Well, technology has changed the game up. You don't have to be big and brawny to survive.

Oh good call. I like beer and sometimes even I'm "overwhelmed" but I still pick one (or two).

It's the over the top dramatics that gets annoying. The mere fact that he lumped "Sunny D" in with orange juice is where I would have stopped reading. I had to pick up OJ 2 weeks ago and it is overwhelming to the extent that there are so many choices. But, like any choice in life it's process of elimination.

I don't like pulp. Boom, we eliminated half of the choices.
I don't like added calcium (affects the flavor), just knocked another two out of contention.
I don't like my OJ from concentrate. Great we're now down to about 3 choices.

Tropicana, Florida's Natural, and Simply Orange.

Next step, and this is crucial, look at the price tag, pick the one with the smallest number.

This entire process lasts 15 seconds...tops!

He most likely grew up demanding Play Dough Therapy, had an emotional support pet, went to his safe space/crying room to let his feelings out, and was pampered by parents and teachers, and got some trophies for just showing up.

For me the choice is simple. I only want the pulp ones with no added sugar or preservatives. Done. Most times I walk out empty handed. The stuff is hard to find and in short supply. It's the only one that makes a decent Lindauer mix ..... But it is whole peeled oranges pulped. Great stuff! But scarce

Freshly squeezed is the way to go. All the pasteurized in the carton OJ has much of nutrients cooked away. It is basically sugar water.

-according to some guy YT.

No it's not. "Strong men" and "strongman" are not the same thing.

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.

Please tell us you don’t read the leftist Atlantic. That magazine is well known as a threat to democracy.

That's quite a stretch. Talk about mental gymnastics. Thanks for the laugh.
