My parents raised me on that Tang crap. I now drink the Homegrove Style of OJ…enough pulp to choke a tiger. I’m such a rebel. ---

No pulp. None. Zip. Zilch. Zero. Nada. 100 percent totally and verifiably pulp free. Otherwise, there shall be a messy cleanup as my stomach contents empty in revulsion. In case you couldn’t tell, I don’t much care for pulp. ---

Mmmm, pulp… puuuullllllpppp… Gotta have at least **some** pulp in my 'juice. I like cracking the pulp between my teeth, and feeling the small ‘squish’ as the juice gets freed from it’s confines. (I do this also with roe.) If it doesn’t have pulp… Dunno. It just doen’t taste quite right to me. * * * \<\< Who’s General Failure, and why’s he reading my disk… \>\> ---

I used to hate pulp, but now, my mom buys this really great brand of orange juice you could eat with a spoon. It’s so yummy. The bits of pulp aren’t all icky like other brands, so they don’t get caught in your throat. Wish I could remember what kind is was. Some Tropicana type, I think. I usually don’t like orange juice very much at all. I won’t drink it away from home. Restaurant orange juice is all sour and nasty. jessica ---

If I wanted hunks of orange, I’d eat an orange. When I’m drinking juice, I want it to be liquid, darn it (please forgive my strong language, but I feel strongly about this.) NO PULP! If there’s any pulp, just put it in the blender until it begs for mercy, then run it through a strainer! Or, preferably, a cheesecloth! ---

[Pulp Fiction] I’m not a cobb or corn, so you can stop butterin’ me up. I don’t need you to tell me how good my coffee is. I’m the one who buys it, I know how f_ckin’ good it is. When Bonnie goes shoppin;, she buys sh_t. I buy the gourmet expensive stuff 'cause when I drink it, I wanna taste it. [/Pulp Fiction] Strong coffee, OJ **with** pulp – “I wanna taste it.” ---

Fresh squeezed - with pulp From a carton - no pulp Does that make me strange? ---

Mmmmm…pulp. I love pulp and I don’t like the frozen OJ. Blech. And I really only like Tropicana. Mmmm…pulp is so good and this thread is making me kinda thirsty. I think it’s OJ time! ---

No Pulp, some pulp, whatever. Lots of pulp, though, just blurs the line between beverage and meal. If you have to drink something to wash down what you just washed something down with, you’re doing it wrong. Trust me, I’m an expert; when I go home for Christmas, my mom has to buy a gallon of OJ for every day I’m there. And how can anybody drink an OJ other than the variously pulpy Tropicana Pure Premiums? From concentrate OJ tastes terrible, out of a can OJ tastes like grapefruit juice, extra calcium OJ tastes like chalk, and this new low acid OJ tastes like baking soda. ---

No pulp for me. Whenever I visited my grandparents, they would serve me fresh-squeezed orange juice, which tasted great, but it had huge amount of pulp that I used to spit out. ---

Excellent Question. Tropicana comes with three levels of pulp: Original (no pulp); HomeStyle (medium pulp); Grovestand (lotsa pulp) I prefer the medium pulp. Fresh squeezed is a rare treat. Medium pulp.
