Plan for the Next Ice Age With Florida Orange Juice! #FloridaOJ

 
Ice Age 4 is coming out in a couple of weeks and Florida Orange Juice is helping the family get ready for the show. The twins, the whole family really, loves all three Ice Age films and can't wait to see it in theaters on the 13th of July.


We heard that Florida Orange Juice was hosting demos at our local Walmart this weekend to help promote Ice Age 4, so we went over to have a look and taste.  Whenever we think about orange juice, we think of Florida, because they grow the sweetest oranges and make the best orange juice. During our last vacation, to Florida, we couldn't get enough of the orange juice and every time we miss the sun and the sand it just takes a cold glass of orange juice to bring me right back there. 

The twins love the taste of 100% Florida orange juice, and who can blame them. Add a little something to orange juice and its not just a drink anymore but a meal or treat.  Saturday we had the chance to try Minute Maid and Florida Natural brands of orange juice, both regular brands in our home. Rarely though do we have more than one brand at a time, so a taste test was on-- Florida Natural won all three of us over because it was like biting into a super ripe, super sweet orange right off the branch (it is 100% juice after all)!
The taste test was on!
Catherine and Christine get so serious about taste tests sometimes-- you would think we were at a wine tasting conference, lol.   They could drink it all day.
Catherine considers Minute Maid.
After Saturday all of us are really excited about the next film, Ice Age 4: Continental Divide, so we decided to plan an Ice Age Marathon for later this week. And with any good marathon there needs to be treats! Since its Ice Age, and Florida Orange Juice (FOJ) got us in the mood, we are going to go with the Ice Cold Orange Juice Smoothies and Orange Frostie Sticks recommended by FOJ.     
Thanks for the bright idea!
