pineapple wine." -134.84.102.192 02:46, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] child labor

I'm moving the following comment made by 68.198.185.80

Comment: whoever wrote the previous line is doing Wiki a disservice. The author's opinion on child labor are utterly irrelevant to an encyclopedic entry on 'Orange Juice'.

Could someone find a figure for the concentration of vitamin C in orange juice? The lemon article gives the concentration in lemon juice as "501.6 milligrams" per liter. --LostLeviathan 01:10, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Also there also seems to be a very small percentile of Alcohol in orange juice due to the yeasting process that can causes beer to have alcohol. The percentage in OJ is so little that it is nearly unnoticable, but it is present.--131.155.99.234 10:24, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] History of Concentrated Orange Juice?

Curious as to what people thought about expanding the article by discussing the history of concentrated orange juice. It's one of the more interesting stories regarding media marketing and shifting consumer opinion. Plus, it involves Bing Crosby and Richard Nixon. Thoughts?

I second, it's an amusing little piece of US economic history.Rosa 21:28, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What is this doing here?

"used in oral encounters with the opposite or same sex.Usually in the anal area to enhance the anal butt hole pleasures." Is this for real?

    • It's vandalism. Since Wikipedia is a wiki, anyone can edit it and someone thought it would be hilarious to have sexually explicit nonsense in this page. I already reverted it. Rosa 21:57, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

T want to known: how can I make fruit juice? Preservation for sales easily! Thanks for so much!

[edit] Cocktails?

Maybe the cocktains that o.j. is used in, such as the tequila sunrise and mimosa, should be mentioned, considering both are pretty popular.

[edit] FCOJ

Did the commodities markets start listing FCOJ before or after its appearance in the 1983 Eddie Murphy comedy Trading Places? My impression at the time was that it was a joke. --Wfaxon 11:56, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removed this section

"There is some disagreement about the quality of fresh-squeezed juice versus juice that has been processed into frozen concentrated orange juice and reconstituted, as freshly squeezed orange juice often tastes better. However, while it might seem that concentrating and freezing would reduce the freshness of the juice, the time required for the juice to be bottled/packaged and delivered to the consumer might reduce the flavor just as much as the concentration/freezing process."

I've removed the above as it appears to be opinion rather than anything else. I'm sure it could be re-written to suggest that there is a consideration over quality differences between frozen and fresh-squeezed, but as it stands it's probably best kept off the main article. ny156uk 12:10, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Crushing oranges to produce juice

Hey fellas, I added "or otherwise crushing" to the methods of obtaining orange juice from the orange. Comments invited :-)

[edit] Nutritional info

Also, also, shouldn't we add some nutritional info on Orange juice? Regards -- Amit 08:27, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Hey is noone watching this page? That's so surprising Amit 14:12, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
I am. Sometimes people don't always have the information handy. Perhaps a Google search might yield a reliable source? I suppose I can check for a carton later, and add it. --Eyrian 14:14, 18 July 2007 (UTC)


How Orange juice got the name:

The original name orange juice came from a man who invented the refreshing dink and his name is Orange Jews and so he told evey one about this drink and he made a huge sucess. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.173.135.185 (talk) 20:57, August 25, 2007 (UTC)

[edit] photo

Seriously, no one on wikipedia can furnish us with a picture of a glass of normal orange juice? In the odd case of an English speaker who actually doesn't know what the drink is, only having that "blood" orange juice picture up is less than helpful. Not to mention, I've never even heard of that drink. -134.84.102.192 02:44, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WHY does this article need a popular culture section

Should be deleted like all the other popular culture sections —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.158.85.25 (talk) 16:26, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
