Fruit punch is gross

They still make Fruitopia???

crut lives in a '97 time vortex iirc

what is the best are those little sacs you have to poke holes in

abbott i admire your brave truth telling!

I drank the shit out of these things as a kid:

And then graduated to these as a teenager:

Given my K-12 diet, I honestly wonder how I don't have diabetes.

Looks like they're a little "healthier" these days. P. sure they were just sugar and artificial flavors back in the day.

I never had those brand name barrel drinks. My mom just got the generic kind at the grocery store. Even at that young age, I knew I was tasting far too many chemicals.

Vomiting fruit punch is gross and creepy--it makes everything RED.

take store bought fruit punch, add some real pineapple juice, maybe some orange juice, and a good quality ginger ale = we don't need alcohol to get our kicks.

Closest I've got to drinking fruit punch recently has been the apple & mango juice not from concentrate I get regularly.
Wonder if I'd enjoy that Kool aid Tropical these days i know I did as a kid. But artificial might not appeal any more.
Maybe if it was electrified?

Heavenly Father made us specifically to enjoy the fruit punch

TANG, iirc.

My best acid buddy in high school was from a mormon family and we drank SO much Tang

I was really into Hawaiian Punch for a while when I was a kid but I wised up. Since then, I have had many varieties of homemade fruit punch/slurpees and guess what -- without an exception, they were mostly pretty gross. I don't even really like sangria very much on account of it.

Maybe one or two of the homemade ones were ok -- but at their worst they were
1 can orange juice concentrsate
1 can pineapple chunks
2 liter sprite
rainbow sherbet

^^ that? really?

lol that sounds pretty good to me

^seconded. That's some all-time church basement shit.

i dunno, i guess it's a little bit of good housekeeping that i never really experienced as a kid, so it doesn't appeal to me as an adult

I can't believe a. that my mom used to let me drink this all of the time and b. that I thought it was delicious. It has such a chemical, poisonous-feeling aftertaste.

Honestly the only time I can deal with fruit punch (Hawaiian, church basement, whatever) is to dilute with water by at least half. It's all too sweet.

xp I hate commercial fruit punches that are obviously just made from whatever fruit is left over from making other drinks. But re: 'chemical' taste, my favourite fruit punch, basically the only one I'd ever drink, was this:

(lol80s)
Made with pineapple, orange, passion fruit and grapefruit. Tasted synthetic like pear drops used to taste.

You guys are posting pictures of the worst garbage ever produced by chemical industry.

Quatro was made with real fruit juice, but somehow managed to taste completely fake, like some Des Esseintes would come up with.

...and the advert made it look like a product from the Max Headroom series.
