RealGold Orange Juice

Does anyone remember an orange drink called RealGold Orange Juice? It was a concentrate that came in a little can about the size of a can of tomato paste? This was about 30 plus years ago and I remember my grandma always bought it.

I have never heard of RealGold juce, but I found this reference:

He bought a division of Pure Gold called Real Gold, and turned it into one of the nation's leading exporters of concentrated fruit juice. Real Gold was purchased in 1961 by Coca-Cola...

It's in a rootsweb page about Major John L. Doyle.

Yes, I remember drinking this on trips to visit my grandparents in Arkansas. I never saw it in Wisconsin, where I lived (maybe we just never bought it).

The cans came in six or eight packs if I recall correctly.
