Baron Von Lemon
Baron Von Lemon was a delicious powdered drink, introduced in the then fast growing American market by the Pillsbury franchise during the late 1960’s or to be more precise, in 1967. Around the same time two more drinks of nature very similar to Baron Von Lemon were introduced into the American market; these two drinks were Crash Orange and Reginald Van Lime. These two powdered drinks were also made by the Pillsbury Company itself. At its inception, Baron Von Lemon was sold for ten cents a quart (it formed a quart after the addition of water). (more…)

Funny Face Drink Mix
Funny Face Drink Mix was started by the Pillsbury Company in 1964. Initially it was started as a diet drink. It was a diet drink because, it contained no sugar but only artificial sweeteners were added to it. Funny Face Drink Mix used calcium cyclamate as a sweetener. But later calcium cyclamate was changed to saccharine because the FDA had banned cyclamates. But then it was promoted by Pillsbury as a children’s drink. Funny Face Drink Mix had a wide range of flavors. Pillsbury gave each of its flavors a unique character or a unique funny face. Due to effective advertising campaigns it appealed to a lot of children. Even parents preferred Funny Face Drink Mix because it contained no added sugar and was a very healthy alternative to carbonated drinks and fruit juices.
