Ranking Store-Bought Orange Juices From Worst To Best
BY Sara Klimek
15. SunnyD
The thin and sports drink-like SunnyD Tangy Original has a watered-down orange soda flavor. Plus, the taste of the high fructose corn syrup is pretty predominant.
Simply's Light OJ swaps sugar for stevia leaf extract to reduce its calorie count. Sadly, it's too watery, with the cloying stevia overpowering any notes of real orange.
Nature's Nectar Light is a watery, tangerine-colored OJ with a mildly stronger orange flavor and a slightly lower price than Simply Light, but it's twice as sweet.
At a whopping $9.29 per bottle, Uncle Matt's OJ tastes like a cheap, from-concentrate juice. It offers a mild tang but lacks robustness and has a strong sweetness.
Stop & Shop's OJ is nicely thick, but its smell and taste indicate it's juice from concentrate. It has some tartness but tastes stale, plasticky, and cloying.
