I’m not very fond of squash, and water can get boring so I always make sure there’s a fresh fruit juice in the fridge. I often see Tropicana drinks in the buy one get one free range but often enough they are over priced, especially at small convenience stores. But if you get it in the supermarkets (Tesco, Asda etc.) they can be reasonably priced.
THE TASTE: ----------- I have tried many of the Tropicana drinks before this one so when I first tried this it tasted a little strange. It was tangy and sweet at first but once I tasted a small glass I immediately wanted more. As it says on the carton it is 100% pure fruit juice blend of orange, pineapple, white grape, passion fruit and kiwi with flavours. You get all these tastes, which make it interesting, if you’re bored of the usual pure orange juice. Overall, a very nice taste. I will also say that it smells like all the fruit in it, and it smells lovely.
THE PACKAGING: ----------------- The packaging looks good and is eye catching on the shelf. The drink is contained in a 1L carton as most juice drinks do these days. The background has tropical leaves and the front shows pictures of some of the fruits that are in the drink. The Tropicana tropics logo is at the top and centre of the carton and is repeated on all sides. One side contains the usual nutritional information and tells you a bit about Tropicana. The other side tells you a little bit about the other flavours in the Tropicana range.
NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION: -------------------------- For 100ml: Energy 55kcal Fat: 0g Vitamin C: 15mg=25%RDA
That's all I will put, as I don't want to bore you.
VALUE FOR MONEY: ------------------ I picked this particular one up at tesco for £1.49, which is quite reasonable. In the past there have been many buy one get one free on the Tropicana range and i'm sure there will be a few more offers in the future. I did see this in a local convenience store for a rip-off price of £2.29 and I wouldn't pay that much. The drink is tasty and you get 1l of drink, which equal 4 250ml servings. I would also recommend the other flavours in the tropics range.
EXTRA INFORMATION: ------------ Other juices in the Tropicana tropics range: TROPICAL ORNGE PINEAPPLE MANGO
Tropicana also do pure orange juice and other flavours but these are not tropics.
The Tropicana juice range seems to be expanding all the time. I have been drinking their, pure, feshly squeezed orange juices for some time. I can't recall when I first started seeing the arrival of the juice blends, ie made up form a number of fruits, but I took to them with great gusto.
Recently I began checking out the nutrional information of the food/drink I buy. The first surprise that came to me from the Tropicana orange, kiwi and passion ... ...proportion of the ingredients.
The tropicana name, to me is associated with fresh squeezed juices, the fact that this one is made from concentrate is well hidden in green on green writing, very clever really, it fooled me for a while. I suppose that is a compliment to the taste of the stuff, it doesn't taste like its from concentrate. Oh and it cost about £1.69 at Sainsburys, however, they currently have it on sale at £1.19. ...

Advantages: Taste - orange juice with a different, very refreshing Disadvantages: Made form concentrated fruit juice rather than freshly squeezed
...could not be tempted by Tropicana Tropics? The very name conjures up images of palm trees and white tropical sands…
For those of us not fortunate enough to be lounging around on a Tropical beach, I can highly recommend Tropicana Tropics Orange Kiwi Passion.
It is described on the pack as being: 100% Pure Fruit Juice Blend of Orange, Pineapple, White Grape, Passion Fruit and Kiwi with Flavours and yes, it is delicious! Think gorgeous smooth ... ...is easily recognisable as a Tropicana product and does look pretty similar to other Tropicana products. The front of pack says Tropicana Tropics (with the Tropicana bit being the usual Tropicana logo) and then underneath that, Orange Kiwi Passion. There are then pictures of Orange, Kiwi and Passion Fruit underneath. Beneath the pictures, in smaller writing it says: 100% Pure Fruit Juice Blend of Orange, Pineapple, White Grape, Passion Fruit and Kiwi ...

Quick review of Tropicana Tropics
I am very fond of the orange, kiwi, passion fruit mixture primarily because of the passion fruit. However my local supermarkets in Long Island and even the convenience stores in NYC that previously carried it no longer do. I was told by King Kullen that it was no longer available. I keep looking. I communicated with the customer service rep at Tropiciana and she said it was not discontinued. I think passion fruit may be getting scarce. Other products with passion fruit from Goya and Looza are also out of stock at my local markets. ...

Advantages: Made from 100% squeezed oranges. Disadvantages: None, it is all good.
Tropicana Premium Smooth No Bits orange juice is the perfect accompaniment to any breakfast whether it be a big Sunday morning fry up or a quick slice of toast.
The carton I have has is the smooth variety and contains no bits which is not really a preference over the variety with the juicy bits, I just picked this carton up first! The carton itself contains 1 litre of orange juice and is made of cardboard. Details printed on the carton include that the orange juice is 100% pure squeezed and not made from concentrate. Nutritional information is provided per 200ml serving (86 calories, 18g sugar, 0g fat, 0g saturates, 0g salt), advice that the orange juice should be kept refrigerated, contact details (see the end of the review) and that the carton is recyclable.
The very fact that the ingredients list states that the product only ...
Advantages: Multi-Vitamins, extra Calcium Disadvantages: Artificial taste, higher price than cow's milk
with So Good added:
It had similar fate as mentioned above; the tea wasn?t really tea any more. One precious Tetley teabag was wasted.
Cereal with So Good:
I put So Good in a bowl of Quaker?s Sugar Puffs. The overall taste of the cereal was acceptable. I had no complaints.
Milkshake made from So Good:
As I don?t have a blender, I just mixed Tropicana's tropical fruit juice and sugar into a glass of So Good. The ?milkshake? tasted surprisingly smooth; quite satisfactory.
Tomato soup mixed with So Good:
A can of Campbell's condensed tomato soup and 300ml So Good were heated in a saucepan; they blended very well. In the end, it was delicious creamy soup enough for two people.
So Good on its own:
So Good has its unique taste which is not so much the taste of soya milk, and not quite the taste of dairy milk. No, thanks! It can never ...

250ml - £0.79p
330ml - £0.98p
1ltr - £1.68p
1.75ltrs - £2.47p
These prices vary slightly (by pennies) depending on the type of Tropicana chosen.
