Epic Win: Squeezit
Submitted by S Campana
Squeezits were just a glorified juice box, but for some reason squeezing the juice into your mouth instead of sucking it through a straw made it that much more delicious. It’s probably because it was the sweetest, most non-healthy, funny colored kids beverage on the market at a time when most kids drinks were still mostly-natural juice drinks, except kool-aid and CapriSun. For whatever reason, they’ll always hold a nostalgic place in the memories of our childhood.
we only liked them cuz the bottles had funny faces..
I was addicted to those for the longest time.
Hey, isn’t that the girl from Jurasic Park? Man she annoyed the crap out of me.
I always thought this commercial was creepy… those kids are drinking out of live bottles. And the juice wasn’t even good.
I can’t tell if that’s her.. would be funny if it was though. Xd
What I remember from these is the commercial.. I don’t think I ever actually drank this stuff. o.o
Yeeeaaahhh….no.
Sorry, can’t agree with this one. Those things were GROSS. Plus, they made the back of my throat raw. Like it had too much citric acid, or something. Blech.
Sometime in high school I decided to try these again as a bit of nostalgia. They actually tasted far worse than I remembered.
Plus there’s probably some kind of horribly toxic chemicals in the plastic to make them so flexible…
um yeah, uh did anyone ese notice “squeeze the fun out of it” and gross, 0:16 blue ones tounge gross!
I rarely convinced my mother to buy these for me, but when I did, they were gone so fast, and then I used the bottle as a water gun
Yeah, my brother and I did the same thing. We also saved the twist off tabs and pretended that they were fighter jets.
Oh man these were disgusting but we drank so many, especially in the summer when it was really hot out. Did they have any real ingredients at all?
I loved these and, I think, they were called Jugs- the ones shaped like barrels.
In the UK these are called Twist n Squeeze
I love them but the don’t last long so I always have to buy at least 3.
And they had the ones that had the little tablets to make ‘em change colors, would just be mesmerized by it.
Yes! That was my favorite part!! I always had the coolest drink at lunch because of those tablets
Came here to say this!
I loved those things things! But man they were gone in like 2 seconds!
Yeah my mom wouldn’t buy them for me cus they’d never last a day…
I remember the best thing about these was in the summer using the bottle as a squirt gun and running around with the other kids in the neighborhood squirting each other.
My brother and I were just talking about these yesterday! We’d always walk up to the corner store and buy them, SO AWESOME! Do they still make em?
Loved the Squeezit. Mondo was alright, but Squeezit was the good stuff.
No, Mondo was the best.
They tasted like warm plastic, but kind of in a good way!
Man, these things were so nasty, but I loved them.
I would always chew on the plastic twist-off top for like an hour after the juice was gone, but then again I was a weird kid.
No, I totally did that too. I loved them, and my god I miss these things.
My gramma used to stock these in her fridge for my little brother and me… I always had one with a handfull of girlscout cookies before bed because I have a problem with milk… I cant say it was the best tasting mix ever but the bottle had a FACE on it it was AWESOME lol.
I found mondo: http://www.jelsert.com/products_mondo.asp
but sadly couldn’t find any squeezits. Squeezits were definitely my choice. They were nasty but couldn’t get enough of it.
Kool-Aide makes something similar for like a buck.
yeah, those were the one’s I had. they were good, too…
XD Those things were horrible! They tasted like the plastic bottles that they came in. I didn’t like them, even when I was a kid. My brother did though. XD
these things make you even more thirstier than you were to begin with!!!! god i hated these things, but they were soooo addictive!!!
i remember that some had the little pill you put in to change the color…
they’re called Twist ‘n’ Squeeze in the UK
I liked them because I could clamp on to them with my little kid hands drink them in about 2 second
I completely forgot about these until I saw it on this site.
Haha, I used to take the tops of them from off the playground floor and use them as space ships. I had a huge collection. I actually saw one the other day and was half tempted to pick it up just out of nostalgia! I should have.
Does anyone else remember that these also used to come with a jello like substance in them? I swear I remember eating something like that when i was a kid!
Yes. Everytime Someone talks about them, thats what I think of. I finally figured out the name too. They were called Gelooze. I would always swish the jello around in my mouth until it became a liquid
Did anyone else re-use the bottles as a make-shift squirt gun when they were done?
Did anyone else use the twist-off tops as vampire teeth, or were the kids in my neighborhood just weird?
you can go to this website and sign a petition to try and bring them back:)

I used to play a game with my dad where he would throw the bottles and i would run and catch them.. after drinking them and getting a sugar high of course
I loved these as a kid, after every softball game it would be a parents turn to bring drinks and they always brought these……Maybe they just tasted delicious then because we were so tired after a game mud would’ve tasted okay.
One of my earliest memories is of me getting one of those at my cousin’s house. I didn’t understand it. “Squeeze it,” my aunt said.
I did.
But I didn’t put it in my mouth first, so it got all over me.
Oh My Gosh!
I Can Barley Remember These!!
I Can Only Remember The Awesome Taste
Having A Tough Time Getting Them Open
And Wondering Which Carton I’ll Drink That Day
Oh god I remember drinking these all the time. I loved the faces on the bottles. I remember drinking these almost constantly growing up. If they still sold them, I would still buy them.
I found some of the Kool-aid ones at the store once (one of those ‘food mart’ places that always get weird stuff in). I almost bought some, but then I saw some Dunkeroos and those won the nostalgia battle.
Were my brother and I the only ones to take the tops and whistle with them after we were done?
I was always jealous of kids who got these for lunch. My parents are super cheap and never got me gummy things or neat looking drinks
When the other kids threw away the bottles I’d take them out of the garbage and check out the faces.
Only ever have drunk like maybe 2 of these in my life, and they were both… red… flavoured.
The things we wanted as kids… tsk
I was a huge fan of these- I loved the grape and berry ones but HATED the cherry ones. I also used to chew on the twist-off top afterward.
The commercial was almost dirty.
I used to love chewing on those bottles as I drank the juice. My grandma always had them in the fridge.
what were the ones called that came with little tablets and the changed the colors and flavors?
these things are still available to buy in the UK but there still the same sugary as hell and as powerful as stomach acid.
Haha, I still drink this, its soo good ^^
