4. Choo Choo Cherry used to be Chinese Cherry. Very offensive.
Jolly Jolly Orange was Injun Orange. Both had to change.

And the foam would flow.

About 8 years ago, i had a Goofy Grape T-Shirt. One night i wore it to a goth show in NYC. Everyone was in black and i proudly stuck out. Hehe!

12. Razzle Dazzle Raspberry, Loud Mouth Lime
Was it good or were we kids and the only thing that mattered was how sweet our Mom's made the Kool Aid?

13. I remember that stuff!
My grandmother used to make it for us, then we'd pour it in ice trays and stick toothpicks in.

But I'm too young to remember the 'Chinese Cherry' and 'Injun Orange' flavors. Mostly, it was the grape anyway -- we were little artifical grape flavor addicts, my brother and I.

I only remember Chinese Cherry. I still remember the little tune from the commercial.
