Well that's one job of a writer, turn something boring into an article. He's probably a fairly decent writer, but I wouldn't care for his material or leftist views. A waste actually, cause his style seems to flow and is easy to follow (so many writers today suck). I don't know how he would ever pick craft beer btw.
I used to work with a guy who married a woman from Bulgaria and I remember her talking about this — she generally hates America (and, she was a Democrat of course) and cited all of the “choice” in America as a bad thing. So yes, these people exist. She’s definitely the type of person who young American Democrats look up to — born in another country with Communism in its history and hypercritical of America even though she lives here now.

My guess is, in fact, he didn't walk out without OJ. He's making commentary, and a point. It's just an opinion piece.
No, not the Bee, not The Onion. This pusscake is not only real but some woman thought he was marriage material.
Cringe alert!
"On a recent afternoon, while running errands before I had to pick up my kids from school, I froze in the orange-juice aisle of a big-box store. So many different brands lay before me: Minute Maid, Simply, Tropicana, Dole, Florida’s Natural, Sunny D—not to mention the niche organic labels. And each brand offered juices with various configurations of pulp, vitamins, and concentrate. The sheer plenitude induced a kind of paralysis: Overwhelmed by the choices on offer, I simply could not make one. I left the store without any orange juice....."
He's quite the provider
Could you imagine this guy providing for a family in the western territories, 19th century, LOL.
This is all the fault of capitalism, giving people the freedom to choose which brand of juice to buy. All this soy boy needed to do was buy at least one brand, Taste it, and over time he can see which one he likes. Problem solved.
I'm reminded of a sad story told by a North Korean who defected to south Korea. He said the first time he went to a grocery store he cried. He was overwhelmed by all the choices of food available to him. He didn't know how to choose one over the other. He didn't know which brand he was allowed to eat. He found himself wishing someone would just tell him what to buy and what to eat.
