1965
“Edible juice” [Juice C] was born
“Edible juice” [Juice C] was born, tarting with powdered juice, which was a popular product of Kabaya at that time. We took hints on vitamin preparations from pharmaceutical manufacturers with a view to providing a more delicious product more easily. We thereby added vitamin C and solidified it into a tablet for sale. “Juice + Vitamin C → Juicy C” was the origin of the name (the product name at that time was “Juicy C Cut”).
After that, it became no longer possible to add vitamin C, with changes in Japanese dietary habits. From around 1980, Juice C began to contain calcium, a nutrient essential for the growth of children. Currently, we are in an era of satiation, or over-nutrition, but Juicy C still contains calcium, which is also lacking in modern people.
Whereas the “Ramune” tablet, soft and easy to be melted, was popular among children at that time, the hard tablet of “Juicy C”, delivered the refreshing feeling was newly reflected in the eyes of children and was a splendid hit. Originally, it had three flavors: orange, lemon, and mint. -
