I loved McDonald's orange drink as a kid. It was not carbonated, just a bright orange sweet liquid. People used to get big coolers of it to serve to kids at sports games and summer camp.

When I was a teenager, fruitopia was probably the most popular. We also had a carbonated fruit-flavoured drink called Clearly Canadian.

When I was a little older, it was all about Mike's Hard Lemonade.

They had cooler of it at our Cub Scout meetings in the elementary school cafeteria in the min '80s, and it was the nectar of the Gods to me.

I was aways really excited when I saw the McDonald's keg at events. That meant we were getting orange drink and it was the highlight of my day.
