How many times in your life, both as a kid and as an adult, have you attended some school, church or other function and there was a table set up with cups and cups of that sweet, syrupy orange drink from McDonald’s?
My guess is that for most of you it was a lot.
Well, fuck you and your memories, says Mickey D’s because they’re taking an axe to that shit.
That’s right, beginning on May 1st, McDonald’s will begin discontinuing their classic Hi-C Orange Lavaburst drink and will be replacing it with Sprite TropicBerry, whatever the blue hell that is.

According to WGN…
The fast-food chain will begin phasing out the beverage on May 1, according to a memo posted this week on Reddit. A representative for McDonald’s told Eat This, Not That that all locations will stop carrying the drink after July.
According to the memo, the chain is introducing a new “proprietary” beverage called Sprite TropicBerry that will be served exclusively at McDonald’s locations. It’s part of the company’s partnership with Coca-Cola.
McDonald’s website touts Hi-C Orange Lavaburst as “packed with crisp citrus flavor,” but customers won’t be able to enjoy it for much longer. You may still have time to order the drink because McDonald’s locations are advised to keep selling it until their current supply is gone.
As you can imagine, folks are NOT happy about this…
Customers: Your ice cream machines never work, fix them?
McDonald's: You spoke, we listened. Hi-C orange will soon be phased out. Thank you

McDonald is gettin’ rid of their Hi-C Orange. They should get rid of their ice cream machine since that sumbitch is always broken anyway. 🇺🇸

Damn I really don't have any reasons to go to McDonald's anymore for real. They won't have Hi-C anymore.

@McDonalds plz don't discontinue #HiCOrange. Hi-C & McChickens is my version of Milk & Cookies. The flavor combo breathes life into my day.

McDonald's is getting rid of Orange Hi-C. My whole childhood is dead. I used to always get that instead of orange juice in the mornings.

RIP McDonald's HI-C Orange drink. My hangovers will never be the same.
