Some girls spend their weekends at malls or hang out at coffee shops, other girls hit the clubs. My friends and I do those things, too, though we prefer more laid-back activities like watching movies at each other’s houses or going on picnics.

We went on a picnic just recently because we were getting tired of hanging out at Starbucks and inhaling everyone else’s secondhand smoke. For once, we wanted to be in great outdoors, especially since we spend so much time cooped up in an office cubicle or classroom seat. I don’t think most of us even get to step on a single blade of grass during weekdays.

What I enjoy most about picnics is that they feel like mini vacations. Find a secluded, quiet enough spot and it feels as though you’re back in the province. The air is fresher, time moves a lot slower, and your surroundings are far more pleasant to look at. Instead of seeing a concrete jungle, you’re faced with so much greenery. During picnics, you can do so many things you can’t do at your normal city hang outs like learn to fly a kite or lie on the ground while talking. You can take your sweet time and stay as long as you want without having to ignore the dirty looks thrown at you by waiters and other restaurant patrons waiting for their turn to be seated.

One other great thing about picnics is that you can save a lot of money without necessarily scrimping. Just whip up your favorite dish at home and bring it for everyone to share. Even buying bags of chips and drinks at the nearest convenience store will cost far less than a meal at a restaurant. For our picnic, we prepared finger foods, pretzels, bags of chips, water, and bottles of Minute Maid orange juice drink and other drinks. We felt that Minute Maid Pulpy Orange was a perfect complement to our food and surroundings because it tastes just like real orange juice – sweet with a slight tang. But what makes Minute Maid really fun to drink is the pulp. Unlike other pulpy orange juice drinks, which tend to scrimp on the pulp, Minute Maid has lots of it!

We stayed at our picnic spot until the sun went down, and went home feeling revitalized and ready for the week ahead. It was great to be under the sun and among so many trees for a change. So if you’re looking for a unique weekend activity that has nothing to do with malls and restaurants, I highly recommend that you go on a picnic with your friends or your family. The change of pace and scenery will do wonders for your stress levels, not to mention that it’s a lot kinder on your wallet, too.

Having a picnic with my friends is just one of the best ways to enjoy Minute Maid Pulpy Orange and Mango Orange.

    Minute Maid Pulpy Orange Juice is indeed one of the best drinks i’ve ever tasted. My family loves the pulps and the fresh orange juice taste that is just right! Not too sweet and enough to quench your thirst. =) Its budget friendly and has loads of health benefits such as providing our body with Vitamin C to keep us fit. Enjoying this with your family for a perfect bonding moment is what my family usually do. ,
    One thing I enjoy drinking minute maid orange juice is that you can enjoy it with the rest of your family and friends while having a toast to a good health. My family loves drinking this and we make sure to include one of these whenever we go to Tagaytay Highlands for a family outing or for a picnic or just something to quench our thirst with after a supermarket shopping at the malls.
    Also, I admit I have a sweet tooth and this craving for sweets increases when im stressed out or sad. This may sound strange, but drinking Minute maid is now my new kind of “comfort food” aside from chocolates. Just one bottle is enough to satisfy my sweet tooth craving and would make me smile after I finish drinking a bottle.

    I ask my brother lately how to enjoy Minute Maid. He answered with a grin in his face and said ” when I’m thirsty.” What a ridiculous answer but it make sense actually because he only wants the best product to satisfy his thirst. But not only satisfaction is important, include health benefits too.

    as for the my comment entry:

    Let me make this K.I.S.S.

    A minute maid shared with people you dearly care, no matter where you are, no matter if the drink is hot or cold, no matter what circumstances hold– as long as you can share the single moment with them is truly what Minute maid stands for- True to it’s goodness till it’s last pulp.

  38. Lawrence / January 28, 2010

    My suggestion on how to enjoy Minute Maid is by serving it with your favorite snack while watching on your Television.
    You will enjoy the movie because of chilling the delicious taste of Minute Maid. For sure you will slow down suck the bottle to drink the Minute Maid. And lastly, your common snack will become more special when you combine it with a bottle of Minute Maid as your drink.

