New York (CNN) — 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. The Minute Maid name, created three years later, implied the “convenience and ease of preparation” of the drink. However, as refrigeration and pasteurization technology advanced in the following decades, the need for frozen juices fell out of popularity, replaced by fresh alternatives. But frozen juices continue to struggle: Category sales fell nearly 8% for the 52-weeks ending on January 24, according to market research firm NIQ.
