We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

If the carton isn't lying and I'm getting "Real Florida Orange Juice," I sure hope it wasn't on a ship. That would be a wild logistics chain just to send it West.
But also: I can drive around orange orchards in my area. Where's the "Real California Orange Juice?" Motherfuckers be putting it on ships and sending it to Florida, I bet.
I think, and don't quote me on this - we grow better oranges in CA, so they are sold as actual oranges for eating.
Not necessarily better but definitely different, California has a dryer milder climate that renders a thicker peel and sweeter fruit in Valencia oranges which is a contrast to Florida's hotter and wetter climate producing juicier, tarter fruit with a thinner peel. But yes California has "table" oranges and Florida has "juice" oranges

Also California production is outpacing Florida production because of premature fruit drop due to climate change, and less available labor due to a migrant labor shortage.

Yo! Thanks for bringing the receipts. Love me some thicc sweet oranges.
I think you should go home now, Devin. Take a right on San Vincente, cross the bridge, then take the 405 north until you can’t take it anymore.
Whuuuuut are YEUNH doing heeeere?
That’s why I don’t like the oranges out west! Thanks for this TIL.
Grown in Florida, Peeled in Ecuador, packaged in China, sold in Utah.
Supposedly some of it goes to Oregon, but for the most part I think the US isn't part of this supply chain.
I'm just being silly 😋
