What is said about it

3 statements, by date (the events above are the turns of the thread; these are the details).

  • 2021-07-02 · So...Orange Juice isn't What it Seems… — Hank lists common presuppositions: squeezing oranges is expensive but best, greenest and healthiest; concentrate is cheap and worse; bottled juice is the healthier, greener obvious choice. — 00:00:13
  • 2021-07-02 · So...Orange Juice isn't What it Seems… — Hank says concentrate's reputation as a subpar product for people who can't afford better is wrong: if you drink orange juice, which you probably shouldn't, it is equally healthy, tasty and bad for the environment, and much cheaper. — 00:00:32
  • 2021-07-02 · So...Orange Juice isn't What it Seems… — Hank: In a taste test with a Dorito as palate cleanser, Hank finds Simply Orange and concentrate both good; fresh squeezed is delicious, and compared with it the other two taste exactly the same. (playful) — 00:00:54
