Is This Vintage Tropicana Pure Premium OJ Novelty Transistor Radio Available?
ISO: juice sweepstakes
Welcome to Is This Available? by Dana and Maria, our weekly blast about something we find on Facebook Marketplace.
Oceanside, NY
What do Frank Pellegrino (NJ FBI Chief from the Sopranos), Arthur Rose Eldred (Boy Scout’s 1st Eagle Scout), Bob Eger (CEO of Disney), Lori Laughlin (ex-con Full-House co-star) and this Tropicana Novelty Transistor Radio all have in common? They all hail from the same NY census area, Oceanside. Contrary to its name, Oceanside doesn’t share a side with the Atlantic Ocean.
Contrary to its looks, this orange with a barbershop straw sticking out of it is not actually an orange with a barbershop straw sticking out of it. Tropicana promises that their juice is “straight from the fruit”, and the promotional product delivers. The resemblance is uncanny and the color is to die for.
Orange the color is an important genre for me. I don’t know when it started but it was before I started to intimately care about the WNBA and before I realized how much orange juice means to my morning routine. Some things just have a funny way of working themselves out.
Maria’s miss of the week: tfw you’re so sick that the only thing that will cure you is if your newsletter spouse brings you breakfast in bed on the tray - with fresh squeezed OJ of course!
