      It is not about loosing interest is it about cost! They used to be affordable at 0.79 a can…. Even better than buying bottled juice But they raised the price to $1.50 or more… no longer cost effective!

      Yea I’m not buying it for 2.99 that’s me that’s stupid if I do that.

      Gen X sheds a tear. That said, while I grew up on the stuff, I wouldn’t buy it as an adult.

      Damn. I often buy the lemonade and noticed it hasn’t been available the last couple times I looked for it.

      That section of the supermarket frozen juices has been shrinking for years. The ready to pour products have been dominating for a long time now. In any case, eat your fruit and drink water.

      As an adult I bought frozen concentrate to satisfy my need for oranges during last winters No Buy US Produce but before stores pivoted to other countries. It was horrifically expensive. $4/can at times, when as mentioned, in college I was buying them for closer to $0.50/can.

      Juice is now solely a treat for things like special breakfasts or the very occasional meal out.

      I’d rather spend the money on expensive fruit from non-US sources.

      Sad, we’d have a can of frozen lemonade every week in the summer.

      (With extra water, lemon juice, and one of those 1000mg packets of vitamin C)

      Not sure what I’ll do now, bottled lemonade is super expensive for what you get, and the powdered stuff is crap

      Really? Was literally talking about this today, dating that I wanted to start buying the concentrate more often because it’s easier to keep a bunch on hand in the freezer and takes up less space. The packaging is also more environmentally friendly when you compare it to the plastic bottles. 😕

      When I was growing up almost everyone used the concentrate and premade juice was basically a rich kid thing, multiple times more expensive than the concentrate (especially Tropicana which was imported).

      I’m so sad about this. I’ve got a lot of sensory issues with flavor and the frozen lemonade has been something I’ve enjoyed for years

      They have absolutely been artificially inflating concentrate prices since covid to the point where it no longer makes sense for people to buy it over a slightly more expensive jug of juice. I guarantee this was a calculated decision to eliminate concentrate from shelves because the producers own multiple parts of the supply chain and can derive more profit from the prepared juice. Concentrate is still profitable, they’re only doing this because it isnt profitable enough for them.

      It’s been a Minute since I Maid any – was a staple of childhood though.

    23. Hopewellslam on

      Why dammit? Cheaper, less space in a freezer, better packaging (environmentally).

    25. Tomkin1985 on

      I buy it when it’s on sale
      Come to think of it I buy almost all my groceries during sales.

    26. FracturedFractals on

      well if it wasn’t for the ROI that these companies are demanding these days, it would be affordable. but its all about how much they can get away with and i guess fresh juice doesn’t need to be frozen reducing costs.

    27. Fluxxinintime on

      I’ve switched to just buying frozen fruit and blending/juicing it. Just add some frozen fruit and water. No added BS. Your tummy will thank you.

    28. pogedenguin on

      i am devastated as someone who purchases my juice like this. It was nice being able to keep juice on hand without having to dedicate fridge space to a huge expiring jug.. plus I liked being able to make it sweeter by adding less water.

      of course – because it keeps well, I would only ever buy it on discounts… and only 3 or 4 cans a year. I guess I understand that it probably isn’t profitable to produce.

      Well fuck, my kids are going to be pissed. The frozen stuff was the best dollar value for juice. And their lemonade is great stuff.

      I mean loblaws stuff is ok, but not quite the same.

    31. shiver-yer-timbers on

      Still cheapest orange juice that still tastes like orange juice.

      $3 frozen minutemade v. $10 prepared tropicana

    32. MarkTwainsGhost on

      Frozen concentrated orange juice is infinitely better than the bottled stuff we get. Concentrated stuff is made from fresh oranges, while the bottled stuff goes through some kind of sugar removal and addition so it doesn’t rot before it’s bottled.

    33. Alex45784 on

      I’ve been making my lemonade iced tea with that for years. I’m devastated

    34. Flyen on

      I was just getting into buying frozen after finding that it tastes better than the not from concentrate stuff that is highly processed but „100% juice“

    35. Reyalta on

      It’s not that tastes have changed, it’s that frozen juice used to be the affordable option and it no longer is. Charging like $3 for a can of frozen juice is ludicrous. We always stock up when it’s on sale for like $1/can but will never pay the „full price“ for it because it’s simply too much.

      This is really a bummer. I grew up in a working class family and these frozen juices were a staple. I completely understand why families aren’t buying them anymore at the current price. You can buy 1L of minute maid juice for $2, why would anyone spend an extra dollar for the same amount of product with extra effort involved?
