    Ask today’s generation about V8 juice and you’ll probably get some strange looks. For Baby Boomers, however, it’s long been a staple of their diet. V8 juice is a tomato-based juice that contains 8 different vegetables. After its beginnings in 1933, it became a popular juice for families looking to incorporate more veggies into their diet.

    10.                Lipton Iced Tea

    In 1964, the already household name of Lipton released an iced tea powder that made it possible for people to quickly and easily make their own iced tea. Other powdered drinks, as were iced teas, were gaining popularity, and Lipton jumped on both trends. Today, Baby Boomers still love drinking Lipton Iced Tea, the 10th most popular beverage of their generation.

    11.                Canada Dry
