This discussion reminds me of one of my favorite Tony-Carmella exchanges from “The Sopranos.” Tony is in his usual obstinant oversized whiny baby mood: Tony (annoyed and holding orange juice container): This says “With Pulp!” Carmella: You like it with pulp. Tony: Not this much. I like it with “\*SOME \*Pulp”! ---

Fresh squeezed orange juice should have pulp. All store bought stuff is inferior, and for some reason I don’t like the store brands to have pulp, although I can live with a little. - California native, living in Florida and working in California ---
