Five Alive Citrus, 1 Litre/2.2lbs, Juice Box, {Imported from Canada}

I always liked this product when I was growing up in the U.S. Midwest in the 1970s. At that time made from frozen concentrate, It was delicious: tart and tangy. This boxed version doesn't taste exactly like I remember but enough that I will order it from time to time. I've never seen it offered in a Boston area grocery store but will start looking.

Tasted awful, not even sweet and tasty, poured it down the sink.

Priced too high! Rediculous that it isn’t sold in America anymore. I bought in frozen cans for many years but will never buy again at the price.

no flavor like years ago..

I mean, come on, it's Five Alive. Only wish it came in a regular OJ carton like sold in the US.

Five Alive is a Minute-Maid brand citrus drink in a one liter (about 2 full glasses worth ...or maybe about 4 decent medium-sized servings worth) carton from Canada. Four stars only because of the price... Would be 5. Good seller. A bit pricey but it does taste good. It is a no-pulp citrus drink mix of orange, tangerine, lemon, lime and pamplemousse (?). It's perhaps shelf-stable for a little while but mine all expire in June, 2025. Five-Alive tases good, kinda like a mellowed-out Tang with a subtle lime bite as it finishes. Worth a taste. Not quite "orange juice" but is a delicious, almost candy-like citrus drink. Pro-tip: order 3 at a time... and they fit perfectly in to the box, as there seems to be some shipping issues as it is just juice in a box after all.

Delicious. This is not carried in our area. I am very glad we ordered it.

I think I paid almost $20 for a small carton of Five Alive, but this wasn’t a surprise; I knew what I was paying for. What was a surprise was after refrigerating and shaking properly before serving, there were long, slimy orange clump of syrup (?). My son saw them and said, “What is that?” Needless to say, we threw it away and pour out the juice. It was a waste of $20. I looked at the date on the carton and couldn’t tell for sure, but I don’t think it was expired. It was just poor product quality. The carton was in poor condition, as well. I put a paper towel underneath it when I put it in the refrigerator, because the carton was sticky. I thought it might be leaking. Save your money!
