Mixing Kool-Aid with sparkling water would give you a nice foamy explosion.
Their reply was as informative as the reply I received from Morton Salt Co. I asked why a product was not available. Their reply summed up was, because they don’t make it. Well duh, that’s why I asked why not.
I keep expecting to see a warning on Diet Coke not to consume with Menthos.
Could be fluoride overloading. Products that go through a series of dehydration and rehydration steps during manufacturing and preparation can get unexpectedly high levels if fluoridated water is used throughout the process. Check out Tea, instant, powder, unsweetened… granted that’s the powder, but you still get 5 times the fluoride of regular tap water when prepared.
And to bring in Lambo’s comment… grapes seem to have a naturally high fluoride content. Considering the market for Kool-Aid is growing kids, they probably put the warning there due to fluoride concerns.
Grape and Tropical punch, both with the warning.
dead Sea Monkeys? :mad:
Kool Aid doesn’t use real grapes to flavor the product, so what is in grapes doesn’t matter. I have a feeling that one of the artificial compounds will react with the fluoride. I was hoping a chemist would comment after the ingredients were listed.
Just to report in, while I have yet to do the tap water vs distilled water experiment, I can report with confidence that vodka most definitely changes the flavor.
I’ll answer even though you didn’t ask me. Because it encourages me to drink more, especially in the summer months. If I get it from the tap, I will drink just a few sips. I don’t really like water. If I pull the bottle from the fridge, chances are extremely high I will drink the whole bottle.
I am aware I don’t need anything like 8 bottles…but bottles ensure I stay hydrated. And I don’t buy that often, as I drink tons of seltzer…but it’s still nice to have.
Not to mention there’s still no better way to pack water in a coolre than to throw a bunch of bottles in there.
I’m still waiting to find out about the Dead Sea monkeys. I guess they’d make it very salty…
Well, only one better way, and that’s to freeze the bottles first*. Then you don’t need ice for your cooler, and your water is nice and cold when you want it. I buy a case of water for this purpose before every camping trip. Otherwise, I only buy bottled water if I’m out without my Nalgene bottle and I’m thirsty.
*buy only cheap water for this. Fuji and other expensive bottles are too rigid and can crack as the water expands, unless you pour out a third of the water in each one first. Cheap soft bottles have enough give to expand as the water freezes and can be frozen unopened.
No no, I did not add dead Sea Monkeys to anything. I had a tank of Sea Monkeys a few years ago which I got as a birthday present. I bought a gallon of distilled water to refill the tank as the tank water evaporated. Sadly, the Sea Monkeys all died suddenly and I have almost the entire gallon of distilled water left, where it’s been sitting untouched in a corner of my living room ever since.

Well, someone had to say it…
Some of it may just be a question of volume of the product. To make 8 ounces of regular Kool-aid requires 17 grams of product containing 16 grams of sugar. The single serve packet has 7.7 grams of product with 7 grams of sugar. At the same time it reduces the calories by 50% it reduces the amount of product you have to stuff into the bottle by the same amount.
If you let the tank of dead sea monkey soup evaporate to dryness and then refilled it, chances are good you’d get a whole new generation of sea monkeys.
