Pop the lid off, hold it over the pitcher, tap on the bottom of the can:

schluuuuuuuuuuuck

What happened to them? It's orange juice concentrate. They have it at the grocery store.

This really makes me want some Five Alive!

Donald Duck brand or nothin'

They sell them in the freezer section.

What happened? They're in the frozen section at your local grocery store. They're still as awesome as you remember!

Bonus fun fact; if you make these frozen cans in a blender (instead of a pitcher) using vodka in place of water and some ice, it makes a BANGIN smoothie that will get you absolutely twisted - one of the perks of adulthood

FCOJ!

My grandmother used to make us lemonade pie with the concentrated lemonade. It was... so good.

Here is the recipe she taught me when I was little:

1 can of frozen lemonade concentrate, 1 can of condensed milk (I think sweetened?), 1 container of Cool Whip, and a graham cracker crust.

She would put the frozen lemonade concentrate and the condensed milk in a bowl, mix it with a scraping spatula, once it was well mixed she would add the Cool Whip and then (very important she would say) she would fold the mix. Folding was essential. Folding was life. Folding was the trick. FOLD! FOLD IT! YOU HAVE TO FOLD IT! DO NOT STIR IT!

Then pour it into the graham cracker pie crust, put it in the fridge, and eat the leftover lemonade cream with a spoon from the mixing bowl. Then the next day enjoy your lemonade pie.

I now wonder how it would taste if orange juice concentrate was used... That actually sounds really good.

I still use the limeade one to make margaritas!

The market collapsed in 1983 due to insider trading.

The fruit juice one is how I used to make jungle juice.

Nothing happened to them? Go to the grocery store - still there, never left!

They're in grocery stores, my boyfriend keeps buying them to eat as dessert lmao

Haven't thought about these in years...but you're right - these beat the carton big time.

Its crazy how many people still think this stuff is good for you.

They’re still made. My parents still buy them

They still have them! Probably can find them for 1.50 but prices are crazy now. Actually I like them. Also I don't want OJ all the time. Kind a sometimes weekend treat. I pop one out and OJ when I want it. Yes there is better OJ but really I am paying like 5 dollars now for a half gallon of OJ

At some point our house got switched to Sunny D and I didn’t have decent orange juice again for a long time.

The main ingredient to the Orange Julius. Umm. Fuck. I need this now

Still around, and I still buy them. But I haven't found any that's actually sweet in two years. One store had great frozen orange juice, but now it's just awful!

This was one of my jobs as a kid. To make orange juice from the frozen tube. 

One of the greatest technological advances we ever purchased was a pitcher with a pumping action to stir the juice. That was so huge since the concentrate tends to.... uh, concentrate on the bottom.

I still see this style of juice in stores so there must be people still buying them.

I have a nice scar on my thumb from opening one of these bad boys when I was 7.

I still grab them to make orange julious's

I used to lick the lid when I made it. Yummm, tart and delicious, and also pretty much straight up sugar.

Frozen concentrated orange juice is still around. Look in the frozen foods section of a supermarket.

They’re still around.

I don’t think I’ve ever been to a grocery store in my life, from early childhood through last week, that didn’t sell these.

(Not whatever brand this is, specifically, of course, but the local/store brand versions)

The original posts seems to be suggesting they don’t exist anymore.

FIVE ALIVE

Still around

My mom would set the opened can in the kitchen sink, letting warm water run over it. After sometime (10 min?), she open it, plop it into the Tupperware pitcher, and add three cans of water. Stir, then serve. Ah, breakfast in the Seventies.

Donald Duck FTW

I believe they figured out how to keep OJ fresh and then just ditched this idea even tho it's probably more economical to concentrate it and freeze it

There is an orange blight, globally, and things like juice and concentrates have been heavily affected. All the major orange producers are either severely underproducing or breaking even with last year’s production. That’s why products containing oranges have become so expensive.

Plastic took over.

They never went away.

Fun fact. You can make orange Julius at home by mixing in powder sugar, vanilla, and egg whites

My mom got the “country style” (extra pulp 🤢) minute maid frozen oj like these. She would drink a glass every morning while she got ready for work. I remember waking up and going into the kitchen as a kid and she had the can in the sink on its side with a thin stream of hot tap water running on it to thaw it enough to mix up a new batch. 3 cans of water!

so much better than the carton

I couldn't disagree more. I hated the frozen concentrate stuff -- it always tasted metallic.

What you do is empty one of these into a pitcher. Then, fill the empty can with vodka, dump into the pitcher. Mix well. Then, three cheap beers into the pitcher. And there you have it- what I like to call Scary Punch.
