I buy carton ones for the home, but it doesn't even last a day, and there is always barely enough left for after a few glasses, cup which is frustrating. Why not sell them in bottles?

I have a large number of family members in the house, and those cartons are never enough.

there is only me and my hubby in the house so the cartons are too big...

maybe theyre produced in those size cartons as it is the optimum size to produce them in. also ive noticed they are produced to the same standard size as fridge doors.

at least your orange is fresher each tim you open a carton, ours might sit in the fridge for a few days before it gets finished

If it is too big it won't fit in the door of our fridge which is just a bog standard size so that may be a production consideration.

They have bigger fridges in America, though.
If you buy a big fridge here, it is usually marketed as an "American style" one, so it must be more usual to have a big fridge there than it is here.
Bigger fridge = more room = bigger containers.

Why not simply buy more cartons?

not enough room in the fridge for too many cartons, there is always room for a coke bottle or two though (would rather replace the coke bottle with the orange juice bottle)

Can't you stack them in such a way as to fit them in?

Are they the cartons that must be in the fridge even when unopened?

Lidl do a really nice orange juice and it comes in 1.5ltr sized cartons. I think they are only a quid too.

I was just going to say the same thing. I'm sure I've seen Tropicana juice in 2l cartons as well.
