Wonder what kind of environmental damage would happen if one crashed. Are they properly prepared for a captain having one too many screwdrivers?

If the carton isn’t lying and I’m getting “Real Florida Orange Juice,” I sure hope it wasn’t on a ship. That would be a wild logistics chain just to send it West.
But also: I can drive around orange orchards in my area. Where’s the “Real California Orange Juice?” Motherfuckers be putting it on ships and sending it to Florida, I bet.
Grown in Florida, Peeled in Ecuador, packaged in China, sold in Utah.
I think, and don’t quote me on this - we grow better oranges in CA, so they are sold as actual oranges for eating.
Not necessarily better but definitely different, California has a dryer milder climate that renders a thicker peel and sweeter fruit in Valencia oranges which is a contrast to Florida’s hotter and wetter climate producing juicier, tarter fruit with a thinner peel. But yes California has “table” oranges and Florida has “juice” oranges

Also California production is outpacing Florida production because of premature fruit drop due to climate change, and less available labor due to a migrant labor shortage.

Yo! Thanks for bringing the receipts. Love me some thicc sweet oranges.
I think you should go home now, Devin. Take a right on San Vincente, cross the bridge, then take the 405 north until you can’t take it anymore.
Whuuuuut are YEUNH doing heeeere?
That’s why I don’t like the oranges out west! Thanks for this TIL.
Supposedly some of it goes to Oregon, but for the most part I think the US isn’t part of this supply chain.
I’m just being silly 😋
