Has mass protests ever caused any Presidential administration to change their foreign policy?

@BlackAzizAnansi I keep wondering this. (And about online petitions.) When's the last time mass protest in the US resulted in change at the national level?

I have this memory of drinking frozen OJ growing up. It came in a little paper cylinder, and you put it in a pitcher and added water then stirred and it was orange juice. There was apple juice too...

Is that a thing anymore? What the heck was the frozen juice thing about. I can't even find it anymore.

Yeah, frozen concentrate! And sometimes you'd try it just as-is and it was so intense you regretted it immediately! Or was that just me?
