The History of Orange Juice

Our history begins in the 1920s in the orange groves of Florida. At that point, this juice wasn’t a key actor on the breakfast table stage. It played only walk-on parts in luxurious homes. Then farming became industrialized which resulted in mass-production of oranges. Marketers put their thinking caps on to figure out how to sell all this fruit. Who would’ve ever guess that they got celebrities involved to tout the health benefits of orange juice? Like that ever happens. They began making wild claims that it was a cure-all for mostly everything. Guess what? It worked! Americans began buying orange juice in droves. Then, during World War 2, the US army became concerned about scurvy and it’s cause of tooth loos amidst troops; vitamin C rich orange juice became a ready solution which resulted in the further establishment of orange juice as a main staple. I don’t think you could find a more American juice: Industrialization, Celebrities, and World War 2! So, there you have it, The History of Orange Juice!
