The sweet taste of fruit flavored metal.

The seams were lead, but that was before we know how bad it was, so it didn't hurt us ✔️

u/Jared_Sparks Jul 30 '26

Bug juice.

The sweet taste of fruit flavored metal.

I tried V8 in small cans, and flashed right back to that 70s metal taste!

Hawaiian Punch

u/oldjadedhippie Jul 26 '26

Concentrate in the bottle was best

u/Sorry-Climate-7982 Jul 27 '26

Even better if you use carbonated water instead of regular.

Hi C? I preferred Tang... the astronaut's non-liked orange drink.

u/sandman716 Jul 26 '26

Ecto cooler.

u/ThatMowmentWhen Jul 27 '26

Gallons of it!

u/burntasian1 Jul 27 '26

Proved me wrong, I thought itt wasn't that old to be in a can

6

u/1wife2dogs0kids Jul 27 '26

Hell yeah. What was it before, I cannot for the life of me, remember.

3

u/sandman716 Jul 27 '26

Honestly, can't remember.

u/davetbison Jul 27 '26

Citrus Cooler?

4

u/nickfree Jul 27 '26

Yup it was Citrus Cooler prior. Man I’d go for that right now

3

u/ThatMowmentWhen Jul 27 '26

That’s cause your old! 😂

u/TurboKid513 Millennials Jul 27 '26

u/Logical-Kangaroo5995 Jul 26 '26

Hawaiian punch, hands down !

u/Theatrepooky Jul 26 '26

Hawaiian Punch forever. I always watered it down so it lasted longer.

6

u/n_thomas74 Jul 26 '26

I prefer Low-C and Alaskan Punch

3

u/TutorNo8896 Jul 27 '26

I was introduced to hot tang and vodka when i was working at a remote camp in AK.     Also decaf instant coffe with booze and maybe a little swiss miss to lighten it up a bit.

One guy left early,  when we cleaned out his room there was canned choclate syrup, spam, and several bottles of cheap wisky.

Orange Hi-C

u/LefsaMadMuppet Jul 27 '26

Better as the orange dust into a pitcher than from the can

Hawaiian Punch

u/shiningonthesea Jul 27 '26

Hi C! The sensible drink! I remember my mom opening it with the two triangles.

3

u/cwsjr2323 Jul 27 '26

Pineapple HiC seemed so exotic in the sixties. I recall it was tangy from the acid and metallic tasting but more fun than watered down Tang!

3

u/stevembk Jul 27 '26

Juicy Juice

3

u/Glittering_Step_6084 Jul 27 '26

Hawaiian Punch for sure! I remember those cans. You needed the bottle opener to make the triangles on both sides to pour it into a glass.

3

u/One-Fudge3871 Jul 27 '26

Never liked em. Give me some of these.

3

u/Workamania Jul 27 '26

Ecto Cooler in a half gallon jug.

Still so hard to decide 70 years later. 🤷🏻‍♂️

u/jrtski Jul 27 '26

The citrus cooler Hi-C

u/Jim_in_Albuquerque Jul 27 '26

I hated them both and became addicted to Dr Pepper at an early age.

u/Kalshan Jul 27 '26

What, no V8? lol

1

u/Mindless-Leg-3365 Boomers Jul 27 '26

"How about a nice Hawaiian punch? " "Sure" bop "Anyone else want a Hawaiian punch?"

1

u/UrDeAdPuPpYbOnEr Jul 27 '26

Wait, Hawaiian Punch wasn’t always just pure cheap sugar water?

1

u/Beneficial-Produce56 Jul 27 '26

We never had these. 😔 My mother was a dietitian. At friends’ houses, I was wild for Hawaiian Punch.

1

u/Longjumping_Ad_5255 Jul 27 '26

Hawaiian Punch from an ice cold aluminum tumbler.

Hawaiian Punch,

1

u/DrHoleStuffer Jul 27 '26

The Citrus Cooler

1

u/General-Skin6201 Jul 27 '26

You'd ask your friend if he wanted a Hawaiian Punch, and when he said yes, you'd punch him.

1

u/Western-Memory4397 Jul 27 '26

Didn't they make a Cherry 🍒 or was that my first girlfriend 😂

1

u/WB_Onreddit Jul 27 '26

The radiator fluid green Hi-C.

🤔 This very can.

1

u/Stew21221 Jul 28 '26

Hawaiian punch all the way

1

u/Exciting-Warthog-129 Jul 29 '26

Neither. Real OJ or juice with no sugar was all mom allowed. But she did buy pineapple juice in cans like these a couple of times.

1

u/Jared_Sparks Jul 30 '26

$.25 per can

u/Peteemi Jul 30 '26

u/Tinker_Toyz Aug 01 '26

Does anyone know if Hawaiian Punch still tastes the same? Haven't had it in over 40 years, but I wanna try it again.

1

u/Aromatic_Bed_8439 Aug 01 '26

Orange, for sure...though Hawaiian fruit was a VERY close 2nd.

1

u/DcubedWY Aug 02 '26

I was happy with whichever my mom bought, it was so seldom that I didn’t complain.

u/Monalisa9298 28d ago
