Andrew thinks he remembers it. <BR/><BR/>I didn't realize your mom still bought boxed juice because our family switched over so long ago.<BR/><BR/>Of course, you guys also drank Kool-Aid and we never, ever bought that, either. :)Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08631734965938273438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624978.post-4856486198610222272009-03-06T13:22:00.000-05:002009-03-06T13:22:00.000-05:00What do you mean, "When boxed juice was popular"? ...What do you mean, "When boxed juice was popular"? Except for orange juice, all the juice my mom buys is boxed. I thought it was just Canadian. You never see boxed juice here (in the US), but you see it at home all the time. And it is so yummy... I have yet to find apple juice as good as the boxed Sun-rype apple juice. :)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06422928216495189669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624978.post-30092787623968779172009-03-04T12:39:00.001-05:002009-03-04T12:39:00.001-05:00That's probably exactly what it was, Lindsey. :)That's probably exactly what it was, Lindsey. :)Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08631734965938273438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624978.post-1615739570035146052009-03-04T12:39:00.000-05:002009-03-04T12:39:00.000-05:00my mom put in four cans of water in the juice too ...my mom put in four cans of water in the juice too - maybe it was a sutherland st thing :PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624978.post-72959684153889976802009-03-02T11:59:00.000-05:002009-03-02T11:59:00.000-05:00Thanks for the extra noodle tip!

I am always one of those that follows the directions to the tee when I do juice or other boxed dinners, etc. But I like the idea of the juice lasting longer.

Now they have the nifty little cap and tab set up, which means that you can never get all of the juice out.

I asked her why and she said to keep the germs out! I then, in all my seventeen year old wit and charm said: "But Grandma, didn't you know, Saran Wrap is permeable!" The next time we came to visit, she had the margarine lids...<BR/>Then there was the wet garbage and the dry garbage, and the compost, and the turning of the fans!
