Checked it out.  But doesn't really matter, as OJ is something that we
tend to avoid anyway, for other reasons...  :)  Grapefruit juice,
however...  ;)

True on the falling down at times...  Generally, though, when/if called
on it, something is done... after all, they put their pledge on the
packaging...  ;)

Quite possibly...
