Leftovers part 5 -- Mickey Orange Juice

I remember kids having these in the '70's and me desperately wanting one.  Not known for splurging on such frivolities, my parents rarely bought orange juice and when they did, it was the frozen, canned variety. I still remember how is would *plop* into the pitcher of water before stirring. The ice crystals never melted and were rough when you swallowed them.


This picture from Pinterest shows its original packaging.

    Coincidentally enough, O.J. is about to be released from the can.
