It's wild that you can still buy these.
The "Dublin" formula of Dr. Pepper with Texas Imperial Sugar is still being canned and sold by a distributor in Temple, Texas.
I liked regular Slice better than Sprite or 7Up.I was going to post this as well. I still miss it.

I've been looking them up lately. If I thought kiddo would eat them, I'd jump to get them.
Some say they changed their sauce. Is that true?
Not a particularly fond memory, but was anyone else forced to drink powdered milk as a kid in the 80's? God, that **** was gross. We didn't switch over to regular milk in a carton/plastic, until I was a teenager. After talking to my mom about it, as an adult, she said "We could have gotten regular milk at any time!" "I just never bought the regular milk, because nobody ever complained about the powdered!" MOM, nobody ever complained because we would have gotten our ass handed to us, for complaining! All those lost years... SMH
I read somewhere that nearly every food from 15-20+ years ago has changed because companies are always looking to reduce the cost of manufacturing. New cheaper replacement ingredients are substituted.
I don't think the sauce is any different...but could be? My kids like them...and the best part of making the kit is that you can make different sections of the pizza with the toppings that a particular kid might like!
Speaking of orange "drink"... anybody drink Tang growing up? I used to love Tang and the McDonalds orange drink.

Ah yes, remember the lit end was painted pink, so i looked like lit cigarette.

As a teen I used to like an occassional Sports Shake (for the flavor, not for any athletic purpose)...didn't realize they still made this:
The white powder ones were way better than the paper-wrapped bubble gum version!
Bubble Up! Shirley Temple made with Bubble Up was the ******* ****.
That is a bizarre can to put a beverage in. I only remember drinking ecto cooler out of the little boxes
A lot of juices were in those cans when I was growing up.
This was almost always in the fridge. more so than the ecto-cooler. If I recall ecto cooler was only available around halloween.
Mmm… just want drinks have always been missing. Chewing.
Not powdered milk, but grew up on Skim not really knowing what milk fat was until I was 12 or 13 and started spending the night at friends houses. Very eye opening and world changing at the time. I went home and asked my mom to start buying 1 or 2% and was told no without really being given a reason. Had to wait til I moved out of the house to start buying real milk. Those old codgers are still drinking Skim to this day.
