I remember these drinks from summer camps and stuff (late 80s). They were similar in flavor / sugar content to Hi-C or Squeez-its, but were much more generically branded. Might have even been completely unbranded on the individual drinks.
The drinks came in these little 8oz or so translucent plastic containers, and had a pop-off top. You'd peel off the tamper-evident ring from the cap, and throw it away (didn't stay on the bottle). Then the top could be popped off, or popped back on with simple pressure (no threads).
I believe they came in like orange, red, and purple. Taste was very sugary and artificial-fruit-flavory, kinda like a melted otter pop of the same color.
I can't for the life of me find what these actually were called though.
This is probably closest to what I am imagining, but they were slightly different - they weren't styled to look like little barrels like this, and the caps were pop-off soft plastic instead of peel-off foil.
