Tropicana's shady 89 oz. scheme

These fuckers think the public's stupid? Well, yes. And they're actually often right. But not Gary! Tropicana's the latest to "quietly" downsize their product. They used to have 96 oz. OJ...so what's this 89 oz. bullshit I first saw last weekend at my New England getaway? You can be sure it's the exact same price, though. More for less. And then tonight, a "well aren't they clever" moment as I clipped last Sunday's coupons. There's a dollar-off coupon for their NEW! Tropicana 86 oz. EASY POUR PITCHER. So they're distracting the public with a NEW! and EXCITING! product that'll...um, make it easier to pour. Yes, because on so many mornings of my life, i've cursed and sobbed over the arduous task of POURING ORANGE JUICE. WHY, WHY is it so hard?! Can't they PLEASE reduce the ounces in this jug, charge the same price, but make the task of POURING easier for me?! And their genius idea was to attach the cap. THIS is what constitutes EASY pouring. I guess far too many American families were misplacing their orange juice caps and then had to dump the OJ down the drain. This will now ease that burden. Thank you, Tropicana. Working hard to squeeze all the juice it can from our wallets behind the guise of a stupid ass gimmick.
