What Hawaiian juice brand lent its name to a 1990's fad. What was the fad?

Pogs (also Milkcaps) is the name of a game that was popular from the early-to-mid-1990s. It got its name from POG, a brand of fruit juice (made from passion fruit, orange and guava); the caps of POG bottles were originally used to play the game. Pog originated in Hawaii around the 1930s, and was repopularized when the Canada Games Company reintroduced them to the American mainstream public in the mid-1990s, where they became popular with pre-teens. It is possible that the game traced its origins to the Japanese card game called Menko.
