> [@grude](#): > > Not really Tang is flavor and coloring along with sweetener and makes one liter, Koolaid is just flavor and coloring without sweetener and makes two liters(gotta add your own suga’). Not always. You can buy it with sugar added (both real sugar or splenda type stuff). Tang here typically came in jars from what I remember and was always orange flavor. It’s been years since I saw some here in Texas. In Mexico, tang comes in several flavors. ---

> [@Bytegeist](#): > > Similarly, I wonder the same thing about the York Peppermint Patty commercials, which Family Guy has also spoofed. Since everyone else ignored this part, I’ll take a shot at it. Especially since I just saw this commercial. Peppermint Patty’s got a man now. He takes a bite and wind blows through his sexy hair and he makes sexy faces at the sexy camera as he chews on sexy mint and chocolate. He does not, however, moan in ecstasy. ---

It’s only natural. But Kool-Aid Man seems to be the one and only example of his kind, so my own speculation is that he’s some sort of _golem_, or demigod, and is free of our worldly needs and habits. ---

I don’t know about Kool-Aid Man having sex. He seems like more of an asexual budding kind of guy to me. ---

Reminds me of when they did the Soap reference: “Will our younger viewers get this Soap reference?” I’d actually like to know the answer to that question. Which reminds me: I FRICK’N MISS SOAP!! ---
