Grapefruit juice all the way, I always get a bottle of freshly-squeezed one at my local supermarket. Sure beats the big brand ones that are carton-packed thousands of miles away...

Worth noting, among the same brand, it's grapefruit juice not-from-concentrate in the carton at the store, but look a the ingredients of the same brand in other packaging and it might be more like grapefruit flavored water.

Yes. Oranges are a bit too sweet.
I wish grapefruit really did have the fat-blocking property that an earlier poster attributed to them. At least in my case, they don't seem to work.

Some of the restaurante have the ready to eat grapefruit wedges with no skin/seeds and I love to them for breakfast when I travel. I guess they come in a can or a jar. Any idea where I can buy them in bulk? I looked at Costco and Sam's club but no luck in finding.

Food service wholesaler will have them, but they generally do not sell to the public. If you know any restaurants well you might be able to have them order a pail for you.
They also need to be refrigerated, so imaging the size of a larger pail of paint and fit that into your fridge.

I would be one of those people, if I could...

Umm, maybe I should have one of our establishment order some and repack them into 1 gallon containers to resell to grapefruit loving FTers? BUT Refrigerated shipping will probably kill this idea.
