According to Mental Floss, a Dollar Tree store manager couldn’t explain why this particular drink is so popular, adding, “A lot of people stop at our store on the way to work or wherever, so it’s kind of a quick pick-up .” A familiar face, even one of a cartoon duck, might be comforting to see in a store of less familiar names. According to The Orlando Sentinel, Walt Lincer, a spokesperson for Citrus World’s Donald Duck product line in the 1980s, even stated that having the face of Donald Duck on products was a sign of quality and “instant recognition.”

But do customers really think this juice is a quality product? People on Influenster who purchased the orange juice at such locations as Dollar Tree and Walmart seem to give Donald Duck orange juice generally positive reviews. Some praised the drink for not being “too sweet” or even tasting like “real oranges” while others had fond childhood memories of it. However, consumers complained that it had a “less than fresh” flavor or “weird aftertaste.” But not all duck juices are orange. At least some Dollar Trees reportedly offer as many as eight types of Donald Duck juice, including apple, grape, and kiwi strawberry (via YouTube)

Strangely enough, Donald Duck’s face has been placed on everything from sherbet to root beer to even flounder (via Disney Food Blog). . An impressively long history for such a short-tempered duck.
