Source: Our analysis of the creator's lived experience, based on what they said in this video.
Creator's Key Takeaways
Is that really squeezing all that juice on board, or does fresh squeezed mean something different than most passengers assume?
Bulk juice is easier to store, portion, and serve at this scale than squeezing thousands of oranges a day for a free item.
If you actually want to know, the most reliable method is simple. Ask the crew.
It's not about calling the juice a scam. It's about knowing what you're actually getting.
