Once popular across the globe, those retro juice cans by Minute Maid are about to fizzle out.
You've seen them in the frozen aisles of grocery stores, available in orange, lemonade and more. But this month, The Coca-Cola Company decided to discontinue Minute Maid's line of canned juices in both the U.S. and Canada, citing shifting consumer preferences, Good Housekeeping reports.
"With the juice category growing strongly, we're focusing on products that better match what our consumers want," a spokesperson for The Coca-Cola Company, the parent company of Minute Maid, said in a statement to Good Housekeeping — adding that the frozen juices are being discontinued in the first quarter of the year, with "in-store inventory available while supplies last."
For those not familiar, the line of frozen canned juices comes in the following flavors:

In the early 1940s, soldiers were supplied with lemon crystals for Vitamin C, but too many of the crystals went uneaten because of the unpleasant taste, according to the National Museum of American History. Enter frozen concentrate as a superior solution.
After the war, the product quickly became a staple on American breakfast tables — and helped bolster Florida's citrus industry, according to Good Housekeeping. Families back in the day were said to thaw frozen cans overnight so they could prepare glasses of Minute Maid juice for the next morning. Imagine that!
