"We got OJ, purple stuff, soda, ...Sunny D!"

Cafe Society
1

This was the 90s. Apparently there was no such thing as “water.”

2

Didn’t you know? No one drank water in the '90s.

3

Of course there was no water. Water was insufficiently EXTREME! for our hydration needs in those days.

4

It’s so surprising a beverage company wouldn’t sell the idea that water is an acceptable drink to suggestible kids.

5

My favorite was the salty tears of the innocent. Really ramped up the old electrolytes.

6

W. C. Fields was right, you know.

7

Sunny D had an oily taste that I couldn’t stand. I’d rather have had orange Kool-Aid than Sunny D.

8

I, for one, am disappointed to see Purple Stuff polling so poorly.

9

OJ. There’s nothing like a nice glass of pulpy orange juice.

10

And the milk industry weeps…

11

They were looking in the refrigerator. Water wasn’t in the refrigerator, it came out of a faucet!

Right now, it’s leading OJ.:eek:

WTF is “Purple Stuff” really supposed to be? Generic grape soda, grape kool-aid, Concord grape juice or something else entirely?

I always went for soda.

13

Sunny-D here. Checks poll. Wait? I’m really the first vote? Come on Sunny-D lovers! If anything, it at least makes for a great grilled chicken marinade(look it up, and don’t knock it till you try it!)

14

Where’s that quote from? It’s really familiar for some reason.

15

One of several commercials in the 80s and/or the early 90s.

16

Purple burple.

17

I always figured that “purple stuff” was Purplesaurus Rex Kool-Aid (a very popular flavor of that time).

Sunny Delight tasted like Tang’s wicked, goatee-wearing twin.

18

Why would we need water when we had Snapple?

19

I always figured “purple stuff” was something like this - a generic gallon of “fruit drink” from the grocery or convenience store. They came in flavors like orange (not “orange juice” but “orange-colored and orange-flavored juice”), red (fruit punch), purple (grape) and apparently blue (blue is very 2000s.)

What exactly is Sunny D? I may have tried it once and it came across as a mix of OJ and pineapple juice with some added sugar.
