Does anyone remember “BEEP drink”?
I drank it at track meets and birthday parties when I was in grade school. I think it may be a Saskatchwan thing… but does anyone else remember it?? It came in a white “milk” type carton with orange writing…I think the packaging boasted that it was 10% real juice. *laugh*
Anyone?
I can’t find any info about it on the interweb.
ADDED LATER:
In my quest to find info on BEEP I found this page. Brilliant!
as mentioned on the American’s Guide to Canada, BEEP is available in the maritimes, too. i recall it as one of those things that was too trashy for my parents to buy, but i always coveted at friends’ houses.
Wasn’t it orange drink?
I remeber BEEP and Vico! Why the heck Vico?
beep and vico are the saskatchewan-est things EVER!

They totally are. Barely anyone not from there has ever had it or even heard of it.

Wasn’t it called “Peep” and there was a little birdie on the cover? I loved that stuff, but we only got to drink it in the summers at the cottage, along with cinnamon buns and other unhealthy stuff.
I totally remember beep. and i swear the sunny d california flavour IS beep….i swear…
I love BEEP! I think they still sell it in Cape Breton. Didn’t have a bird hatching from an egg on the carton? Having BEEP was way better than McDonalds orange drink.
What a great name for a product…BEEP…it is just fun to say.

LOL Beep was a great product! No nutritional value whatsoever and a vibrant unnatural orange colour, it must have been distributed in Saskatchewan by Co-Op dairies because our milkman (remember those guys?) used to deliver it along with our milk 3 times a week. When I was about 10, my brother would have been 4, he was in bed and I brought him a drink of beep to which I had added some tabasco sauce…he drank it and started yipping and hollering and ran downstairs to tell on me…unfortunately our parents had guests over and man was I in trouble…I should mention that I wasn’t in the habit of doing this kind of thing, we sure laugh about it now and my brother’s wife keeps threatening to do something similar to me when I least expect it…
I had beep as a kid, the milk truck brought it daily. I’m looking to see if it is still available. Definitely not a Saskatchewan thing – Im from Ontario!!!
My girlfriend is from Weehawken, New Jersey. I was mentioning my childhood orange drink, and she said “Oh, you mean BEEP”. She is the only American who has ever mentioned it.
I grew up in Richmond, VA (DEFINITELY not Canada!) and we had Beep, although my family never got it. It was delivered with the milk. Came in a carton. And yes, there was a picture of a chick on the carton. Some of my friends even had Beep cups — plastic yellow cups with the red Beep chick. I was so jealous….
I live in North Dakota and my younger brother was under weight and my mother fed him Beep believing that it was loaded with vitamins that could bulk him up.
I grew up in Detroit, and we had Beep, which was delivered by the Wilson’s Dairy milkman.
