Usage notes

Brazil is the world's largest producer of orange juice; Florida historically led US production, but its harvest has fallen sharply because of citrus greening disease. "Not-from-concentrate" juice is pasteurized directly, while concentrate is evaporated and later reconstituted. Since the 1990s the initials have also been strongly associated with O. J. Simpson.