    My dad had a stroke early January this year and is currently undergoing physical therapy. My mom and I discovered Minute Maid in the small store inside the hospital while we’re waiting for my dad to finish his therapy sessions.

    Since he had the stroke, my dad lost his appetite for a lot of things including food. He became picky and found his favorite foods and drinks before to be not interesting. After one particular session, he saw my mom and I drinking Minute Maid and asked for a sip because he was thirsty. We were both amazed when he pronounced that he liked it and finished the whole bottle!!! We finally found something that he liked and we did not have to force him to drink it!

    The doctor also gave him the go-signal to keep on drinking Minute Maid as it is a healthy drink. Now, it has become a habit that we always drink Minute Maid after we finish therapy. My dad even asks for it at home so we stocked up on it!

    BLOG ENTRY:

    COMMENT ENTRY:
    How to best enjoy Minute Maid is to share it with your loved ones. Like in special occasions like birthdays and matched it with the yummy cake or pizza!mmmm…..
    For me I loved to share it with my kids.
    When I discover this Minute Maid Pulpy Orange and Mango, I always make sure that we have stocks at home because it really refresh my mind and body… especially me as a mom of two kids I need to be more active too! But another reason to find out when my kids try it also it enhancing Immune Function and Fighting Infection. I noticed it enhanced their ability to learn and better memory.

    I love my family, and spending time with them is my favorite thing to do. And now through Minute Maid it made our Quality Time! Thanks Minute Maid!

    “How can you best enjoy Minute Maid Pulpy Orange?”

    They say that the best things in life are free. In relation to that, I must say that the best way to enjoy life is being with the persons that we love and who loves us unconditionally in return. So, to answer the question “How can you best enjoy Minute Maid Pulpy Orange?”, my answer is clear, “I can best enjoy Minute Maid Pulpy Orange with my FAMILY.”

    Since my siblings and I were all working at day, it is only during dinner where we can share and eat meal together. That’s the main reason why my mother would normally prepare our favorite dishes at dinner time. Plus, she would regularly open a bottle of softdrinks. But later on, I suggested to have a Minute Maid Pulpy Orange instead. Since I’ve been a “running buff”, I’ve been health conscious. And softdrinks is not listed in my runners’ diet. She happily agreed with me. As a result, we all enjoy the pulp of Minute Maid at dinner.

    WHEN To Best Enjoy Minute Maid

    EACH and EVERY MOMENT is the best
    To enjoy MINUTE MAID and have a drinkfest
    A special occassion needed not
    Since Minute Maid makes ANY moment rock!

    Minute Maid is made from juicy pulpy bits
    With this drink, any event simply fits
    It is healthy and of course, nutritious
    And let’s not forget that it is surprisingly delicious!

    A hearty BREAKFAST, a STROLL in the park
    In these simple deeds, Minute Maid puts up a spark
    SURFING THE WEB or WATCHING THE TV
    Minute Maid is sure to make you giddy

    Doing GROUP STUDY or REVIEWING SOLO
    Minute Maid will not make you go “uh oh!”
    Being alone or not does not matter
    When you have a drink tasting better than water

    A yummy LUNCH, a tasteful DINNER
    Minute Maid completes any meal wherever
    SOUND TRIPPING or WINDOW SHOPPING
    Minute Maid gives you an ecstatic feeling!

    WORKING LATE for papers for a teacher
    Minute Maid is a mighty pick-upper
    Others indulge in coffee but I drink this juice
    Enjoying Minute Maid to STAY AWAKE is a clever ruse!

    With Minute Maid, I am driven by energy
    Good thing also that it makes my body healthy
    Minute Maid also helps me gain focus
    To keep my mind in the proper locus

    Minute Maid smoothies or lollies are cute ways
    To serve and enjoy this drink in good taste
    But just drinking cold Minute Maid from its bottle
    Is already enough to make my senses rattle

    When asked how and when to best enjoy Minute Maid
    For me, the list just goes on in an endless raid
    Any event simply equals BEST
    When paired with Minute Maid and not with the rest!
