Minute Maid's frozen juices are being discontinued [View all]

Pour, or instead squeeze, one out for a childhood staple: Minute Maid’s frozen juices are soon disappearing from shelves after an 80-year run.

Coca-Cola, which owns Minute Maid, said in a statement Thursday that it’s exiting the frozen can category. That will result in its lineup of juice concentrates being discontinued in the coming months.

The changes are “in response to shifting consumer preferences,” a company spokesperson told CNN, noting that it’s “focusing on products that better match what our consumers want.”

Minute Maid sells frozen juices in a variety of flavors, including orange, lemonade, pink lemonade, raspberry lemonade and limeade. The products will last on shelves until supplies run out.
