On a recent trip to Pick n’ Save I rediscovered Five Alive, the delicious citrus drink. I didn’t know they still made this stuff. If you’re unfamiliar with what i’m talking about, do yourself a favor and pick up a carton sometime soon. It’s like the best orange juice you’ve ever had, but five times better.

yes! five alive is my drink of choice. unfortunately, minute maid started putting high fructose corn syrup in them and i can no longer consume them because of my intolerance for that stuff. i can’t find it anywhere, but i looked it up online. where did you find five alive?

I’m glad to know that i’m not alone in my enthusiasm for this delicious citrus beverage. It’s the best, isn’t it?!! In the Milwaukee area, i’ve found it at both Sentry and Pick N Save grocery stores.

i haven’t been able to find 5 Alive anywhere for a couple years now, except for the frozen concentrate which isn’t nearly as good. i live in new england - does anyone know where you can buy some?

FIVE ALIVE ROCKS!

I live in Vermont and make the occasional trip across the border into Canada just to buy Five Alive. I usually buy the 12 pack of cans that’s sold alongside Coke and other such products. You can get Five Alive Citrus, Tropical, and Peach at any Canadian grocery store and even many vending machines. I remember getting it all the time as a kid and when I rediscovered it while living in Canada for a year I was rehooked. And you’re right, the concentrated form doesn’t do it justice (and is only available in one flavor.)

After many years of enjoying 5 Alive Walmart and others have pulled 5 Alive. Does anyone know where in the South (particularly N. Alabama area) 5 Alive is still being sold? Does anyone know if it is going to be pulled from the market? Who makes it and where might one complain to the producer? Thanks for info….

I was just looking for 5 Alive for a friend who was looking for it, and I must say it is hard to locate. I am in Scottsdale, Arizona and have no idea where to look, but it’s been fun looking, if anyone has any ideas, or websites that can help me out, that would be fantastic! Thanks. Good luck to all of us! Peace out. :P
