Maybe.

I haven't had Kool Aid in yeeeeears. It's something for kids and people who can't buy better and healthier beverages, as far as I'm concerned.

But it makes the best punch (for baby showers and things like that), no matter how old you are --- you mix that stuff in with diet soda and ice cream (has to be diet soda or you're going to die), and you are SET. Your teeth are going to fall out, but it's soooo good.

Well, then it's no longer Kool Aid. It is a mixture in a much granderererer concoction. As long as you don't drink that stuff regularly, you're fine.

That makes me think of those huge tubs of concentrate that you can buy to mix with ginger ale (and ice cream, if you want). Those are also good.

Still healthier for kids than soda, with all the high fructose corn syrup. My mom would make regular koolaid sometimes, but not all the time or anything. Soda was only for like, birthday parties or eating out or something. We drank a lot of cranberry juice (that ocean spray cranberry cocktail stuff) when I was growing up, and looking at the labels now, I'm betting it had just as much sugar as koolaid (although slightly better vitamin content).

We weren't allowed to have Sunny Delight when I was a kid. My mom would only buy real 100% juice. She refused to buy anything from the non-refridgerated juice aisle (plastic-bottled apple juice, grape juice, cranberry juice, fruit punch, etc.). She would only buy orange juice (with pulp) or the Dole juices (ex: orange-strawberry-banana). Other than juice, the only other thing we would have to drink is milk.

And I'll admit that I'm one of those people that will water down juice (if it's the plastic-bottled juices). Sometimes I'll get the diet juices (like diet V8 splash) because they're not as sweet. But I don't like the artificial sweetener aftertaste.

I think I've only had Kool-aid a handful of times, like at a friend's birthday party or something like that.

My family didn't have Sunny Delight when I was a kid*, but I discovered it in college. I was crushed when I found out it had pretty much no relationship to real juice. I was just slurping highly caloric sugar water.


*We always had the kind of orange juice you make from the frozen concentrate. Anyone?
