Cherry, yup...they were to die for...we didn't realize how special those type of things would turn out to be...

Yep, you were right, Suz!

I'd rather see than be one.

Forget the milk... just make a Purple Cow float -
grape juice & vanilla ice cream.

We had those tumblers, Suz . . . and you are right! C-O-L-D!

Hey, I just noticed on that label that these were made by a PHARMACEUTICAL company. Uh-oh.

milk and juice

anyone every drink an Orange Julius?

then, of course, you have your White and Black Russians..Vodka and Milk...
I love Orange Julius.. they are great !!!
yeah, aren't they...there used to be an Orange Julius at a mall in Tulsa....Orange Julius/Dairy Queen combined..

first time I actually learned that it involved milk and orange juice.

there was a drug store in West Tulsa, too..gosh I was a kid..and you could get what I think was called a phosphate? flavors, I believe.

hmmm, I could be wrong about it being a phosphate though..carbonated anyway and you could only get it from a fountain...

yep.. I love Iron port and Cherry..

Yes, they are Wayne, all aluminum I'm guessing...not exactly sure what these were made of, almost had to be an aluminum alloy of some kind, they were more durable than todays cans are...

oh yes...we had all those colors and silver too...that would make six of them I'm sure as a set.

a few of them eventually had dings on them, I even recall throwing them out after my Dad died, in cleaning up and downgrading Ma's kitchen...

but they weren't in the best of shape by then, anyway.... other than for nostalgic reasons and you can't save everything

sure with I'd have saved a set of them now, though...

probably not Nehi...like Radar always had on MASH (and me before there was ever a MASH or Radar,

but yes, grape soda is bottled by several bottlers..or canned which ever the case may be.
