Remember the Welches Fruit Drinks

[WDWLOYAL1971]

Does anyone remember the Welches Fruit drinks from way back when? They were sold in the shapes of the fruit flavor you wanted instead of in a can or carton. For example if you wanted grape juice you would get a purple plastic bunch of grapes. They were sold from a snack cart. I'm talking early 70's here. Boy did I enjoy them as a child. I would always look forward to them.

I loved those! I think they also sold them at Six Flags over Ga, that is where I remember getting them.

I remember getting Welch's white grape juice in a clear plastic cup with ice mid 1970's. It was from a dedicated shop space behind the Castle and was awesome. I really looked forward to it and was sad to see it was gone.

I remember getting the orange shaped container at the Magic Kingdom. I think I still have one in my collections somewhere.

I remember those in general, not necessarily Disney specifically. Just as a kid I recall getting grape-shaped and orange-shaped plastic containers.

They had them through the late 80's at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. I used to always get the fruit punch drink that was in a container shaped like a barrel.

I remember those. They were always fun as a kid. Seemed like every amusement park had them at one time or another. Fond memories.

Brings back good memories, I remember the orange one as well as the grape, which was shaped like a purple bunch of grapes.

I remember them also. I can't believe that I cannot find a Google picture of one of those grape containers! :shrug:

Thank you for posting! I loved the grape-shaped drink. I begged for those as a child but, they were "too expensive". For memory's sake, I was hoping to get one for my child on the last trip. Sadly, they've been gone for years. We'll have to make a new memory.
