Pyramid shaped orange

Kat1170

Anyone remember a pyramid shaped, orange flavoured drink, carton. You could use a straw or tear a corner to drink it, or put it in the freezer and 'eat' it. Seem to remember it was a striped carton. Would have been mid to late 70's.

They were called 'Sunkist' in Germany, always got one of them for lunch in school. Don't know though, how they were called in Ireland

Sunkist was launched in 1979, the one I remember was definitely out prior to that. Came in a 'paper/cardboard' carton like milk* etc. except it was pyramid shaped. :D:):D



*and milk then was in bottles.:D:D

Strange. I got them in primary school, which was between 1976 and 1980

Even the name was funny, they took it from 'Sun Kissed', afaik

I'm going by that bastion of information Wikipedia, sooooooooooooo.......:D;):D

I vaguely remember they had thin stripes, maybe blue and white.

Righteo...the German version of the bastion tells us, that is was known in Germany in the mid 1960s already

You do. And milk was also sold in pyramid shaped cartons for a time too.
