I mean you're already at Mcdonalds so nutrition concerns is already out of the fucking window might as well enjoy a soda.
What's 12oz of soda with a 1000 calories baconator from wendys? I'm already dead at that point.

you haven't lived until a random little kid ask you "how do you make love".
Oh hell naw! This is the only place you can get it from.

Truly the smoothest drink.
In my poorer days I would get a 1.99 happy meal and I always got their take on "orange drink".
Any size beverages are only $1 right now. Maybe I'll fill up a huge jug of it. I could freeze it and sell it in 20 years too.

real juice is nice, but pretty much still all natural sugar water. Powerade is horrible with food.
Mcdonalds Orange was a reliable offering for people who don't like sodas and think drinking water is boring. But who knows how this will turn out.
Just in time for Rick and Morty season 3 to demand that it comes back!

M&M McFlurries never left (Texas)
I am bitter that the recees mcflurry left our area.
Reasons to visit McDonalds just dropped to zero. Whenever the weather starts to get warm I get a craving for the stuff.
I remember one summer when my brother and I were still in scouts, we had a week long event at a local park marching the cub scouts from shelter to shelter so they could get their requirements for advancement. 90 degree heat, humid as hell, and always on the move. The water available at the park was warm and sulfurous, so the only salvation came in the form of these yellow beacons of hope that poured forth orange mana from heaven. While the kids were making macaroni pictures or whatever we'd find a shady spot and chug ice cold orange Hi-C. Made that week almost worth it.
All I remember is it tasting godly out of this as a kid.

Yep, that's what I thought of when I read the title. Would LOVE that.

Did they get rid of those before or after the Big 'N Tasty? Because that's when they truly went downhill for me.

That thing was amazing. My primary school had "hamburger day" every so often where our parents could order us McDonalds burgers for lunch, and they always hauled that thing into the classroom.

HI-C was always for straight busters anyway. Capri Sun was where it was at.

My 1,000 calorie baconator doesn't have 55 grams of sugar in it!

Same. White Castle still sells Hi-C orange.

But the sugar from the hi-c counteracts the fat and sodium!
Haven't been in a while, but in Missouri they were around last year every McDonalds I went to. Doubt they removed them.

That sprite sounds like a lame attempt at Baja Blast.

Posts like this are always laughable when I see them on diet sites.
They offer advice such as "instead of a steak try a kale salad instead, it has a lot fewer calories and is packed with essential vitamins and fiber. Hello, if someone is looking for a healthier alternative to steak how about suggesting something more substantial than kale.

Seriously this. Play days, Pizza days and Track and Field events at elementary school and we'd have Hi-C from McDonalds. I haven't had it since the 90's probably but man do I still remember that amazing taste.

Coke needs to bring back Ecto Coolers... again. It's kind of sad to see just how far Hi-C has fallen

literally never going to mcdonalds again
The problem is that Hi-C isn't a moderate choice compared to soda, it's still completely terrible. And at least the people drinking soda know that they are indulging, while those choosing Hi-C think they are making a healthy decision.
