I just registered on this forum to ask a question that has been bugging me for years

I live in Northern Illinois,
When I was a young kid (early 1970s) the local high school band would have an annual fundraiser where they would sell oranges
probably 15 or 20 pound boxes.

As soon as you brought the box into the house the smell of the oranges permeated the whole house
these things were fragrant, and absolutely delicious!!!

Since that time I have never been able to find anything close to that quality, or flavor  I have ordered oranges from Florida 4 or 5 times but am usually disappointed, the oranges are fine, but no different than what I can get at the local grocery store, and nothing like the ones I remember from 45 years ago,

Is there an explanation?,  perhaps changes to packaging/ shipping ,  the type of orange,  genetic modifications?

Thanks in advance for any information.
