As a child I would try to beg, plead, cajole, bribe, and charm my way into getting a 6-pack of Squeezits... kind of like how I still try to beg, plead, cajole, bribe, and charm my way into getting 6-packs. Hmm.
There was just something special about the Squeezit that made it a drink far superior to a juice box, or even the popular Capri Sun. Mere words on a silly little blog could never accurately capture the childhood joy of twisting off the Squeezit's plastic top and squeezing a blast of brightly-colored sugar water into your mouth.
Unfortunately, Squeezits were discontinued in 2001, obviously as part of some sick master plan designed to rid the world of happiness. If only they still existed, I would implore General Mills to make a cocktail version... I would bestow upon them the name "Booze-Its" (muuuhahaha - alcholic Booze-Its are hereby copyrighted by The Faux Paw Blog, 2009 - don't even think about stealing my genius, b*tches. I know lawyers. Lots and lots of lawyers.)
Just discovered your Throwback Tuesdays and I am LOVING it!! I remember all of these!!
ReplyDeleteSeriously disturbed by the Squeeze It commercial though...
