    Interesting! I'm guessing that the painting included in this post isn't orange juice related. :)

    I tried to figure out the painting. Is that Florida being conquered by someone? I can't drink orange juice, it gives me heartburn. Thanks for reminding me.

    I drank frozen OJ as a kid, but there is no frozen concentrated OJ here in NZ - I don't think I have ever seen it here.
