Farmfoods shoppers praise return of nostalgic 90s 'childhood' drink

Farmfoods shoppers have rushed to praise the return of a product that was a "favourite" among children who grew up in the 90s.

One customer spotted that the budget retailer now sells Squeeze It Twist & Squeeze soft drinks in packs of four. The two flavours that they saw in their local supermarket were apple and raspberry, and apple and blackcurrant.

Squeeze It is a brand of fruit-flavored juice that was originally marketed from 1985 until the middle of 2001. The product came in a plastic bottle that the drinker needed to squeeze to open, which is where the name originates from.

The shopper who spotted the drink product was quick to share the news online with others. Writing in the Food Finds UK Facebook group, they said: "These take me back to my childhood, Farmfoods".

The post has since received more than 330 likes and over 100 comments. Farmfoods and Squeeze It fans alike were quick to share their thoughts on the news.

"Omg blast from the past," one posted, while a second echoed: "Memories".

A third commented: "Holy **** that’s unlocked a memory or two".

"I remember these I used to have them," shared a fourth.

Meanwhile, a fifth simply stated: "Was my fave".

Others who tried the rereleased product were not impressed, with one commenting: "They’re not as nice as they used to be".

"I loved these as wean but they ain’t the same as what they where," a second agreed.

Some Facebook users shared other retailers that Squeeze It drinks can be purchased from.

One suggested: "Try local corner shops too if anyone doesn't have a Farmfoods as they sell them also".

"Poundstretchers have these too," shared a second, while a third commented: "B&M also sell them".
