I've seen/tasted 'em all degrade in quality. Florida oranges, Texasweet
grapefruit, Georgia peaches, etc. While Sunkist Growers was
originally a CA-based coop, it's now part of the Pepsico conglomerate
and probably gets its fruit from all over the world. Sunkist navel
oranges usta be considered "the best". Pay a little extra and get a
no-fail orange. Until about 5 yrs ago, that is.....

Regardless of where the fruit comes from, now, it's nice to see
Sunkist brand oranges return to the level quality they were once
famous for.
