While I was cleaning my kitchen cabinets this morning, I found some weird-ass packets of Kool Aid I found at my local supermarket earlier this year - stuff like Mango flavored Kool Aid, Pineapple flavored Kool Aid, Icy Green Apple flavored Kool Aid...

...and JAMAICA flavored Kool Aid.

So out of curiosity, I busted out my pitcher and made some.

It's dark blood red and opaque and it kinda smells like pomegranate juice.

I've yet to try it because I wanted to let it get cold in the fridge first.

And I'm scared of it a little.

How can a beverage taste like a country?!? How???

I'd like to try Ivory Coast flavored Kool Aid

That's CRAZY!

I wanna know what Jamaica tastes like!

YUM


share ???

sounds good. I love mixing pineapple juice and ginger ale with Grape Kool-Aid.

i drunk it one time back in the day and i didn't like it but i had friends who swore it was their choice of drink. but what did they know? we were all 16-17

If it's stank, you can always dye your hair with it.

Anxiety said:

Anxiety said:

Did you find it in your regular, ole grocery store?

Anxiety said:

Looks like kids food!

althom said:

shut your piecake!

applekisses said:

yeah, in its own little display kiosk and everything, right in the middle of the produce section.

i think they were using the "WTF?!?" approach of marketing new product.

Anxiety said:

Especially if they put it in the produce section.

Anxiety said:

Was it in the toy section?

althom said:

i've got your 'toy section', buddy.

i'll try it tomorrow and give my full review. it's just so gross that kool aid takes a whole CUP of sugar. has anyone ever tried substituting it with equal or something? would that be too nasty? that's a damn lot of sugar.

Add vodka!
