“The two main juice producers are Florida in the United States and the state of São Paulo in Brazil. Production of orange juice between these two makes up roughly 85% of the world market, using nearly 12 quadrillion oranges per year.[4] Brazil exports 99 percent of its production, while 90 percent of Florida's production is consumed in the United States.[5]“

to get 16 oz (four 4 oz servings) takes about eight oranges. it's common to spend $8 on juicy, good quality oranges. you could get by with spending $5 on crappier oranges but it doesn't taste as good.

a carton of tropicana or florida's natural will be cheaper but as is now well-known, that shit is fake juice, manufactured at industrial scale and flavored with packets to get consistent taste.

8 oranges = 560 calories. but that counts eating the orange, not just the juice. the pulp that remains behind contains some calories. so it's really less, maybe 500 calories

also, note that i'm using 8 oranges to make 4 servings. so each person is drinking 2 oranges worth of juice

When I get a bottle of OJ I pound the whole thing in like 30 seconds.
