Orange Juice

I am one of those people that if I see people on TV eating or drinking something, I immediately want it. Most of the time, I'm not even hungry when this happens and sometimes, it's foods I don't even like! It seems kind of crazy to me but I am sure there are other people like me out there. The one thing that I notice most commonly is orange juice. I think there's something about the color and the fact that every character seems to have it with breakfast that makes it so appealing. In reality, I don't like orange juice that much and I despise the pulp kind. But if I watch enough TV with orange  juice in it, suddenly that's what I have to have. Then the next time I'm at the store, I pick up a carton (pulp free of course) and I get so excited and pour a big glass of it when I get home. That's when I remember that I don't really like orange juice. Maybe a couple sips are good and refreshing but after that, it's a struggle to finish the carton. I would also like to point out that the color of orange juice happens to be my favorite color (this probably isn't important to the fact that I want it so much).

I've actually had freshly squeezed orange juice before (boy, is that a lot of work!) and even with straining out the pulp, it still doesn't taste that delicious. I'd rather have apple juice (which I know isn't as healthy for you). The strange thing is, I really like oranges. There was a time when I was having one nearly every day. How can someone like oranges but not orange juice? They're basically the same thing except one is slightly more solid!

Okay I know this was an odd post but I just had to get this off my chest. I so desperately wished I liked orange juice more.
