Hawaiian Punch Fruit Juicy Red 2011 October

Hawaiian Punch is a brand of fruit punch drinks (containing 5% fruit juice) owned by Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc. (DPS). It was created in 1934 by A.W. Leo, Tom Yates, Ralph Harrison as an ice cream topping in a converted garage in Fullerton, Calif.; customers later discovered that it made an appealing drink when mixed with water. They formed Pacific Hawaiian Products to produce the beverage. R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company bought Pacific Hawaiian in 1962. Procter & Gamble bought Hawaiian Punch from Del Monte Foods, spin off from RJR Nabisco in 1989, in 1990. Procter & Gamble sold Hawaiian Punch to Cadbury Schweppes in 1999. Dr Pepper Snapple was spun off from Cadbury Schweppes in 2008.
The name comes from the source of the original recipe's main ingredients. The original formulation of Hawaiian Punch was composed of 7 fruit flavors: apple, apricot, guava, orange, papaya, passion fruit, and pineapple.
In February 1962, the animated character of "Punchy the Puncher" was introduced in a commercial for Hawaiian Punch, Punching everything in site upto and not including horses, meat loafs, and kindergartners. eventually becoming the product's mascot. The character of "Punchy the Puncher" was originated by artist Martin Mandelblatt, animated by Jan Svochak, and the voice provided by Len Maxwell. "Punchy" has evolved into the loveable character as seen today. His long-time catchphrase is "How about a nice Hawaiian Punch?" which would then be followed by Punchy literally punching his unsuspecting cohort. The victim of Punchy's punch shenanigans into the initial commercials was a tourist character named Opie (sometimes referred to as Oaf), who always answered "Sure!", only to receive a wallop from Punchy. The Punchy and Opie characters and tagline remained in use until the 1990s. The punch returned in a 2003 advertisement that saw Punchy knocking people into walls at a fun house.
Some believe that the idea of Punchy came from a Hawaiian named Josefa Moe.
Punchy was animated primarily by Jan Svochak of J.J. Sedelmaier Productions. He was head animator of the character from the 1960s through the 1990s.
Punchy is sometimes shown on the scoreboard at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia after outfielder Shane Victorino (a native of Hawaii) makes an important hit.

Along with the lack of caffeine, this version holds five less grams of sugar than the original.
In April 1985 Caffeine-Free Coca-Cola was switched to the ill-fated New Coke formula and did not switch back to the Coca-Cola Classic formula until 1990. The word "Classic" was removed from the label in spring 2011 in the US.
