You're drinking pasteurised, flavourless juice that has had its taste enhanced with a flavour concoction (chemicals derived from orange essences and oils) specific to the manufacturer (and yes, the pulp in "with bits" bottled juice isn't the pulp from the original orange either !).
How else do you think two bottles from the same brand randomly plucked off two different shelves in two different supermarkets taste the same ?
This is true, they deliver a consistent product 12 months a year using frozen juice and orange oils.
However it still tastes better than the concentrated juice, so that's the point really.
In some countries there are orange juice machines in convenience stores that squeeze the juice while you watch.
That's the only way to go.
