the word squoze makes me think of adventure time.

This must have not been around long because i do not recall it all. We drank lots of Ice tea though.

[@seka1986]

Powdered iced tea was big back then.

@@seka1986 Not for us my mom made it with tea bags during the summer it was sun tea. She made gallons of it every week.

Used to drink it.

My mom did the same thing, boiling tea and putting it in tall rectangular Tupperware containers for iced tea every week. I didn't even know about powdered iced tea until I was a teen!​@@troynov1965

I first heard the word "Squoze" because it was used in a line on Howard Stern's "Private Parts" where one of the guys said "I squozed it myself, I hope it's not too tangy!"

Voice of 1/2 the sugar: John Stephenson (Longtime Hanna-Barbera cartoon voice actor).

Hey, nice. I was trying to figure that one out. My guess was George S. Irving but I wasn't sure enough to list it.

[@mrmonty86]

A company known for baking products going into the drink business was a bad idea.

[@dannydougin3925]

It's called branching out and many did back then. Read labels! 🙄

In 1964 Pilsbury created the Funny Face drink mixes. Ran until about 1978. It was extremely popular and their premium collectibles are fabulous. I was a huge fan of Goofy Grape.
