Biography

The members of the alternative CCM band Squirt play a fairly typical amalgam of popular late-'90s alternative rock styles -- Nirvana-esque post-grunge, punk-pop, a touch of ska -- but it's not their sound that sets them apart, it's their extremely young age. At the time their debut album, Huge, was released in 1998, drummer and founding member Jordan Dickerson was only 11, while guitarist Chris Fewell (a replacement for original member Blake Kaiser) and bassist Matt Smith (also a replacement, for Torrey Burkum) were both 13. Dickerson's father, former Prince guitarist Dez Dickerson, runs the Absolute record label to which Squirt was signed; the two Dickersons conceived of the group as an opportunity to spread the gospel to young listeners more likely to identify with kids their own age. The band's first single, 1998's "Go!," was recorded with the original lineup of Dickerson, Burkum, and Kaiser; Fewell and Smith joined up in time to complete the recording of Huge. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide

12 ounce can of Squirt

Squirt is a caffeine-free citrus-flavored soft drink created in 1938.

Contents

Development

Developed by Herb Bishop, the new product was called "Squirt" because the drink was claimed to "squirt" into one's mouth like a freshly squeezed grapefruit.[1]

Product Line

Ruby Red Squirt 12-Packs

Squirt is naturally flavored but contains less than 1% grapefruit juice. Squirt, like many other sodas, has had many different types of bottles and logos.

In 1983 Diet Squirt, the first soft drink in the United States to be sweetened with aspartame, was introduced.[citation needed]

In the mid 1980s, a vitamin-C-enriched Diet Squirt Plus was briefly marketed.[citation needed]

In 1993, Ruby-Red Squirt, featuring a citrus-berry flavor and containing caffeine, was added to the product line.[citation needed]

In 2008, a new offering called Squirt Citrus Power was introduced. Unlike regular Squirt, Squirt Citrus Power is caffeinated, lacks concentrated grapefruit juice, and contains tangerine and other ingredients similar to an energy drink.

Ownership

Ownership of the Squirt brand has changed hands several times. It is currently property of Dr Pepper Snapple Group.

Ingredients

Carbonated water, High fructose corn syrup, Concentrated grape fruit juices, citric acid, Modified food starch, Sodium benzoate(preservative), Natural flavors, Glycerol ester of wood rosin, Brominated vegetable oils.

Health Risks

A man who drank eight liters of Ruby Red Squirt daily had a reaction that caused his skin color to turn red and produced lesions diagnosed as bromoderma. The excessive quantities together with the fact that the man had a higher than normal sensitivity to bromine made this an unusual case.[2]
