• On a “meta” level, it’s to show that Ant-Man was treating the airport battle like a sporting event or exhibition, rather than a “seriously trying to kill each other” fight.

  They give child athletes orange slices after a game. That’s the joke.

• The citrus helps to calm his mind after size adaptation.

• Maybe to prevent scurvy? Idk I’ve never seen the movie.
