My folks got me hooked on Squirt as a kid; they used it as a mixer. :) I still like it.

I'd forgotten about it's use as a mixer.
If I recall, it could be used something like collins mixer in cocktails...

Do you think the taste has changed since you were a kid? I do! My mother used to buy it for me at the bowling alley when we went and I becoma completely hooked. After a twenty year or so absence I tried it and it seemed very artificial tasting, not as grapefruity as I recall.

Agreed, they are probably using fructose rather than cane sugar these days. I wonder if there's "Mexican Squirt"?

[misstia]

maybe? and sometimes you can find 'throwback' versions without the HFCS....companies are finely waking up, well some at least, that people don't want HFCS in products.....

[joebehrsandiego.livejournal.com]

I am happy about that trend too. I can now get "cane sugar" varieties of Hansen's soda at Trader Joe's. Small steps! :)

I love Squirt. It's really yummy.

Squirt in the eye. Oh dear.

[shortsweetcynic.livejournal.com]

MTE, word for word.

Squirt in the public eye? IT BURRRRRNNSS!!!!

[howeverbrief.livejournal.com]

Mm, Squirt! Agreed on the unfortunate "public eye" tagline. What were they thinking?

[luke-russell.livejournal.com]

It is SO odd!

[1geek-queen.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's hard to not think of the public getting squirted in the eyes with a grapefruit drink.

Coming soon, "Salt-free Squirt". It's so smooth you'd swear it's Vaseline!

I've never even heard of Squirt, let alone drank it. Is it still sold?

[stasia]

Yes, and it's delicious!

"The Biggest Selling Grapefruit Drink" Wow. Way to aim high there, ad men. It had little serious competition besides Fresca. In a recent unofficial taste test (http://drinks.seriouseats.com/2011/06/taste-test-grapefruit-soda-fresca-vs-squirt.html) it came in third.

[itskelp.livejournal.com]

I was just about to say, how many widely distributed grapefruit drinks was it competing with?

[jocelmeow.livejournal.com]

I was going to say "What about Wink (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wink_(soft_drink))?" but it looks like it wasn't introduced until 1965.

"In the world", or "In America"?

[luke-russell.livejournal.com]

Pompelmo is the world wide best seller.

Squirt in the eye hurts, trust me I know...

[vix.livejournal.com]

Squirt is the best. Ruby Red Squirt is slightly better!
