I actually prefer the concentrate. The juice in the jugs has often been sitting around for many months and despite the marketing is hardly the epitome of freshness. The cans were cheap, convenient and easy to store. Here a couple quarts of orange juice is $7; no idea what the cans cost or if they are still available in Canada since I do not drink much juice.
You misspelled “EIEIO”
Or you meant something else, but who in the world knows what it is? It’s OK to write full words. You won’t be punished and people will know what you intended to say.
I’ve been pondering planting a lime tree in my yard. This may be the reason for finally doing it.
Yeah. I know.
I forget what I meant. So I can’t decide if I misspelled anything.
I assure you it wasn’t mean-spirited.
Make sure of the language. I had my landscapers put in a lime tree in my back yard. Language gap, so we resorted to Google translate to make sure he got a limón tree. Worker one told worker two, who planted a lemon tree. Of course, it should have been lima.
Actually worked out for the best because I use lemons a lot in cooking, but still…be aware!
Persian Lime is my preferred choice. Although Meyer lemons would be welcome.
Also, mah sustainability? I haven’t seen how the math shakes out on the manufacture, transport and storage of cardboard cans of frozen concentrate (smaller, lighter, less water content, but requiring freezer storage) versus bottles or cartons of reconstituted juice.
But ISTM unlikely that the concentrate packaging is less eco-friendly than the heavy bottles/cartons containing 3-4 times as much water to produce the same amount of drinkable juice.
I don’t think anybody’s mentioned it yet in this thread (?), but have you noticed how MM discontinuing frozen concentrates is thereby destroying all meaningful semantic connection with their own brand name? The company was called “Minute Maid” in the first place to imply that the packaged concentrate was a quick and easy way of preparing fresh fruit juice. What’ll they call it now, “Three Seconds Maid Except When the Damn Lid Gets Stuck And You Have To Waste Five Minutes Tapping It with a Knife Handle To Break the Vacuum Seal”?
For their next trick they’ll bring back an AI version of that raging homophobe spokesbabe they had in the 1970s / 80s. I’m momentarily struggling with her name. A ha! Anita Bryant.
Rot in hell, bitch.
She wasn’t specifically Minute Maid, though but rather the Florida Citrus Commission’s spokesperson.
Bing Crosby sold Minute Maid.

We’re really, really trying to move away from referring to women as “bitch”, or any other gendered insult of that sort. And for that matter, “spokesbabe” is also rather objectifying.
Please do better.
FWIW a can of frozen juice in Canada is just north of three Canadian dollars (US $2.35).
There is a good recipe for homemade Orange Julius which relies on both the frozen and concentrated flavour components of this product.
