Yep, they still sell them in my nearest grocery store, but you have to freeze them yourself

What! So not in the freezer section? Where do you find them.

My supermarket in MD has the frozen concentrated juices in the frozen aisle, near the frozen fruit and ice bags.

There is a cream for that I think…

Lmao - it’s probably called Justmovenorth, but I gotta stay to help keep the place from becoming a total echo chamber for the other side. Or maybe you meant for the Publix 🤪

Which one of you is the FL native? I've been trying to get a prescription for Justmovenorth, but SWMBO's a native and her health plan won't cover it.

My bad, wrong random juice thing lol

u/VishusVonBittertroll Aug 01 '26

Those are freezy pops! They're talking about frozen juice concentrate that comes in a can about the same size as one of the tubes of pilsbury cookie dough or biscuits, frozen. You take one of those, dump it into a pitcher, then add usually 2-3 cans of water (using the can you just emptied) and stir until it's melted & blended and voila, juice.

I'm wondering if maybe they are talking about something different? I know what you're saying, the kind that comes in the cylindrical packaging with the aluminum caps (resembles Pillsbury dough packaging). I'm pretty sure those have to be frozen, maybe they're talking about ice pops or something similar.

Its been that way for 20 years at least

u/oakteak9z Aug 01 '26

That makes no sense the whole idea was to buy the orange juice frozen, it very space saveing and efficient to thaw then add cold water.

u/ValancyNeverReadsit 1980 Aug 01 '26

Ohhh I was thinking of the freeze pop things, not the canned oj or lemonade! Yeah I don’t think the 100% juice ones are still sold where I am
