Blue
WhoDatLadyBear@reddit
Anything but black cherry which my mom loved.
-Odi-Et-Amo-@reddit
Grape. Still love anything grape flavored.
funatical@reddit
Yup. Grape is best.
MungoJennie@reddit
Always grape.
MajorMiners469@reddit
In Canada we have a cocktail company named Black Fly. They have a purple freezie that's 5%, and it's packaged in a mylar pouch so you have a slushie. I like them too much.
MungoJennie@reddit
Oh, that sounds amazing. I’m not really a drinker because I dislike the taste of alcohol, but I will indulge in an alcopop every now and then.
atomicbunny@reddit
for the past year or so i've been buying Crush sugar free flavor packets to put in my water bottle. none of the sugar and tastes basically spot on to Grape Kool-Aid.
Nature_Hag@reddit
And then when I hit the teen years, it was grape kool aid and vodka in my tall Simpsons cup. You had to constantly stir it or the liquids would separate.
yeahokayuhhuhsure@reddit
Purplesaurus Rex!
IP0@reddit
1 gallon water
In a large pitcher, combine the entire package of Kool-Aid Sweetened Lemonade Drink Mix with the entire package of Kool-Aid Unsweetened Grape Drink Mix.
Mysterious-Lab-5918@reddit
Anyone remember those plastic pitchers with the mixing handle that was moved up and down?
Tiny-Reading5982@reddit
I use one still ... Tupperware
Mysterious-Lab-5918@reddit
Nice, for what?
Tiny-Reading5982@reddit
Kool-aid, sweet tea
Knight_thrasher@reddit
We had a yellow Tupperware jug for kool-aid. Pour in ingredients, make sure lids are on tight, and shake.
Tiny-Reading5982@reddit
No sugar? I make this but with sugar
Comedian70@reddit
This would be a recipe using the pre sweetened mix, not the packets.
Tiny-Reading5982@reddit
Oh I see. I wonder if they edited their comment because I swear it didn't say "sweetened" lemonade lol
Mail_Order_Lutefisk@reddit
Way too diluted. No more than 3/4th of a gallon or else you might as well drink freaking water.
Rdubya291@reddit
Nah
Primary-Strawberry-5@reddit
If you want an alcoholic bucket punch version it’s as follows: 1 pint of vodka, a 5th of blue curaçao, a jug of Ocean Spray Cran-Raspberry (I believe it’s a 59oz container). You don’t taste the alcohol. We called it Purple-Saurus Wrecked
Primary-Strawberry-5@reddit
This is the way.
LauraPtown@reddit
This is the correct answer
VioletVenable@reddit
Always and forever!
Growing up, my next-door neighbor was a boy in my grade who was obsessed with dinosaurs. So, obviously, he always had a Tupperware pitcher full of Purplesaurus Rex in the fridge. My mom didn’t approve of artificial flavors, so I was over there a lot!
Zorgsmom@reddit
This is it. You can recreate by mixing one envelope of grape & one of lemonade. I still make this on occasion when I'm feeling nostalgic.
Aggravating-Tax-2121@reddit
Eating purple and yellow Skittles together kinda scratches that itch
thelaineybelle@reddit
Purplesaurus Rex 💜💛
upvotesforkitties@reddit
Purplesaurus Rex forever!
lola1stella2@reddit
This is the answer!
shit_kitten@reddit
Definitely green. Which i guess was supposed to be lime...
Sand_Aggravating@reddit
Red
Userdataunavailable@reddit
Sharkleberry Fin!
amyjrockstar@reddit
Mine, too! I forgot all about this until I saw this post!
StatementMediocre710@reddit
That blue raspberry lemonade was the truth
tultommy@reddit
Sunshine Punch. It was like sunny d without that weird thickness that coated your throat. Easily the best flavor and then it was just gone...
SirClarkus@reddit
Ecto-cooler!
Gloomheart@reddit
I JUST BOUGHT some Sharkleberry fin over the weekend!! Haven't made it yet... I'm terrified I'm gonna hate it lmfao
Sanguine-Penguin711@reddit
I had some Kool Aid a couple of years ago. Still delicious, but after pouring all of that sugar into the pitcher, it was a little harder to enjoy.
SmokedPapfreaka@reddit
I tried making it with Splenda. Just don’t. 💀
Sanguine-Penguin711@reddit
Oof! 😝
eulynn34@reddit
Holy hell, I forgot about this flavor
keencleangleam@reddit
Rockadile red, lemonade 2nd
_Mr_Nice_Guy@reddit
Scrolled way too far to find Rockadile Red
TinyDogGuy@reddit
Ecto Cooler was so damn good. Same with Sharkleberry and Purplesaurus
BrownNote_Forcepower@reddit
I was about to reply Ecto-Cooler too, but from what I can tell it was a Hi-C drink, not a Kool-Aid one. I def remember it as a Kool-Aid flavor. Weird.
