My kids love these.  I open up a couple of cans with lunch and the Mandarin Oranges are gone before anything else.  My Grandmother made ambrosia with this brand and I will stick with it. The oranges don't taste like the can and I feel like I get more for my money than with the smaller plastic containers - though I would buy the plastic containers for taking out lunches and travel.  Use in your favorite orange cake recipe or bread recipe and skip the orange extract.  Excellant.
