Future generations will never experience making this stuff with too little water to create a mixer that hides the taste of cheap booze.

My guess is they just couldn't concentrate.

Growing up in the 90s we often had this frozen concentrate in the freezer. But I hardly ever drink juice now, and prefer to eat oranges over drinking juice.

To be fair, we stopped buying their frozen juice around 20 years ago when the off-brand juices became just as good and Minute Maid started putting increased amounts of sugar in most of them (and jacking up the prices of the others).

Then probably 5 years later, we just stopped buying juice altogether and went back to eating fruit and making smoothies from frozen fruit.

The whole frozen OJ industry was based out of Florida, which has suffered a 90% decline in production, thanks to citrus greening disease.

I used to eat this stuff straight from the can, with a spoon.

I guess cornering the market in Frozen Concentrated Orange Juice futures will be yet another anachronism, like taping a show or dialing a phone

What weird timing. My husband and I were just telling our daughter how there used to be so many different types of frozen juice and now there’s hardly any.

This is what they get for making "never from concentrate" a seal of quality

I never cared much for the orange juice, but minute maid frozen lemonade concentrate is amazing. I'm going to miss that one for sure.

Uses to use these to make a whiskey slush that would take like 3 days to freeze and during the 4th of July weekend we'd have to protect the freezer from the uncles trying to "grab just a cup" early

They will take my frozen OJ from my cold sticky hands.

When I was a kid, I remember the grocery store freezers had a huge section devoted to racks of frozen concentrates. Now it's just a tiny little space at the bottom somewhere. I guess even that's going away.

Get used to this kids. The economy is shrinking faster than a Republican hard-on when they see 18 year olds with blue hair and nose rings.

It's been at least 15 years since I've bought a can of the stuff. Too much sugar.

I didn't even know they were still around. I haven't seen them in the grocery stores in ages.

I'm guessing it's because they can't compete with store brands and other cheap competition. My family buys this stuff, and we never pay the premium for the brand name.

My mom bought this all the time. I have never in my life bought this stuff.

Dang, I often use these for baking if I want to add some flavor to a cake or something. They're fun for mixing into carbonated water, too!

This news makes me sad I do not have a pitcher to make any juice from concentrate in. No other pineapple juice is as good as frozen minute maid concentrate 😭

I've not bought this in my adult life but was recently reminiscing about it and was planning on buying some. I better do it now!

Shame. I never bought it but I did enjoy what it brought to the colours and shapes on the supermarket freezer shelf. RIP sideways orange black and white cylinder.

One brand is discontinuing it. Does that mean it will go away for good?

No need to panic, folks. I didn't see the Strawberry Daiquiri concentrate mix listed as discontinued. We're gonna be juuuuuust fiiiiiiiine.
