Childhood memories with Sunkist

I was very surprised, Sunkist (sun-kissed) is a real american product and I found it last year at "Lidl". But unfortunately not in the famous sunkist tetrahedron package.

Sunkist is a brand of primarily orange flavored soft drinks launched in 1979.
Sunkist was first licensed by Sunkist Growers to the General Cinema Corporation, the leading independent bottler of Pepsi-Cola products at the time...

Sunkist Growers, Incorporated is a citrus growers' non-stock membership cooperative composed of 6,000 members from California and Arizona. It is headquartered in the Sherman Oaks district of Los Angeles.Through 31 offices in the United States and Canada and four offices outside North America, its sales in 1991 totalled $956 million. It is the largest fresh produce shipper in the United States, the most diversified citrus processing and marketing operation in the world, and one of California's largest land-owners..

What is an Italian Beef Sandwich?

An Italian beef is a sandwich of thin slices of seasoned roast beef, dripping with meat juices, on a dense, long Italian-style roll, believed to have originated in Chicago, where its history dates back at least to the 1930s.[1] The bread itself is often dipped (or double-dipped) into the juices the meat is cooked in, and the sandwich is typically topped off with Chicago-style giardiniera (called "hot") or sauteed, green Italian sweet peppers (called "sweet").

Italian beef sandwiches can be found at most hot dog stands and small Italian-American restaurants throughout the city of Chicago and its suburbs. They are difficult to find outside the Chicago metropolitan area. However, Chicago expatriates have opened restaurants across the country serving Italian beef,
Chicago-style hot dogs, and other foods original to the Chicago area.
