What does an Orange Kist mean to you?
Orange Kist isn't a beverage or a pie!
It is a sugar coated jelly candy (like a gummy bear) with the form of an orange segment or orange carpel!
Actually, the original Orange Kist was packed in about three carpels/segments per pack. If I remember it right, it cost about five or ten centavos in the late 60s and early 70s (that long ago!!!)!
Since my Dad said it taste good, I used to buy a small pack to give to my Dad every time he fetched me from school and I was still Prep or Grade 1 then!
So the Orange Kist jelly was my daily gift to my beloved Dad. In retrospect, I am wondering, "Did he really love the Orange Kist?" ... or ... "Was he just happy that I gave him a gift everyday?"
I never really asked him. All I know is I love my Dad (Daddy's girl!.. since I am an only girl with 5 brothers!) and I was just so very happy to please him everyday!!!
The last time I saw the Orange Kist jelly at the Barter Trade, I bought a pack and remembered that this candy is still as yummy as before!
