❓Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Is Simply Orange Juice served from a fountain or in a bottle at Waffle House?
Answer: Simply® Orange Juice is typically served in individual, sealed 11.5 fl oz plastic bottles at Waffle House.7 This ensures the juice retains its freshness and quality consistent with the Simply brand standard.
2. Does Simply Orange Juice contain added sugar?
Answer: No. Simply® Orange Juice is 100% pure orange juice and contains no added sugar.8 The $\sim 33$ grams of sugar per 11.5 oz bottle are naturally occurring fruit sugars (fructose).
3. Is Simply Orange Juice the only type of orange juice Waffle House offers?
Answer: Waffle House primarily offers Simply® Orange Juice (usually pulp-free) as its premium orange juice option.9 However, some locations may also carry a Minute Maid® product or other brand options, but Simply is the widely advertised choice.
4. What is the difference between “Not From Concentrate” and regular orange juice?
Answer: “Not From Concentrate” (NFC) means the juice is squeezed from fresh oranges, pasteurized, and packaged without having its water removed. Concentrated juice has the water removed for shipping, then water is added back later. NFC juice, like Simply, is generally considered to have a fresher, more natural flavor.
5. Why is the calorie count for the Simply Orange so high compared to other drinks?
Answer: Orange juice, while healthy, is dense in natural sugars and carbohydrates, resulting in 10$\sim 170$ calories for the 11.5 oz serving size.11 For comparison, it has more calories and sugar than the same amount of a sweetened soda, which is why it should be consumed in moderation as a source of Vitamin C.