TerribleDetective325@reddit
My dad told me my favorite was whatever momma decided to make 😁
DeadheadCaniac@reddit
Red. I have no idea what the actual flavor was lol
notthatryan@reddit
"Red" IS a flavor and I refuse to acknowledge otherwise.
Obvious-Beginning943@reddit
Black cherry, perhaps? That’s my #1
Fappy_as_a_Clam@reddit
Black cherry was a pretty dark red, iirc.
And it really was the best
MaintenanceFormer227@reddit
Yeah, that deep dark red had a way of looking way better than it had any right to, especially compared to the newer versions.
MightyCaseyStruckOut@reddit
I have found my people.
QuesoChef@reddit
Black cherry was also my preference.
Mail_Order_Lutefisk@reddit
Black cherry, grape, lime. In that order.
brainvheart143@reddit
Purple IS a fruit
HolidayCards@reddit
Original red is brewed hibiscus, same thing that migrated from Africa to the Caribbean and Mexico, you can order it as jamaica /agua fresca.
ZaphodBeeblebrahx@reddit
I consider Red to be the standard. I’m not even sure what they call it on the package.
estephens13@reddit
Agreed, Kool-Aid man is red for a reason.
_hi_plains_drifter_@reddit
I dyed my hair using Rockadile Red in 7th grade. For some reason that was a thing in my area 😂🤷♀️
EatsCrackers@reddit
Mine, too! Manic Panic came out when I was in high school, but before that we all used koolaid.
LurkingInTheGrass@reddit
Agreed, no flavours they were all colors (and despised 'orange')
3s1k@reddit
Purple is pretty good, but red always hit the spot.
OmegaRainicorn@reddit
I’m glad this picture is Sharkelberry, because it was the best flavor hands down!!
I can’t find this artificial flavor profile anywhere in my life! Why did it have to go away. Why did we pick and use all the Sharklberries!
ptatersptate@reddit
It’s amazing how even a name can bring so much nostalgia. I haven’t heard about Sharkleberry Fin in so long!
Dickrubin14094@reddit
Blue. On a hot summer day it reminds me of being a kid
VonBrewskie@reddit
Mountain Berry Punch
glassy_milk@reddit
Mountain Berry Punch and it's not even close. I've been missing it for decades
mzshowers@reddit
Same here!! It’s terrible to know how good it was!
mzshowers@reddit
* Mountain Berry Punch
* Sharkleberry Fin
* Sunshine Punch
Mysterious-Lab-5918@reddit
Wasn't there an uncolored "mystery" flavor?
tbcraxon34@reddit
Yes, and Wyler's did the same.
Mysterious-Lab-5918@reddit
Thought so...
L_wanderlust@reddit
Airheads had that. Koolaid probably did too
nashcoffeeguy@reddit
Red
dirtybacon77@reddit
I forgot about that! I loved it
Bigwill1982@reddit
Man i miss the pitcher...always wanted the glass one from commercials
aerovirus22@reddit
Black cherry.
Tacotek@reddit
Great, now I have to go buy some fuckin Kool Aid.
KyleVanderpump@reddit
Mountain Berry Punch
tehSchultz@reddit
I still have that pitcher! won't use it
internetonsetadd@reddit
I wasn't allowed to have Kool-Aid. Watered down Juicy Juice in cans.
SouthEastPAjames@reddit
Juicy juice tasted better out of the can…..
internetonsetadd@reddit
Not when it was kept in an open can in the fridge.
SouthEastPAjames@reddit
We call that fridgedaire seasoned….
drunkadvice@reddit
Tropical punch, but the unsweetened kind, no sugar added. If I added sugar, my roommates would drink it. I learned to like it without the sugar.
skeptoid79@reddit
Cherry
Black Cherry
Grape
Same goes for sno cones.
JMDeutsch@reddit
I just laughed out loud at hearing Sharkleberry Fin for the first time in like 40 years.
I can literally taste this meme😂
Sensitive-Review-712@reddit
Tropical Punch or Strawberry Falls Punch.
AmandaAnne307@reddit
I still have one of these pitchers! And Red.
PezCandyAndy@reddit
When I was a kid I would say 'Burple' for the giggles. In truth, mine has always been black cherry
PureOrange7049@reddit
We were only allowed kool aid when we went to my grandmothers house. If I was picking we’d have red, if my brother was picking we’d have purple. My mother was diabetic so we always had a pitcher of Crystal Light in the fridge and unlimited amounts of Diet Pepsi at home.
