🥤 Did you drink this? 🥤

As kids, we had it a few times, almost always this flavor, but mostly we drank milk with every meal. I didn't realize that it's still available.

Sure. I also had it at McDonald's a few years ago, and thought it was pretty good, but not as good as orange soda.

I also remember sending away for a Kool-Aid pitcher as part of a promotion (remember when you had to send in box-tops for things?). But we only occasionally drank Kool-Aid.

Since the 1950s we've "Hohes C", an orange juice enriched with vitamin C.

And you said something very important.
Milk and water are still the healthiest drinks.
The worst are Zero sodas with the unhealthy sugar substitutes.

I've never seen it in a soup can like in that pic. I remember Hi-C coming in those individual serving sized juice boxes. But yeah I did drink them.

Once in awhile my mom would get Hi-C but she was into saving money at the grocery store so it was mostly Kool-Aid for me.

reply

No, my mother was always on a diet so there were NO sugary drinks in the house! No sodas, no Hi-C, not even Kool-Aid even though it was as cheap as dirt.

So of course we romanticized and craved everything sugary, including awful stuff like Hi-C and Kool-Aid.

I did also and it's my oldest son's favorite drink. Our local McDonald's sells it and that's what he usually gets to drink.
