Wonder what kind of environmental damage would happen if one crashed. Are they properly prepared for a captain having one too many screwdrivers?
Interesting, but I only really trade in frozen concentrated orange juice futures.
How are the crop reports looking?
It really depends on which version of the report got delivered.
Beeks! What happened to Beeks?
Terrible…but due to the “Eddie Murphy Rule”, you have to be careful how you use such information.
Have you looked into gourds? I heard lots of good things about them.
hi, what does this reference? Ive been seeing oranges vs gourds for some time now
thank you sir
Pretty wild! I suppose it’s efficient or they wouldn’t be doing it.
As to environmental damage? Probably a small blast radius. OJ is mildly acidic, but like sulphric acid, citric acid is highly soluble in water (what’s the chemistry term for that?!). If there’s any water movement, it’s going to disperse with the quickness. Be a bad scene if it got in a bay or somewhere where the water is relatively stagnant, but still, it dilutes fast.
Plus, marine life can be tougher than we think. It’s not comparable to a sensitive 55G tank in your living room. OTOH, fish kills are a thing. Crazy sardine kill on Hokkaido day before, probably from the earthquake.
No idea how the fructose dump would work out. 🤷🏻♂️

Seems to be, considering they are running several juice ships pretty much constantly. I imagine well handled frozen juice concentrate has a lower chance to spoil than whole fruit and takes up a lot less space, but packaging it in Brazil just to transport it to Australia isn’t worth it compared to shipping the juice, putting it on trucks, and letting Australia package it.

How else do we get ADHD dolphins?
I seem to remember milk is on a higher level of pollution danger than gasoline. I can’t (in a super quick Google) find confirmation of that, but I found this link talking about milk using up all the available oxygen in water and killing fish. I don’t imagine a billion gallons of OJ doing any favors to waterways.
I think it’s a matter of scales.
A tanker truck of milk can saturate a small stream, but a ship full of OJ is still a drop in the ocean.
Actually it would be a tanker ship in an ocean.
You’re a proponent of “dilution is the solution to pollution” I guess.
That’s pretty highfalutin!
A friend of mine worked on the control system for a new “Oranjoduct”. A bona fide refrigerated OJC to a port. It’s wild.
Username checks out. Also maybe naranjaduct?
Laranjoduto de São Paulo
Ah Portuguese. My Spanish proficiency is low enough.
Orange juice doesn’t really retain flavor for very long. Most use added flavors. If you’ve ever bought orange juice from an orchard in florida you’ll know the difference. Doesn’t seem to really be practical to do this but I guess people prefer non-frozen for the name at least.
Mostly seems to be shipping concentrate at exactly 0 degrees Celsius to Europe and Australia.
