POG (drink)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
POG is a tropical drink created by Haleakala Dairy on Maui, Hawaii that consists of a blend of juices from passionfruit, orange, and guava fruits (hence the P.O.G.).
The caps to the bottles inspired the fad game "Pogs" (or "Milkcaps"), which was popular during the early-to-mid-1990s.
The 90's craze using these milk caps was initiated by one Blossom Galbiso, a teacher in Hawaii in 1991. She started using the milkcaps in her classroom, and told her students about an old game she used to play, by flipping milkcaps to be the first one to get the cream off the bottom. Her students began flipping the milkcaps, and the resurgence of the game of pogs began.
On the West Coast, however, it's generally found in half-gallon cardboard Tetra Pak containers, leaving non-Hawaii residents completely confused as to where to find the POG cap. It's distributed by Orchards Hawaii for Haleakala Dairy.
The mascot of POG is called the Poglodyte, is covered in yellow fur, stands about ten inches tall, and is known for his happy-go-lucky personality. Poglodyte dolls are considered to be good luck.
