What was your favorite Kool-Aid flavor as a kid?

[Montauk6]

Since we hear this so often in the political realm, I thought, wow, let's go back to a time when Kool-Aid had a fun, positive vibe; before that idiot Jim Jones, ahem, MISUSED the product, so to speak.

1. Contrary to popular belief, Kool-Aid was not used...

In the Jonestown mass suicide. It was Flavor Aid.

7. Wow, I never knew that. I guess it just sounds better

to say "the press really drank the Kool-Aid" vs. "the press really drank the Flavor Aid."

2. We weren't allowed Kool-Aid

Hi-C was about the best we could get. Grape was king.

4. Purple-Saurus Rex

6. YES! Purple-Saurus Rex was the totally awesomest!

I about died when they stopped making it.

BTW, I used to have a cat I called "Scoots."

5. I used to mix flavors.

My earliest mixed drinks.... ah the memories.

10. My son used to love "The Great Bludini"

I always just liked grape.

11. Hmmm allergic to red food coloring

gotta go with Lime I guess?

[Bridget Burke]

12. Cherry--but, basically, anything but Lime.

Does anyone remember Fizzies?

[Montauk6]

14. Is Fizzies the tablet you throw in a glass of water to make juice

mad-scientist style?

13. Black Cherry is my favorite!

15. I still drink kool-aid everyday.

It doesn't bloat me like carbonated drinks do and it quenches my thirst. Lime and orange are my favorites but I like all the standard flavors except strawberry and lemonade. Of the non-standards, I like the mango and tangerine. I really, really miss the kiwi-lime. Wish I could still get that one.
