Plimouth Plantation & Saving the Rain Forest

Spring has finally arrived here in New England and we wanted to spend some time outdoors and since we were planning on visiting relatives out of state anyway, we decided to spend the entire day in Massachusetts. I went to Tropicana.com and I found that we could get a Buy 1 Get 1 admission to Plimouth Plantation for only 5 points. I could then also donate points to the 'Save the Rain Forest' program to round out the 6-9 points that I had allocated to spend this weekend.



Plimouth Plantation: This is a bicultural museum, offering personal encounters with history built on thorough research about the Wampanoag People and the Colonial English community in the 1600s.



The kids were fascinated by the 'houses' of the time, the farming/food resources and the kindergartner was in awe of all the physical labor that children had to do. And touring the Mayflower II was a hit as well. We then enjoyed sitting the the grass and enjoying the Cape Cod Bay. The finale was learning about the Plymouth rock and tossing coins at it.



Save the Rainforest:
Tropicana has teamed up with coolearth.org on a special project in the Ashaninka Corridor in Peru. They are securing forest once held by logging companies and opening it up to rubber tappers and harvesters of forest produce, helping the Ashaninka tribe to manage the forest resources sustainably and to protect the rainforest and its valuable store of carbon.

You can donate any number of points that you wish. We donated 3 today which equals 100 sq. ft. of rainforest rescued.

Where oh where did my Tropicana go?

Daughter at Gymnastics. Check. Mental list of groceries. Check. Son snapped into cart. Check. Ok, off to the orange juice section. I am there….but where? Where? WHERE is the Tropicana, pulp-free, family sized jug?! Look again Jen. Calmly. Any standard sized cartons? Nope, I just see a ton of some new generic company. Did Stop & Shop sell out decide to only sell their generic? Look for employee. Don't bother, just look again. Oh my goodness! All those generic bottles ARE the Tropicana. Why would they do this? I am no designer but I do not like the new design. I will slowly adjust but I miss my orange with a straw-it stood out before and now their cartons just blend in. I guess they are going for the minimalistic look. Thank goodness the taste did not change. What do you think?

Tropicana 50 - My version

Finally. I had received coupons for the new Trop50 a number of weeks ago however, they did not have any information on the website for me to link you too. Well, not only is there some information online but coupons also. Have any of you tried it yet? It looks as if they use Stevia as a sweetener. I am not sure I will buy it as I have a cheaper and effective way to cut the calories and sugar: I simply pour some of the regular Tropicana in my glass, and add water. I am guessing at a 60:40 ratio. Brillant eh?

Also, I thought the company has abandoned it's new packing for the former? hum.

Tropicana bows to the will of the people

Check this out: Do you recall how I blogged about the generic look of the new Tropicana cartons? Isabel's preschool teacher showed this too me and it looks like many agreed: (I suspect the marketing company has been fired). Take a look here. Just imagine what we could accomplish in this world if we all rose up to injustices as we did over a carton of O.J.
