The only problem is Charlie and David don’t drink Orange Juice the way I think they should How about you. Do you drink orange Juice if so how many times and why. Today is also Star Wars Day and my sister’s birthday. Would you help me wish her a Happy Birthday before Charlie and I go study Star Wars in our Homeschool Classes this morning.
Orange Juice is one of the most popular breakfast drinks in America and Orange Juice gets the love and appreciation it is due here, on National Orange Juice Day! Simple and delicious, Orange Juice is beloved by so many and, without adding Sugar, Orange Juice is also fairly healthy as well.
Prior to the 1920s, Orange Juice was a bit of a luxury because Orange Juice is required to having access to fresh Oranges, which could be difficult to find during that time. Unless a person lived in Florida where Orange trees grow on almost every corner and in everyone’s yard. But fortunately, as flash-pasteurization and the canning process became more possible, Orange Juice started becoming readily available to people all throughout the United States.
Orange Juice is the official beverage of the state of Florida, and Orange Juice already gets a decent amount of attention. But on National Orange Juice Day, it’s time for the whole Country to get involved in celebrating this delicious and nutritious beverage. If you aren’t busy this morning would you like to have a glass of Orange Juice with me?
