    I got Sharkleberry Fin few years ago before they stopped selling it at Kroger. They also had Purplesaurus Rex and Rock-a-Dile Red which I tried recently, really good flavors! Kraft needs to make more of those flavors, I’m sick of seeing aisles of cans of seltzer water!

I am guessing I'm around your age Chris, my mom ordered us the Kool Aid game (Atari 2600 version) with our KoolAid points back in the day. 4-6 weeks later I finally got the game and stopped playing it as soon as I started. As a kid, I didn't know what the hell to do. Later in life, I really love the game and play it from time to time. Thanks for the great info about a nostalgic drink.

    Nostalgic overload. You said it right my good old Chris. I see Kool Aid as a Pac-Man-like alternate universe... hahaha... they have these awesome characters, very colorful and pretty, different themes, environments, and all. Pretty much like a good cartoon from the 80's. When I think Kool Aid I pretty much think of cartoons and fun... good old, classic childhood memories. Thanks a lot for this video.
    By the way, where did you get all your Kool Aid merchandise? I love the pitcher, would love to get one, and where did you get all your different Kool Aids? Did you keep them under your bed all these years ?

    @Tall_Order Před 2 lety +2

    My favorite flavor was tropical punch. I collected the proof of purchases, but I forgot what I ever used them for. I miss the 80s and 90s. Everything for kids felt edgy gross or madmax-ish. I'm not sure what happened. Everything is bland and plain now. It's like a reverse of what the boomers used to complain about. They were like "kids these days and their loud metal music, neon colors, and ripped clothing". Now for me its "kids these days with their soft music, their flat user interfaces, and their normal clothing". And it's not that they like these things either. If you show them the stuff we grew up with they kinda want it.

    as a non american, i got on the Kool aid very late and it was very underwhelming as a beverage , as kids , we were all about TANG , the orange flavored one, i think the first time i had Kool aid was in those small plastic bottles with the top u had to yank out, then some pouches and finally the small packets , lately i found some Crush cherry limeade that is kind tastier, but to this day, i am on a quest to find GFUEL, but it still eludes me.....
