I don't really drink OJ, except the occasional mimosa. Too much sugar. But when I do drink it, I have a slight preference for low-pulp. I'm not completely grossed out by pulp, though.
Just coming in to say I really like the Trop50 (with 50% less sugar, etc.). For those that think it's too sugary, this is a good alternative! With no pulp of course.
No pulp, but I don't really drink juice once I realized that it was not nearly as healthy as my mom always acted like it was.
I know most fruit juices are just flavored sugar water, but I thought orange and other citrus juices were the exception? I could easily be wrong. We don't drink a ton of juice here either, pretty much only when I am pregnant because I like something with some flavor while I eat dinner and can't have my usual booze.

A glass of orange juice has nearly as much sugar as an equivalent size glass of soda. It still has the nutrients of the fruit (minus the fiber), so not quite the empty calories of soda, but not something that I would consider a "health food" for sure. You'd be much better off just to eat an orange.
I don't really drink OJ, or really most juices. But if I'm going to drink it, I prefer no pulp, low acid. And of course I prefer it with champagne.
I am drinking a little more juice now, since I've given up diet pop completely, and can't enjoy a glass of wine. Sometimes a glass of half juice/half water really hits the spot.
But, since I usually only drink it if my blood sugar crashes (I'm hypoglycemic) I pretty much take whatever form I can get. 'Cause really, if I'm at the point of needing OJ to prevent passing out, I'll drink anything you throw at me.

No pulp. G finally got that right the last time I got sick (the only time I really drink OJ). I won't drink it with pulp in it. But I have texture issues.

Or I could save money and just dilute OJ with water myself.
