Do they ever have class outside at black schools?

nope....not really...but to be truthful, from most of what I have seen...get a warm day (warm being a relative term) and people will sit or lay right out on the grass at the drop of a hat...

Give it a real warm and beautiful day and students will skip class altogether--at HBCUs and PWIs.

Yes. It was big when I was in college but I saw some college students doing it the other day.

At Morgan, we had an out door class when it got warm...we call it Bridgeology...mostly freshmen get caught up in it unfortunatly....you don't get a grade for it but you went in modest amounts....too much Bridgeology caused people to fail..heheheh

People. Because they like watery and bland Kool Aid.

And maybe because a regular glass of kool-aid has like 32 grams of sugar in it.

who makes regular Kool aid

[srmom]

what in hell is the point of hackey sack??????

This reminds me that I have a major black mail photo of my husband, circa 1977, playing hackey sack, shirtless, in dolphin shorts (really short running shorts), and with a bandana tied around his head. He thought he was totally cool!

I'm a crystal light fan too. It's much better than diet soda.

Kool - Aid, not so much. I used to like it alot as a kid, but just as my taste for cafeteria jello cubes (green), in glass parfait glasses, went by the wayside, so did the sugary taste of Kool - Aid.

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.

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?

[DSTCHAOS]

I loved the frozen concentrate juice. I even like eat the frozen concentrate by itself. Grape and orange.

Sunny D was okay when I was a kid. Looking back, it's gross and I don't know what kind of orange juice we thought it was back then.

I'm pretty sure there's a good adult cocktail that we could make with that stuff. I know you can make pretty good lime daiquiris with the lime concentrate. Maybe I'll devote some time this summer to this experiment.
