Kool-Aid
I think Kool-Aid is an amazing invention. Back in the 70s, during my formative early-childhood years, my mom used to mix up a big tupperware pitcher of Kool-Aid and stash it in the refrigerator for emergency childhood thirst crises. There was always some beverage of totally unnatural color located near the left side, for easy access when someone came in from playing in the sandbox and chasing snakes in the backyard.
I once blew purple Kool-Aid out of my nose at my babysitter's house when I was about four. I have no recollection of what was so funny that it made me launch my Kool-Aid out of every orifice on my face. I do remember, however, that it was the first time I experienced that liquid can come out of my nose! Eureka! Incidentally, the Kool-Aid stained my upper lip, and I looked like a prize fighter for the rest of the day until my mom came to pick me up. A very small prize fighter.

funny how popping a baby out of your coochie can change your perspective. in the past i would have thought, ah, Kool-Aid, stuff of happy childhood memories, unfullfilled hair-dyeing promises, and yummy college drinks.
now, i think Kool-Aid? Pure sugar and medical-grade probably cancerous dye??? oh yeah, i'll be mixing up quarts of that stuff for my kids asap.
I still make Kool-Aid once in a while. Though nowadays I use splenda instead of sugar.
It's now just few pennies more a glass then before, though compounded over a few years the immediate return is quite safe.
