WTB canned non-concentrate OJ in Atlanta?

October 24, 2010 11:20 AM

Does any Atlanta retailer sell canned non-concentrate Minute Maid orange juice, such as that which you get from the drink cart on airplanes? I'm NOT referring to canned Minute Maid orange juice from concentrate that can be found in grocery freezers, and the 8oz plastic bottles on store shelves are not what I need either.

I'd like to surprise someone who is having pregnancy cravings for aluminum-tasting orange juice. Thanks!

This is the same stuff that is sold in some vending machines, right? I'd say you'd have better luck finding it in a vending machine than in a store. For some reason I seem to remember seeing it at the Atlantic Station IKEA vending machine (the one by the elevators across from the checkout), but I could be really wrong.

I've only ever seen them in vending machines.

Nth the vending machine. I think that's a pepsico product - you might want to call the distributor and see where they might stock them.

I'm wrong it's a coke product, but I'd still call the distributor.

Coca-Cola, actually. There must be some in Atlanta!

Around here (Canada) you can sometimes get it in 12 packs in the soft drinks aisle of the supermarket.

Eagle Vending stocks it - call them on Monday to find out which location might have it for you.

Just so you know, the canned ready-to-drink orange juice is probably from concentrate as well. The cans in the freezer are the concentrate itself rather than being from concentrate.

Phone Minute Maid at 888 884 8952 to ask them.

I think "Minute Maid" inherently equals "from concentrate." I'm not aware that any of their products are not from concentrate.

Echoing the fact that the cans you are looking for are going to be orange juice from concentrate. I don't think Minute Maid makes orange juice products that aren't from concentrate.

Wrong. (I'm pretty sure the canned stuff is, though.)

That's from the Canadian Minute Maid website though. The American website doesn't have that product listed.

It's not Minute Maid, but this from Sam's Club looks like what you're hunting:
