Why is so difficult to find plain pineapple juice?

[debodun]

I was thinking I'd like some PJ and looked for it when I shopped. They have all blends with other juices:
pineapple/mango
pineapple/orange
pineapple/orange/coconut
pineapple/orange/guava and
pineapple/orange/apple

Why is everything so fancy now? Do juice makers ever consider some people may want just plain pineapple?

WalMart... they also have a refrigerated version... both under $5. No added sugar.

Maybe try another grocery store.
It might be made from concentrate.

The local Wegman’s has it in large cans and bottles.

It reminds me of church and wedding shower punch recipes.

This is an easy one!

Maybe try another grocery store.

Looks like I'll have to, but the next closest grocery is another 6 miles away and WalMart is 12 miles. If I get thirsty enough for PJ, I'll have to do it.

I fondly remember opening those cans of juice.

Maybe you could ask the store to get some in for you.

Mm-mmm-mmm....."church punch". I remember it fondly; ginger ale, pineapple juice, some fruit and a big chunk of sherbet floating in the bowl. I remember going to a wedding shower somewhere and didn't realize that there was booze in the church punch. That was gooood stuff.

I used to make homemade sangria for parties. Cheap red wine, pineapple juice, orange juice, lemonade, limeade, crushed fruit, vodka if I wanted it to be REALLY alcoholic, ginger ale if I wanted it to be fizzy. It wasn't church punch.....at least any church I attended.....

It is hiding beside the tomato juice…

Punch was fun when I was young and broke.

This jello punch was always a hit.

1 cup sugar
2(3 ounce) packages red Jell-O
12 ounces frozen lemonade concentrate
46 ounces pineapple juice
1⁄2gallon water
2 liters ginger ale
1 lemon, thinly sliced for garnish

Dissolve jello in two cups boiling water, add lemonade concentrate and remaining 6 cups water, chill or freeze, add ginger ale and lemon slices at serving time.

It's even more fun when spiked with a fifth of vodka.

This is what can happen with Aunt Bea's punch!
