What ever happened to FIVE ALIVE juice?

[WARF]

Does this drink even exist anymore? I don't think I have seen it in 15 years? I used to live on that juice as a kid. There was something special about FIVE ALIVE, it combined Tangerines, oranges, grapefruit, lemons and limes. Where the hell is this juice?! Is it discontinued? If I remember well it was distributed by Coca-Cola.

Also available in 1.89L cartons or 2.44L plastic jugs), as well as 200mL tetrapak boxes.

That's not as bad as the Quiznos commercials with the sponge monkeys. They looked like rats. Made people think Quiznos shops were infested with rodents.

I could go for a Zima right now. But Cato has to send it to me...

Zima haha... that shit tasted like sprite... wasn't it like 4% alcohol or something? I would drink one of those with pizza for lunch. Isn't those Bacardi drinks the same thing?

I used to LOVE this drink in the 80's called Super Socco. It came in glass bottles like Gatorade. Looked similar but was more tart and fucking awesomely delicious. I'd kill for some right now.

I always thought they were like a weak, hoppy or malty gin and tonic...

Gatorade, like everything else, was so much better in a glass bottle. I remember when the only flavor you could get of Gatorade was Lemon Lime. Now they have how many flavors?
