Now today's last word in business is packaging passion. You may have noticed the new packaging for Tropicana orange juice. Last month, Pepsi - the company that owns Tropicana - started shipping out cartons without the familiar picture of an orange with a straw struck into the side. The new cartons feature a tall glass of juice wrapped around the side of the box, and many fans were left with a sour taste. Some wrote to the company complaining that the new box, quote, "resembles a generic store brand," which is just true. Others called it ugly or stupid.
