I had better luck for a time eating frozen orange juice concentrate
from the can with a spoon on hot summer days - wow was that refreshing -
as a pseudo-slushi kinda made-up treat went.

END OF AN ERA: Minute Maid, owned by The Coca-Cola Company, is preparing to discontinue its frozen juice concentrate products, a move that has sparked a wave of nostalgia among longtime fans online.
The change is expected to take effect in the first quarter of 2026 as
the company responds to shifting consumer demand. Remaining cans will stay on shelves until supplies are exhausted.
