Hi , great memories I was in Ada Merritt Jr. high at the time and there were a little store by the corner that is where we use to hang out buying the Pee Wee soda. I went back 3 month ago to get a reunion going and sad to say that little store is long gone. We did have a get together or mini reunion and planning to do another soon.
thanks you for the memories . If anyone here went Ada Merritt please contact me at armando135@aol.com we have a facebook with classmates from 1957-1978 .

I used to buy PeeWees back in 1962-64 in what is now called Little Haiti. I remember they used to leave me wanting more. My favorite flavor was Cherry (or was that strawberry?). Boy, those were the days.

Brian Starkman...that's what I remember, that they weren't carbonated, and they were smaller than a regular bottle of soda. I don't remember a carbonated version, but they may have sold those too. They sold them in south Florida at the 7-11 in my neigborhood (Perrine). I didn't like them as much as regular soda 'cause they weren't carbonated and they seemed so small, so I rarely drank them. But my "best friend" always got one when we rode our bikes to 7-11 to get candy and drinks. I remember a Pee Wee was only 5 cents, cheaper than a regular bottle of soda. I'd usually get a Slurpee if I could afford it, or a Mountain Dew if I couldn't. Wow, that's neat-o. I haven't seen a Pee Wee bottle in over 40 years..!!

I'm from Miami. We got our sodas from a small grocer on 8th st & about 43rd ave. I think it was called Johnny's. We lived about 4 blocks from there, so we walked there all the time. I was the baby in the family, so I thought they made these just for me. I kept one in the fridge for years with water in it for me to drink throughout the day. I don't know what ever happened to it. I've been looking in antique shops and have not found one yet. What a great memory and a great time to be a kid.

I have never seen a Pee-Wee bottle from Florida. It looks identicle to those from Rochester and Syracuse, NY. Do the ones from Florida come in carbonated and non-corbonated varieties like those up north? Bottles from Rochester were 4 and 6 oz

I'm so glad I find this picture. I was starting to think that I was dreaming about all the times my Dad took us to get a pee-wee soda, and I had forgotten all about Utotem. Wow this made my day! Thanks.

Pee-Wees were also sold at the 'tiny tiny' store (a small old wood framed building) on the corner of NW 7th Street and 33rd or 34th avenue, north side. I used to walk up from 32nd place between 11th and 14th streets to buy one and a box of choclolate babydoll candy - tasted like tootsie rolls only better. Anyone know the real name of this store or even remember it ????

I remember these - they were so sweet and 2 sips and it was drunk.......They were sold at all Utotem's
Peggy 14-Jul-2009 04:52
Thank you so much!!! No one remembers these. They were in the cooler at the UtoteM store (on the corner of E 4th ave and 50th street), next to the Nihi soda. I was beginning to think they were a crazy dream. LOL
