Never has a drink that was so sickeningly sweet been so critical to the happiness of an entire generation as the Squeezit. A fruit-flavoured sugary juice made by General Mills, this novel drink design amused children who were forced to squeeze the plastic container in order to get at the drink. Varieties including Chucklin' Cherry, Smarty Arty Orange and Silly Billy Strawberry delighted kids everywhere for more than 15 years, but production ended in 2001 - forcing parents to find other ways to amuse their children aside from giving them a novel drink to squeeze.
