stickmakerI like orange juice with pulp in it. Minute Maid used to make a Country Style which I really liked. Now, I can't find it. In fact, the only Minute Maid orange juice (besides specialty blends like High Calcium) I can get is specifically marked Low Pulp.
It was around for years. Now it's either discontinued, or Kroger's simply isn't stocking it. Pulp adds texture, flavor and fiber. Why would it be discontinued?! And none of the other brands seem to produce anything equivalent.
I get this over and over. A product I like - maybe new, maybe old - is no longer available, and people either don't know why or the reason they give doesn't make sense.
"Well, nobody bought it." Yeah? They why was it always either not in stock or you only had a few?
I think this is like the reason _Gilligan's Island_ got taken off the air, when everyone expected a fourth season, due to the ratings. (The network head's wife liked _Gunsmoke_.)
