Shares of Reddit higher after the company beat both the top and bottom line estimates and gave strong guidance for the start of this year. That stock, in fact, is up by almost 11 percent this morning. Shares of gaming company Roblox soaring after the company reported bookings that came in above what the street was expecting and a smaller than expected loss. It also gave first quarter bookings guidance above expectations, and that stock is up by almost 15 percent.

1:41Buy now, pay later company Affirm reporting a 30 percent increase in sales for the most recent quarter of one point one billion dollars that topped Wall Street expectations. The company also issuing upbeat guidance for the full year. and Coca-Cola announcing that it is discontinuing sales of Minute Maid frozen juice concentrates in the United States and Canada, instead opting to focus on fresh juices that customers prefer. Frozen Minute Maid orange juice debuted 80 years ago in 1946. I remember it being a staple, that with frozen orange juice, that with frozen lemonade in the freezer at all times.

Frozen. Well, maybe there was. It would always take a while. You'd be trying to get it out. And sometimes you'd just finally say, okay, and use a spoon and dig it out. Dig it out and you stir it up with water. Yeah. Add it in. I don't remember. Yeah. We'll be back later today with Squawk Pod, our daily podcast featuring the best of Squawk Box.
