Encyclopedia
BoKu was a fruit juice brand released in the United States
from 1990 to 2003 by McCain Citrus, Inc.
It was sold in a box, much like competitors such as Minute Maid
.
BoKu was marketed as "adult" juice, as juice boxes were commonly attributed to grade-school children because of their small size and easy ability to pack in a lunch. Consequently, BoKu juice boxes were larger, omitted a straw in favor a pull tab, and was offered in flavors considered more suitable for adults.
BoKu's television ads featured comedian Richard Lewis
. Lewis would be seen standing in front of the camera, holding a BoKu box and espousing how the product was suited more for adults than children.
