WAY too much lipstick on that tot.
I love how it's come 180 from that - now children's doctors tell you to dilute juice half and half with water and not to give much of it at all. Sorry, Sunkist!

i never heard of the dilution of OJ! that seems weird...

but gets me is juice manufacturers who put SUGAR (usually high fructose corn syrup in many juices)....i like pure 100% juice not from concentrate!

Apparently my grandmother must have seen this ad. Every time we'd visit her for a week or two as kids (we live in different states) she'd make us drink orange juice every morning. I hate orange juice. (Except for Simply Orange, that stuff is awesome.)

It's a brand, I think they were selling the oranges, not the orange juice. My grandparents used to keep oranges in a wicker basket in their TV room. I LOVED rolling those things around, even though I had actual toys, so the stamp on the orange is pretty familiar.

seconding amiga500's comment, sunkist is a brand name for many citrus-based produce and drinks. they're actually a cooperative for west-coast u.s. citrus growers. that said, they do make a lot of the fruit-flavored sodas (e.g. what we called "orange drink" when i was a kid) that you get at grocers and restaurants.

it's interesting that the name is automatically associated with soft drinks in australia - has that become a generic term, like "kleenex" or "band-aid" or (something i just found out recently) "popsicle"?

lol - i didn't even notice the next ad was for kleenex (brand facial tissues). what a coincidence!
