Florida’s Natural delivers orange juice to Milwaukee following Brewers victory
Florida’s Natural has fulfilled a World Series wager by shipping 12,000 cartons of orange juice to Milwaukee. The bet was made with Wisconsin-based sausage producer Johnsonville following the Milwaukee Brewers’ first World Series title victory against the Tampa Bay Rays.
If the Brewers had lost, Johnsonville would have been required to ship brats to every resident of Tampa. Instead, the citrus cooperative sent 20 pallets of juice to Wisconsin. A portion of the shipment was displayed along the team’s celebratory parade route near the Italian Community Center, while other cases were distributed to local establishments for celebratory drinks.
In addition to the public festivities, multiple pallets of the orange juice are being donated to Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin, the state’s largest hunger-relief organization.
