I'll drink either and I don't think anyone in our family has any particular preferences. I find I don't like the "made from concentrate" stuff (though I do like apple juice made like this).

I'm not bothered about smooth or lumpy, but you can really tell if it's fresh or made from concentrate. The fresh stuff tastes of oranges. However, you do pay for that rather dearly so it's a pretty special occasion that I actually buy any! I usually pay about 49p but I'll find out in a bit, because I'm just about to go shopping...

I tend to drink OJ infrequently. I find the stuff made from concentrate actually stings my mouth!

I know what you mean, and I often dilute it a bit to make it taste sweeter. Somehow I find it more palatable that way, although obviously less orangey. It also means I can drink more fluid, because pure juice is too sugary to have more than 100ml or so. Excess sugar gives me the runs :oops:

Oh, it was 62p a litre in Sainsbury's but they gave me 99p back because it was cheaper in Morrison's or somewhere.

I hate the way Robinson's Orange is now, you could nearly drink it without diluting it! I preferred it when it made your teeth shiver :lol:

I've found something similar with various types of squashes and cordials - these days you seem to need to use a lot to get the same taste. This is despite me drinking say only plain water for a few weeks and then returning to orange squash. I currently use the double-concentrated stuff.

Can drink either but prefer with Juicy bits and normallyn only buy the "fresh" stuff - tastes nicer than the loner life stuff

However if the costs increase to much I will have to go back to drinking beer
