That was always their problem -- thin distribution. And, because of the limitations of their manufacture, they were likely to run out-of-stock before the next season's crop was in.
Does it still say "Made from fresh tomatoes" on the can?
Welllll, looks like times have changed again.
I’m looking at a can right now.
“Tomato Juice from concentrate”
“100% Natural”
Concentrate from water and tomato paste
Salt
and
Ascorbic Acid (And we know where most of that comes from)
Oh well, Still yummy. I think I’ll crack this can open right now!
Oh yea, That pic on top is destined to become a FR classic I believe. :)
