75
I would choose orange juice because it is my favourite drink. It

contains vitamin C so it is good for health. It is a nutritious and
refreshing drink. It could quench my thirst. The price is

reasonable and affordable. I have enough money to buy it.
Although the orange juice comes in 300ml per tin, I think it is
still enough for me. I will get six tins of drinks and I could share
the drinks with my siblings and friends. This will save my budget.
Besides, it is packed in aluminium tin which is light and easy to take
to picnics or schools. Other than that, it is very easy to open and
it could be recycled. I can use the empty tin to make a pencil
holder and it would be nice to me. Based on these reasons I think
it is the best choice for me.
