None for me, please. That means more pulp for the people who like it. Win-win, right? ---

Must have pulp. I suppose there’s a point where there can be too much but the pulp has all the flavor. ---

I prefer no orange juice! Orange juice is gross! But I generally like my juice with pulp. ---

Some pulp here, but I’m not a fan of orange juice in general. (Although I do like freshly squeezed OJ, but I just don’t have the energy to deal with that, so while there is almost always OJ in the house for my wife, I can’t remember the last time I actually drank any of it.) ---

I don’t mind a little pulp, but the spousal unit doesn’t, so it’s no pulp in my screwdriver, if you please. ---

Orange juice is just sugar water. More sugar than water. Sweet, sweet, delicious, orangey, fresh, beautiful sugar water. If you don’t have pulp, you might as well be drinking a big glass of Pure Guilt. ---

Pulp is for people too lazy to take it out. ---

The more pulp, the better; I want to have to chew my orange juice. 😃 Seriously, if I don’t have 6 oranges to squeeze, or the time or patience to deal with the mess of squeezing, I go with Tropicana Grovestand every time. ---

Add me to the list of folks who say pulp is only acceptable if you squeeze the oranges yourself. I don’t want someone else’s leftover orange gunk. But don’t you DARE cut the crusts off my bread. That’s the best part! ---

For breakfast, with pulp. In a Screwdriver, no pulp. This does make some mornings extremely difficult to cope with. ---

If it weren’t for the seeds, I’d say to just run the orange through a blender instead of juicing it. I like lots of pulp. (I’m also partial to bubble tea and slushes. It’s possible that I have issues with the whole “drinks=liquids” concept.) ---

Juice is without skins. If I want juice _and_ skins, I just eat the whole damn orange. ---

I didn’t start drinking orange juice until I could buy it myself and so I’d be sure to get the pulp-free kind. ---

I don’t scape up my beard trimming and put them in my coffee, so why the hell would I want the same effect in my OJ? ---

I like some pulp. We buy Florida’s Natural OJ **with pulp**. They have one called\*\* most pulp\*\*. Thats a bit too much. I don’t want to strangle myself. 😉 ---

I used to love orange juice and hate pulp as a kid. Nowadays, I’m indifferent to orange juice and I don’t mind pulp. ---

No pulp for me. I don’t care for orange juice, anyway. Unless there’s vodka in it. 😃 ---

I like the taste of OJ with pulp but I hate cleaning the glass after so at home I drink without it; out, if it is an option, pulp!
