Citrus Sipper
KIOSK

KIOSK says ‘When I began thinking about Florida the first product that came to mind was the Citra Sipper. At that time I did not know the name nor had I ever tried one. I just always wanted one, in fact, I wanted one bad, but when I was a kid in the wilds of New Jersey this object was only rumored to exist, witnessed by a few lucky neighborhood kids who visited their grandparents with their cousins in Florida every Winter. This was before the time of documenting your holiday with video so no one ever showed me the thing in action, they only described it to me with much relish and one person, after I demanded proof of the mythological Floridian beast, actually managed to provide evidence in the form of a Polaroid photo, albeit I could not tell if they were sucking the orange and just pretending or if the SIP was actually there. The proof was shoddy! However I being myself always longed for this THING that allowed you to drink directly from an orange. Delicious, delectable and tracked down for you by us and still unimaginably made in Florida. Launched at the 1933 Worlds Fair by the current owners grandfather. It was originally made in wax with peppermint flavor added so you could eat it after you were done with the orange. Works great with Valencia and juice oranges.’
