Orange juice.
Now, this is an important question:

With pulp? Or without?
I love OJ with LOTS of pulp. I can't STAND OJ with no pulp.

I actually prefer with some pulp -- I'm one of the few people I know -- but these days I'm drinking OJ supplemented with calcium, and that usually comes without.
Does it taste better while pregnant? I found that OJ was super-yummy when I was pregnant. And I have a friend who could write sonnets about it.

Really are long-lost cousins! God I love OJ so much, and I love pulp in.

Orange juice! Oh man. The beverage that rivals beer.

Of course pulp. As if it was a question.

The more pulp the better! My favorite is Simply Orange with extra pulp!

Pulp is wrong. The only acceptable solid in a drink is ice.

I don't really have a strong pulp preference. I like OJ fine both with and without pulp.

Also, I love Google today.
I used to hate gravity because it would not let me fly. Now I realize it is gravity that lets me stand.

(in response to my own question) I tend to get it with pulp, but mostly because I enjoy things being different than the norm, and people tend to get more insulted when you have pulp than if you don't, so you never get orange juice with pulp if you don't buy it yourself. It's just more fun to mix things up! Orange juice in general is delicious.

I never realized pulp was so divisive of a topic. It seems like you either LOVE pulp, or you LOATHE it. not many people in the middle on this topic.

Yeah, it's one of those things. It's why I framed it as such a serious questions. People who don't like it really don't.

For those of you with spouses, SOs, roommates, or family members who stand opposite you on the shores of the Pulp War, how do you reconcile your juice purchases? Do you avoid buying juice altogether? Does one of you always have to concede to the other side? Do you each get your own juice?

David is a pulp lover. Juice is a splurge for us; we loooooooove it but don't buy it very often. When we DO buy it, David takes one for the team and lets me get no pulp because of how much I truly despise it. When he's sick, though, I buy him the pulp explosion OJ. Everyone deserves the OJ of their choice when they're sick.

Luckily, Will's not a huge fan of orange juice, so when we buy it, it's with pulp

I like my pulp, but my wife doesn't, so I drink pulp free. It's clearly easier for the pulp drinker to take one for the team and go pulpless than it is to go in the other direction. I love OJ in either form, but if given the choice I'll pick pulp every time.

I hate pulp. My wife loves it. Usually, we go pulp-free (I drink OJ more than she does, so if we buy the pulp stuff, we end up throwing it out before it's all gone), but sometimes we settle on a low-pulp compromise.

I buy the super-pulp stuff when she's sick.

We'll probably buy no-pulp because Rei hates it, and yeah, it's easier to take one for the team. But OJ is such a treat that I'm still thrilled to have any at all. Sometimes we really splurge and get a carton of each!

Chris and I both agree on no pulp.
Whenever i drank pulpy OJ as a kid a hated it because it felt like it was getting stuck in my teeth and made for a unsatisfying cereal experience. I couldn't drink milk as a small child so i eat my cereal with juice instead. kicks with OJ, Cheerios and flaky cereal with AJ.
My step dad was a pulp person so I have any memories of straining out pulp while pouring juice on my cereal.

Okay. Non-pulp things that I love --

My cat, Tara, likes to curl up against my belly these days. She is a fan of The Little Bit. (That's what we think the cats call Little Bit -- "The Little Bit.") She just gently curls up on or right next to my lower abdomen whenever I'm on the couch, at least for a while. She used to prefer to lay next to me, if she bothered at all. (Donny is her favorite. I'm Reece's favorite.)

Reece, on the other hand, does not seem to know or care about The Little Bit. He likes to clomp all over my belly right before he demands rubs and scritches.

The roomate problem isn't really a problem for me, since I don't usually drink anything besides water (and milk on cereal/oatmeal). So I don't really ingest pulp regularly, but when I do drink orange juice, pulp is always the preference.
