But I"ve had bottled and juice in cartons that is pretty bad too. Some of the premium brands in cartons are the next best thing to fresh squeezed IMHO.
Oh, I've not come across that in restaurants - it tends to be the 'Tropicana' type juice if it is not freshly squeezed. The one that I have never come across in a restaurant, just in people's homes, that I think fits the bill is 'Sunny Delight' only partially juice - disgusting! What I do notice is that North American 100% orange juice seems to taste a lot sweeter than 100% juice I get in the UK - perhaps that is part of the taste difference?
Oh, I know what else you sometimes find, but not in half decent restaurants - orange juice that comes out of a post-mix gun (like coke etc). That stuff is pretty nasty, but I wouldn't expect that in a restaurant at breakfast.
