Uh-oh Orange juice is about to hit the ceiling.

[MonsterD]

Crap glad I got some a few days ago, it already is over 10% higher than it was months ago now I wonder how high it is going to be.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Orange juice futures surged Tuesday amid fears the U.S. government could ban Brazilian oranges after low levels of fungicide were detected by a juice company.March orange juice futures jumped 9.6%, or 20 cents, to $2.0775 a pound on the ICE Futures Exchange, which traders said was the highest level since 1977."My guess is that they will ban Brazilian oranges," said Tod McElhaney, president of LaSalle Futures Group. "If that happens, you would certainly see a lessening of supplies that could push prices higher." [....

Good thing I don't buy orange juice.:)

[vta]

What hasn't? It's been creeping along, but it's been steady. Milk, eggs, all have steadily risen.
I went to buy bacon last week, over $7.00 for a package.

It's a war on breakfast!

We buy turkey bacon for $1.25 a package. It's a specific brand that seems to taste better than the others, though I can't recall the brand we buy right now.

It's better for you too. ;)

[notherbob]

Processed orange juice of any kind is gross. If I want orange juice I buy oranges and squeeze it myself.

If you doubt this, Google Dr. Mercola orange juice and discover the truth for yourself.

Completely agree. The first time I drank juice that I squeezed from fresh oranges, my eyes were opened. It was great.

I never had turkey bacon, I'll have to give it a try.

[Sam I Am]

If you like sausage try these too. They freaking own! (far better than turkey bacon IMO) They are as good as regular breakfast sausage. I think we get 2 packages for $3. I think they have like 8 or 10 patties in each.

Not just you,but everybody. For the longest time,the word inflation wasn't thrown out there very much. But believe me,if you paid attention to the prices in the grocery store the last couple of years,you know that it's been with us for awhile. Pay attention to the prices of just about everything.
Hmmm.....Turkey bacon???? Gonna have to try that!

Mess with a mans bacon, you're just asking for trouble... Yeah, my bill has grown exponentially in the last year or so and I have noticed.

And Sam I Am, the only sausage I eat with breakfast is chorizo. It's pricey but well worth it.

There is a reason that you are paying $1.25 . It's no good . Being from the South, I was raised to honor the pig . :laugh2:
To the OP's post , OJ price going up is no biggie , but if you hear the same on Coke , please post . Then I will go in full panic mode .

You haven't noticed the price of Cokes and all soft drinks going up? You used to be able to catch them on sale for $2.50 a 12 pack,but not anymore. It's normally around $3.00 a 12 or more,and of course their newest trick is charging you what you used to pay for a 24 pack,but now it's the "new&improved" 20 pack,or even 18 pack!! They have a 30 pack out now,but it's still high. It's all in the packaging,don't ya know?

+1 on the chorizo,but can't get good chorizo up here in the mountains. I normally splurge on Nantahala pan sausage,produced by a sausage company in Franklin,NC. Damn good!

Of course you can... Chorizo (http://www.dartagnan.com/51179/565805/Sausages--Hot-Dogs/Chorizo-Sausage.html). ;)

These are very good.

Rule 47a of Cowboyszone.com. No soft drink; carbonated, still, or any derivative thereof, will ever be referred to as "pop".

We need a whole thread on regional names for different products. Native Texan here, my family always called any soft drink a "Coke" and I still do. Not too far north of where I am in Oklahoma, they call it "pop". I think it's most midwesterners (and maybe most everyone else) who call it "soda".

I'm from southeastern Ohio and no one I know calls it soda, we all call it pop. I always though soda was a southwestern thing because I had a friend from arizona who called it soda.

It's been a while, so I probably just got it wrong. :)

Soda may be southwestern... A friend of mine whose dad is from West Texas calls it soda, too.

I remember when I was a kid, the father of one of my friends always called it a "soda water". Not sure where he was from originally.

I love the regionalisms, though... Like sneakers vs. tennis shoes, sack vs. bag, and of course the Houston-only "feeder" for access roads.

I'm originally from Texas and I refer to what I want to drink by it's individual product name. If I'm referring to the genre as a whole, I'll call it a soda.

I'm currently living in Seattle and it is referred to as pop up here. That is definitely one term I will never use.

[CoCo]

Moved from NY state to Colorado during my junior high years.

I think soft drinks were always pop in both places but sneakers became tennies, Gym class became P.E. and yearbook's became annuals.

To this day I refuse to call them tennies or any such derivative. But I've dropped the sneakers label too for running shoes, hoops shoes etc.

[jnday]

:eek: That's a lot of pop dude.:laugh2:

Not enough IMO . I'm an addict . What can I say ?:)

[ologan]

Pop's married to Mom! Soft drinks are referred to as either their brand name. Some non purists also refer to them as "Sodeee Pop".

[Faerluna]

Growing up in Nebraska, it was pop. When I moved to NY it became soda. It's still soda in Virginia.

Same thing here even if it's a Pepsi :laugh1:

[Sam I Am]

Yeah, as a kid Dr. Pepper was king in my family, but when someone ask what you want to drink. Coke.

It would come back to bite you when you went to a restaurant though. You had to make sure you ordered the Dr. Pepper properly or you would get an actual Coke. :laugh2:

[BrAinPaiNt]

Having lived in different areas and been around people from different areas we have always had the coke/pepsi soda/pop debates. On occasion if I wanted a coke/pepsi/soda/pop I would be a smart alec and say...I will take a non alcoholic carbonated beverage. :D

I am pretty sure I would not have to worry about getting that.:laugh2:

On a related note. It is funny how many different areas have the whole coke/pepsi/soda/pop thing but you really don't have that problem with beer.

With beer you either ask for a beer or a name brand of beer. Might be a few variations here or there but most of the time it is pretty much the same around different areas.
