That Realime stuff is total crap. Try squeezing some actual fresh limes. Seriously, how hard is it to do that?

It's not a matter of difficulty, it's a matter of convenience and time. As much as my wife loves me spending 10 minutes in the kitchen for every drink it's just not something I'm willing to do except on the rare occasion. I could pre-squeeze the limes if I wanted but I imagine most of it would go to waste unless I planned to have more than one or two a week. Realime and Realemon are the only good options regardless of quality :(

My fridge is full of canned (and boxed) juices. But fresh lime juice I think makes a very big different.

Also if you are afraid of your lime juice going to waste, if you have lots of limes left over turn it into lime sour mix. Lime sour mix is awesome just use it like you would use normal sour. This will let it last longer. When that turns cloudy, toss it.
