Open your refrigerator - do you see a familiar white and green carton looking back at you? What if we told you that the brand now synonymous with “sunshine in a glass” started with humble beginnings as Fruit Industries, Inc.? Join Kel Roth for a fascinating look into the history of Tropicana and a man whose vision changed the landscape of commercially produced fresh juice for generations - Anthony Rossi.
