Why does pineapple juice come in cans?

[MonkeyFunk]

Orange juice is refrigerated and comes in cartons and plastic jugs. Same for cranberry juice, apple juice, grapefruit juice...

But pineapple juice seems to only come in cans. I have to dig around to find an old-style can opener to even drink the stuff.

2. It comes in tetra packs

3. It might be the acidity of pineapples..

Or pasteurization. I lean toward the first.

4. Pineapple juice comes in cartons

All the other juices you mentioned can also be purchased in cans. Not all orange juice is refrigerated.

5. really?

I've never seen Orange Juice in cans.

Maybe I should shop for juice at a supermarket instead of a liquor store. :shrug:

13. Maybe your store carries different products than mine?

I buy this orange juice. It comes in large cans, like the grapefruit juice, I can't find the image for it though.

8. I come in cans.

Took me three goddamned years to fill up an 8-ouner of diet coke, man! I'm spent.

11. Careful. Cans have sharp edges.

[RandomKoolzip]

14. So do most of the women I know.

So I guess it's sort of a lateral move.

[Scarlett17]

9. I don't care how it's packaged. . .

it's good with vodka!

[crim son]

17. It's thought-provoking for sure

Almost makes you wonder, too, why they can pineapple chunks. OMG, and they put tuna and sardines in cans too! And tomatoes. OMG!

[MonkeyFunk]

20. yeah

but is there gluten in it?!?!?!?

Fuck the FDA!

[marzipanni]

23. What about frozen concentrate?

If you buy juice in a tin can you have to pour the rest of the juice into a pitcher or big jar anyway, or the can gives it a metallic taste.
I like getting juice frozen better than buying an acidic liquid in a plastic jug, maybe it leeches some stuff out of any kind of plastic, as well as the plastic lining metal cans.

TOXIC CHEMICAL BPA LEACHING INTO CANNED FOODS
An alarming new study from the Environmental Working Group analyzed samples of canned fruit, vegetables, soda, and baby formula on sale in the nation's supermarkets and found that more than 50% were tainted with a chemical linked to birth defects, ADHD and cancer. The chemical, bisphenol A (BPA), is an ingredient in plastics that lines food cans. According to the study, the chemical has been leaching into foods at levels up to 200 times the government's recommended "safe" level of exposure.

24. pineapple juice comes in cartons as well-

check the refrigerated section. the stuff in cans doesn't need to be refrigerated until opened. the stuff in cartons needs to stay cold always.

26. Because it's too hard to poke the straw through the skin.

No, canning is cheap in so many ways. Plus there are usually canneries near the pineapple plantations.

27. I Get It In Plastic Jugs

Trader Joe's pineapple juice comes in a plastic jug. The kind I got tonight is just a pineapple, complete with pineapple and juice.
