It was Odwalla. I miss New England's self-pick o9rchards and fresh cider.

If I were cooking a recipe that called for cider and couldn't find any,
I think I would buy some good quality apple juice (Martinelli?) and
simmer it till it concentrated to half the original volume. If that was
too sweet, a dash of cider vinegar might help.
