You really have missed the point ; whether wilfully or not, I do not know.

I said absolutely nothing about ‘protest’. What I’m actually saying is that if juice had not been eliminated from the PDB tray offering, then the OP (together with, very possibly, many others in the future) would not have missed out on his drink of choice - a drink that he had become accustomed to enjoying, as a premium cabin passenger, with no fuss, and over so many past flights.
