If you ordered Fresh Orange Juice

[EvergreenForest]

Real situation....in a coffee shop now.

On the fence about this.

Very artisanal place, fresh cakes etc. menu says 'fresh orange juice'

What would you expect to be served?

People that call squash “juice” are actual sociopaths honestly

That'll be pretty much the whole of Scotland then...

For that price, I would expect something like Tropicana or similar, poured from a bottle (but not an individual bottle), I'm guessing you got one of those little cartons that comes with a straw

If it tastes disgusting then send it back? It’s probably been open too long and has gone offn

I'd expect chilled (not pasteurised) not from concentrate orange juice. The only place I've ever been that actually squeezes its own juice is one of those smoothie bar places.

Is that a white ring around the top of the juice inside the glass? Trying to work out if it's a fizz/froth or a trick of the light.

If it is a white ring it is probably off, hence the bad taste.

lol .. This

I would expect fresh orange juice poured from a carton,I wouldn't expect someone to stand there pressing oranges. It'd say "freshly squeezed orange juice" if it was pressed oranges. If I was really particular I'd clarify what it was.

I would expect juice from a carton for £2.80.

"fresh Orange" distinguishes it from orange squash in my book.

Please send it back. Its probably off.
Don't pay for that!

Fresh at that price? The refrigerated juice eg Tropicana. Would expect to pay at least a pound more for squeeze to order

Tropicana

I would also expect Tropicana style.Unless it specifically stated 'freshly squeezed' and I'd expect them to be making it from oranges.
Send it back if it doesn't taste right though.

Fresh should mean freshly squeezed from actual fruit, but like others have said, I always check because some places seem to think fresh juice means freshly poured from a mass produced carton.

Looks a weird colour!

My Lidl has just put in a orange squeezer, juicer thing. Misses point I was just surprised

Im not a big orange juice fan but have had fresh orange juice once on holiday.

It was gritty, lumpy and grizley... not that nice to be honest.

I wouldn't expect freshly squeezed unless it said freshly squeezed. Fresh orange juice generally just means actual juice rather than squash/sweetened 'juice drink' imo. The price related to how much it would cost to buy in a supermarket and serve it yourself is no guide. If it were, a cup of tea in a café would cost a few pence!

Are you calling the people of Scotland sociopaths?

Most cold drinks here are 'juice' except milk and water. You get fizzy juice (cola, irn bru, lemonade, etc), diluting juice (squash), fresh juice, etc

Another Scot here- yes juice can mean many things- "can you get me some juice"
I may ask my OH- "I'll have a lemonade" is reasonable to us.

Juice is pretty much all soft drinks here- from juice squeezed freshly, carton fresh orange, cordials, squash, carbonated - we call them all juice.

Coke is a type of juice too!

For £2.80, I'd expect (cheap) juice from a carton.
If it was priced at the £5-7 mark, I'd probably have hoped for freshly squeezed, but wouldn't have that surprised if it was just high end juice from a carton.

I would have asked if it was freshly squeezed.

But they are being a bit misleading.

I agree.

They probably feel the price is justified by the size of the glass. But who needs that much juice?! Smaller portion and better quality OR cheaper would be preferable

In Scotland, everything is Juice.

Fruit Juice, Fizzy Juice and Juice.

You'd love it there. My English DH hates asking my parents for a drink and always just asks for Water! (Which I now call Tap Juice just to wind him up!)

Probably expect Tropicana from my experience although for thst price it should be freshly squeezed

I really hate this. Stops me buying orange juice out and about unless I know exactly what it is. I find cheaper orange juice awful, but cheaper apple juice is more drinkable. If in doubt, pick apple.
