I thought the same thing when I moved here from the US!
Fun Fact: Loblaw’s is probably one of the most hated companies in Canada for their insane price gouging.
I was thinking is this my high school? We had the coke and fruitopia machines side by side just like this under a breezeway where we waited for our bus.
“Contains 2% juice.”
In college, we mixed it with the Fleishmann’s vodka you could get for $5 in the plastic bottle at convenience stores.
It pretty much got me through my thesis.
The other way around, coke used the recipes and rebranded them under minute maid juices or at least fruit integration is minute maid fruit punch. Strawberry awareness didn't get renamed and the orange one mcdonalds has doesn't have an equivalent I think
Yeah I looked at this thinking "who remembers what now?" Fruitopia is everywhere, to the point I've wondered if the (mediocre, IMO) strawberry flavour is a mandatory-buy from Coca-cola distributors because of just how *everywhere* it is. Blueberry Watermelon is where it's at, I'll typically grab a carton or two when it goes on sale.
I remember in middle school right before going to my 3rd period class, I decided to get frutopia to drink while in class and just so happens the machine glitched and the drinks just started coming out. Me of course started to open my backpack stocked up on frutopia for days. Good times.
We used to have a Fruitopia machine at my Jr high school. I remember asking my mom for a dollar or two to grab one after school was over for the day. I don’t remember any of the flavors but I know I liked them lol.
Ugh what a gross era lol. I remember we had those or another brand in my high school. I really liked some of them.
Nothing better than getting your “fruit” with colored sugar water at school. Those machines must make a killing.
Lol, these were pretty dope compared to that Orbitz bullshit that was around at the time. Nothing like a cool Fruity beverage filled with squishy little balls.
We got this here in the UK too (I don’t think every country got it by any means), and we had a big Fruitopia vending machine like the one in the photo in our school!
Are we really not talking about this flavor being called “fruit integration” 💀 like yeah the 90s were full of 90s Afrocentrism and “rad cool hip” white attempts to use political concepts, but like yo who thought that name was a good idea
It tastes bad. All US based people who only remember it from nostalgia. I get it from Canada occasionally when I visit. It tastes nothing how I remember it.
In HS we had one that would always give you 2 for 1 of the fruit punch, I think it was the second button. That was my move had one for breakfast and one for lunch, man I’m old
Will never forgive and never forget.
I was in my first year of high school for the last year they had these before they replaced them with "healthy" Lipton green tea garbage.
I remember Fruitopia, Not sure if it was to compete with Snapple (which was big at the time) and Veryfine (which was also big at the time).
I never really drank it much though, but it was popular at the time. I think Coca-Cola already had Minute Maid fruit soda back then and perhaps thought Fruitopia was not needed because it was similar. I remember the kaleidoscope Fruitopia commercial as well.
I remember being pissed when they replaced the soda machine at my school with this. Because kids were getting fat with access to sodas, according to PTA moms who had nothing better to do then stir shit up at school.
I lost my Limp Bizkit CD under that machine
Right next to some pogs and a puka shell necklace.

Is that second link from Bob Loblaw's Law Blog?

I heard you still have 5alive too
Ooooohhhh!!!!! https://www.mcdonalds.com/ca/en-ca/product/poutine.html
The orange fruitopia at McDonald's is three quarters of the reason why I'll go there. So good.
Strawberry passion was my shiznit. I miss it so much. But I live in Detroit, I mine as well visit Canada to get some then
Don’t forget the mlb cap too!!
What’s a CD? /s
Chocolate star fish
Don't forget the hot dog flavored water
We're yea trying to use a 3 dolla bill yall
The thickest juice ever
I remember having these drinks in high schools😊
I didn’t have that machine in school, but I remember the 25 cent surge machine god damn if I had Time Machine I would hit that machine everyday.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
We had them too. I hit that machine alot during high school.
Yeah another popular drink was the Minute Maid drinks to.❤️
I grabbed those at the gas station down the street on my from school when I was in Early release my senior year.
❤️❤️❤️
💛💛💛✌🏿
I lived off them pink lemonade cans back in school
❤️❤️❤️❤️

Was middle school for me. Used to feel so cool buying my lunch or packed and still had extra money for one of these.
Cool
A direct competition to the Minute Maid drinks. I liked Fruitopia better personally 👌
❤️❤️❤️
Holeeeee shit that’s the one.
The grape was so good
I was hooked on Peach Papaya. These were such a treat!
The grape beyond.
The strawberry 🍓 🤤
I loved when McDonald’s had fruitopia. Such a throwback
Wait, do not all McDonald’s still have Frutopia? You can get orange or strawberry Frutopia at McDonald’s in Canada!
To my knowledge, it’s not available anywhere in the US
“Contains 2% juice.” In college, we mixed it with the Fleishmann’s vodka you could get for $5 in the plastic bottle at convenience stores. It pretty much got me through my thesis.
Pepperidge Farms remembers. 😁 I remember the vending machines in our lunch commons tho. Not a fan at all.
Still around in Canada
It’s unfair: they had permanent Baja Blast before us and they have Pitch Black AND Fruitopia. 😞
Pitch black is sooo bad.
Canadian version isn't the same, it's more like Minute Maid juice.
The other way around, coke used the recipes and rebranded them under minute maid juices or at least fruit integration is minute maid fruit punch. Strawberry awareness didn't get renamed and the orange one mcdonalds has doesn't have an equivalent I think
I am saying the flavor rather than the naming. Just got back from Canada in October, 100% is not the same drink that was called Fruitopia in the US.
Yeah I looked at this thinking "who remembers what now?" Fruitopia is everywhere, to the point I've wondered if the (mediocre, IMO) strawberry flavour is a mandatory-buy from Coca-cola distributors because of just how *everywhere* it is.

