Donald Duck Juice Is A Classic

Don't let Donald read this because he's bound to throw a major temper tantrum. I certainly would.

I didn't know that there was a Donald Duck juice. And from the way it has been described, I don't think I'd want a Donald Duck Juice.

Donald Duck orange juice tasted like grapefruit juice. For some reason, back in the 1940s, the Walt Disney Co. gave a license to an orange juice manufacturer to use the likeness of one of their top cartoon characters, Donald Duck, for use in a new beverage. The company then proceeded to put bitter-tasting grapefruit juice in a can and market it as orange juice. For a company that has licensed everything imaginable, it is their oldest surviving license still in existence

The cans of Donald Duck orange juice always looked rusted on the outside and the juice always had a faint taste of the metallic can.


Horrors!

Is this thing still around? If it is, maybe Disney needs to do its own independent testing the way it is planning on doing now on its toys.
