Kool-Aide Master List

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

This list serves purpose in triplicate. First, a master list of all Kool-Aide flavors. Second, a strong condemnation of certain flavors. Third, a recounting of Kool-Aide ‘seasons.’

Okay, I’ll start with a few flavors.

[ul]
[li]Grape[/li][li]Cherry[/li][li]Strawberry[/li][li]Orange[/li][li]Lemonade[/li][li]Pink Lemonade[/li][li]Watermelon[/li][/ul]

Second, I think Kool-Aide made a huge mis-step in removing their ‘saurus’ flavors from the market, and replacing them with the horrid ‘tropical’ flavors. The tropical flavorings are nothing more than putrid, random fruits thrown together willy-nilly with little or no consideration for flavor or bouquet. Pathetic. I expect more from a giant red pitcher.

What ‘seasons’ do you all remember? I don’t remember what ‘season’ Kool-Aide was in when I was a very small kid (early 80’s) but I can vividly remember when Kool-Aide entered the ‘saurus’ ‘season’ in the late 80’s, and continued it to the early to mid 90’s. A few years ago, though, they shifted into the ‘tropical’ ‘season’ which is just… shit. Hopefully, they’ll soon move into another product line, which I would hope is more tasty and wonderfulifisus than the current one.

They had ‘Rock-a-dlie Red’ a cherry lemonade that kicked ass!

Now I drink the raspberry lemonade one, (the name escapes me - blue package) its almost glow in the dark blue!

3

The main thing I remember about Kool-Aide is whenever I drank the grape flavor, my shit would be a bright, neon green.

Now THAT’S cool!

4

Mmm…Purplesaurus Rex.

Sharkleberry Fin.

Ecto-Cooler.

Oh I remember those. I have also been drinking the Raspberry Lemonade one now. I think it has some name like Ice Blue but I am not sure. My favourite at the time was Berry Blue. Now nothing could beat Berry Blue. Even the Raspberry Lemonade doesn’t taste the same. Orange Kool Aid is just nasty and should only be served to infidels. Grape is pretty good. I used to like Tropical Punch Kool Aid and can drink it still but it reminds me of dead babies. It is a long story, well semi long. If anyone is interested I will be happy to write back the details.

HUGS!

I couldn’t agree with you more! I had the exact same thought. They must have just grabbed a bunch of leftover flavor powder that they swept off the floor and called it “Tropical” flavors. Sheesh!

I think Orange Kool-Aid is cool!

My all time favorite will always be Cherry though. It is just so…so…wonderfully cherrylicious! Plus, it stains like a mofo! That’s cool!

Mmmmmm… dead babies.
Now thems good eatin’.

Honey, ChiefScott is scaring me… :wink: oops

Well Kool-Aid is now in a Mega Mountain Twist season.
I know this because there is a mountain-like stack of Kool-Aid packages in the cupboard, unfortunately there isn no gin in the house.

Anyway, a couple of the flavors we have here are Soarin’ Strawberry Lemonade & Blastin’ Berry Cherry.

Soarin’? Blastin? Do they think these adjectives really sell more Kool-Aid? Damn, I’m thirsty. HEY KOOL-AID!

OH YEAH!

I suspect, that unless one of you is a really, really big Kool-Aid fanatic (and I must admit, that wouldn’t surprise me), we could probably just start making up flavor names and nobody would be the wiser. Isn’t that what Kool-Aid does anyway?

Krazyberry Splash
Rip-Roarin’ Razzmaberry
Lemonlime Lizard-ade
Purpley-poo Grapedy Goo
VeryCherryBerry-ific!
Keeno Greeno

and, my personal favorite…

Orange-atang Monkey Punch

Yummmy.

Lefty Lemonade
Chinese (later Choo-Choo) Cherry
Rootin’ Tootin’ Raspberry
Injun (later Jolly Olly) Orange
These were the “Funny Faces,” a drink similar to Kool-Ade. Each character wore a different hat, based on his character. Chinese Cherry (who wore a coolie hat) and Injun Orange (feathered headdress) later changed respectively to Choo-Choo (railroad cap) and “Jolly Olly,” a pirate.

12

Mmmmmmmmm…Black Cherry. I think they have given it some “kewl” new name, but the flavor lives on…

My fondest memories of Kool Aid involve mixing it with vodka when I was a rebellious little sprout. Kinda symbolic, dontcha think?

13

Ha! I remember the Funny Faces. They even made plastic mugs in the shape of each of them, I had them all.

The best kool-aide was making a packet of berry blue and a packet of lemonade in a gallon pitcher. The resulting ambrosia was a comforting grey color.

Ever try putting clear watermelon kool-aid in the water jug in the fridge. Good way to surprise ppl.

Did anyone else’s mom ever try sugar twin in koolaid instead of sugar? Nothing else tastes that vile.

Actually http://www.misslink.net/donovan/koolafaq.html is much better than the homepage as it doesn’t contain as much spam. That is the place where I discovered that Berry Blue Kool Aid’s blue dye caused cancer among other things. I want my cancer back.

PS. I was a former Kool Aid fanatic. Tropical Punch Kool Aid = Dead babies.