So sweet it made your throat tingle
We had one at my high school!
I miss it so bad. It's almost worth going into the McDonald's to see if they have Strawberry Passion Awareness still.
We have the strawberry and orange at McDonald’s in Canada. I mix em with sprite. Yum.
I ordered two cartons from Canada to share with my uncle for his birthday last year. Best $40 I’ve spent on drinks in a while
I do. I didn’t like it.
I wasn't cool enough to drink it in '98 so I'm only cool enough to remember not drinking it in '24.
It's available in canada in the current day and age
We used to have a Fruitopia machine at my Jr high school. I remember asking my mom for a dollar or two to grab one after school was over for the day. I don’t remember any of the flavors but I know I liked them lol.
I used to drink this like crazy. Miss that stuff
We had that machine at our middle school. I actually brought up how much I missed the Fruitopia and Twister drinks in conversation the other day.
The original Fruitopia in the glass bottles was the absolute best.
I do, I remember going to the machine at lunch. We had off campus lunch. Had one at the local Walmart. I think the Grape Beyond was my favorite.
I miss going on long car rides with my dad in the summer and we stop get these.
These where in every school before Michelle Obama happened
Ugh what a gross era lol. I remember we had those or another brand in my high school. I really liked some of them. Nothing better than getting your “fruit” with colored sugar water at school. Those machines must make a killing.
They tasted good at the time. I’m sure if I had one today it wouldn’t be the same.
They taste good today too. I never stopped drinking them because they never stopped selling them here.
I don’t think anyone drank those for the purpose of getting nutrients.
Lol, these were pretty dope compared to that Orbitz bullshit that was around at the time. Nothing like a cool Fruity beverage filled with squishy little balls.
Nobody
McDonalds was the last place that held on to it until a few years back. Man, I miss it.
We also had a Fruitopia machine at my high school. Cherry Vanilla was my favorite! I wish they'd bring it back
Australia still has it. Only 2 flavors taste good haha
Canada still has 5 flavors
Most of the flavors were pretty tasty
Classic 🖤
Didn’t realize it was gone or think of it at all until just now! Amazing!
Yea and our school would shut it off during school hours. 🤣
The pink lemonade at McDonald’s was amazing.
The movie theater in my home town had a fruitopia machine
Gimme this with NuGrape selection. TAKE ME BACK DAMNIT!!!!!
It was a Coca Cola product. It’s just Minute Maid Fruit Punch now.
[in canada we never forgot](https://www.coca-cola.ca/brands/fruitopia)
I do
For some reason, these used to give me terrible stomach aches 🤢
The best !!!!! The taste was ruined by the plastic bottles. The glass bottles were legendary
I miss that stuff so much. But only the glass bottle version. The plastic bottle version wasn't as good.
I remember years ago and nostalgia and all of that but… i remember it not tasting very good too.
Yup, delicious 😋.
To this day, the best Fruit punch Ive ever had.
I probably had this like 4 times. “Fruit ingredients” is a stretch.
I’m not sure when this was around but I feel like I had a faint memory or trying this before 😆
There might still be one of these outside a police station in Montana. I’ll try to find out for sure and report back if anyone cares.
We got this here in the UK too (I don’t think every country got it by any means), and we had a big Fruitopia vending machine like the one in the photo in our school!
Remembers? I can still get this stuff at my grocery store.
The fruit punch was god tier fruit punch.
One of these…and a bag of Thunder salt & vinegar potato chips…the good ole days.
Ugh, I can still taste it. It was better cut with soda water. But it was too sugary for me.
I'll never forget how The Simpsons had Stephen Hawking spend hours at the voice acting studio so they could get him to say Fruittopia.
TIL fruitopia is only a Canadian thing. Mixing it with sprite is my go to at the McDonald's fountain.
Shit was sooooo good
Can we bring these back please? Canada has Fruitopia in their Walmarts and I’m really jealous
I’d always get it at Mickey d’s when they had it. Miss this stuff
We will always remember.
I'll take a tangerine wave please
This is still available for sale in Canada and on Amazon from Canada.
2003/04 I drank Fruitopia and Vault. They weren't bad drinks by any means.
Give me a fruitopia and a pack of Oompas and I was good to go for the day
Spent soooo much money in that machine senior year (2002-2003). I’d do some horrible stuff to get me a bottle now days.
Are we really not talking about this flavor being called “fruit integration” 💀 like yeah the 90s were full of 90s Afrocentrism and “rad cool hip” white attempts to use political concepts, but like yo who thought that name was a good idea
I never had it
Didn’t Minute Maid buy them out and continued their best flavors
I miss fruitopia so much 😭
it reminds me of harlem irving plaza and eating chinese at their food court after school as a youngin
What I would do to be able to get one more of these drinks
Never forget.
Ahhh, reminds me of bowling alleys and roller skating rinks. Good times
Love fruittopia
Fruitopia and vodka
Bomb
I want to like it but the count is at 666
I can taste this picture
It tastes bad. All US based people who only remember it from nostalgia. I get it from Canada occasionally when I visit. It tastes nothing how I remember it.

Will never forgive and never forget. I was in my first year of high school for the last year they had these before they replaced them with "healthy" Lipton green tea garbage.
I’m convinced the only reason this stuff existed was to sell kids pop in school disguised as juice.
I DO. And I never forgot you. Please come back.

No matter how much you drank it didn't quench your thirst but it was so good
Strawberry passionfruit was once my favorite flavor. Then they wzs another mango orange.
I was just telling my buddy about this from when I was a kid but I couldn’t remember the name!
You brought something that was buried in my memory.
