I (European) got this much, but is a pitcher of orange juice so much of a thing someone would fall for it? I've never seen anyone store orange juice outside the tetra pack it comes in. (Other than some swanky event like a wedding)
Juice from concentrate you can buy here in bottle or tetrapack. But it is already watered down. The concentrate part is for lesser costs for production - transport. Mostly cheaper than normal juice.
We have that in Canada, but we also have the tiny crystal packets or squirt bottles for juice, and the giant canasters filled with drink mix. I have not seen orange juice powder since I was kid in the 90's.
In the US it could be Tang instead, a powered drink mix stirred and in a pitcher, or reconstituted frozen orange juice which, like a lot of fruit in the US, is often fresher than stuff on our grocery shelves given when it's frozen.
As I see it
the left image shows Mac 'n' cheese
so what is implied in middle image is that person poured powdered American cheese in water to make "orange" instant vitamin drink (e.g. Cedevita)
Little bit of powdered milk can help it out in that situation. Stuff's fairly inexpensive and stores well. I don't tend to use a lot of milk in general so I keep a bag or can of it around for cooking, haven't had to do a smelly chunky was-milk pour of shame in ages.

Instead of ripping the sauce packet open, cut through a section of the sealed edge so you can replace it with Tang powder and re-glue.

Teach me.
Mmm Mmm there's a thought to send me to nightmares. Mac n tang.
Can some translate this to European?
It's a packet of orange processed cheese powder, in a jug of water, to trick people it is orange juice.

I don’t know how common it is but some households might use frozen orange concentrate and would use a pitcher for storage.
(Frozen orange concentrate is sold as small cylinders in the frozen food section that you mix with water.)
That is fascinating!
They don't do that in Europe? We had this all the time when I was growing up. WAY cheaper than buying a big-ass bottle of OJ. Less waste too.
We have orange juice. We rarely have concentrates.

Can't say for sure that nobody does, but I've never seen it. Juice mostly comes in tetra packs, like milk.

It used to be common to have cans of orange juice concentrate in the freezer. In the morning, you’d dump a can in a pitcher and add water.

Huh I never knew! Thanks

Don't call it cheese.
I wouldn't know I never tried it
It does have that radioactive colour, but never questioned how's it made
It's got electrolytes
It's been decades since I've seen the exotic orange cheese powder, but last time I recall, it wasn't water soluble?
It definitely works fine with just water.

Huh I always just threw in some butter
Was this Kraft Dinner found at Chernobyl? Why are the pictures all fuzzy like that?
This would result in wasted vodka, which is alcohol abuse.