ViciousSnatch@reddit
My mom would make Koolaid with half the sugar called for. She didn’t tell us that until we were grown. That woman let me walk around in my formative years thinking everyone else had bunk ass Koolaid when really it was our family the whole time. My brother drank Koolaid til the day he died (twas not the Koolaid that took him lol) and he refused to make it with the full amount of sugar because it was what he was used to.
thedoc617@reddit
Wow that color changing plastic cup unlocked a very forgotten memory. Thank you for the nostalgia
SmokedPapfreaka@reddit
Berry Blue!!!
jmac11281@reddit
It was a tasty blue raspberry lemonade. This is my pick too.
RUk1dd1nGMe@reddit
New Berry Blue, it's coming for you!
Danny-Wah@reddit
Cherry. In all things.
Green-Factor-2526@reddit
Mine too. I loved to freeze them and make popsicles
PupLondon@reddit
Black Cherry! About two years ago I started craving it, so I always have some on hand..it's still very refreshing!
PvtDeth@reddit
Purple. Purple. 100% Purple. Not grape lemonade or some other nonsense, just Purple.
Purple Kool-Aid is one of mankind's greatest creations. Purple Kool-Aid compensates for at least three of humanity's 17 worst offenses.
God looks down upon his creation and smiles at Purple Kool-Aid knowing that his infinite creativity has taken root and blossomed in our hearts.
I like Purple Kool-Aid.
Superb_Valuable_5789@reddit
Great Bluedini 💙💚
YayAdamYay@reddit
I loved every flavor! I was just happy to be getting anything that wasn’t Crystal Light.
Meatloaf_Mondai@reddit
Rainbow punch. So much so that we would grab the larger packs at the drug store and eat it like Fun Dip powder.
Fappy_as_a_Clam@reddit
Black cherry was the goat
ChaucersDuchess@reddit
This one was!!
801NYC@reddit
I think I got that pitcher and cup set by cutting out coupons on the back of cereal boxes. I definitely remember being the one to get it/ mail in for it.
LastChime@reddit
Blue.
That-Jeweler-Girl@reddit
Ah yes, I have fond memories of loving the one that looked like anti-freeze.
flittingly1@reddit
That's the one!
59apache01@reddit
Standard fruit punch with a shot of lemon juice was always my go-to.
orangepaperlantern@reddit
Tropical punch!!
KennyL0gin@reddit
Agreed. Tropical Punch is superior to grape. As much as I do love that dinosaur.
Glittering-Station78@reddit
This was definitely my favorite as well. Followed by grape.
Sutcliffe@reddit
Mine too. When I graduated college I think I had a pitcher of this revisited glorious creation in my fridge for a few years.
randysavagevoice@reddit
This entire comment section is a failure. How has no one mentioned Ecto Cooler?
Sad_Hobbit1226@reddit
Ecto cooler was Hi-C.
SnooPeanuts4336@reddit
I just realized my kids do not know about koolaid
ShelleyMonique@reddit
Red or purple.
WafflesFriendsWork99@reddit
Tropical punch, pink lemonade, or cherry
eternallysantanasass@reddit
Fruit Punch
weedtrek@reddit
Great Blue-dini. But Sharkleberry was close second, followed by Mountain berry punch and Fruit Punch.
thefartyparty@reddit
I remember great bluedini existing but I forget what it tasted like. Was it anything like berry blue?
TomPalmer1979@reddit
It was a sweet kinda berry grape flavor.
weedtrek@reddit
It tastes like blue and sugar.
Weird_Squirrel_8382@reddit
Mine was The Ugly Unofficial Fruit Punch. I never liked the mixed flavors they sold. I always did a lemonade and something else like grape or cherry.
uberallez@reddit
I don't know what is worse: That we drank these artificial dyes and flavors Or That we drank them from PFAS laden cups and pitchers.
the__ghola__hayt@reddit
The one that had a hint of almond flavor. It's to die for.
knowsnothing316@reddit
Lime.
CosmicSmoker@reddit
The blue one that looked like washer fluid. Berry blue? Also we had that pitcher and cups, saved up points, mailed them in and got them 6 months later.
Luminaire_Ultima@reddit
Tropical Punch, in the big metal can from Costco. The directions said four scoops of mix to eight cups of water… I knew better and put six .
ArmadilloMuch5006@reddit
Gimme that purple stuff!
The-D-O-Z@reddit
Currently it's Black Cherry. Overall it's Fruit Punch. Growing up, it was Grape.
koakoba@reddit
None, my mom was a "fad dieter" and would make it with half the sugar and more water than you are supposed to use so it was just sad hints of flavor in weird smelling well water.
Echodad@reddit
Berry Blue
PlatypusDependent271@reddit
The brown one. It was made by mistake just mixing different flavors. I forgot which 2 it was so long ago. Me and my sisters called it space tea because it looked like tea and it was out of this world.
Legitimate_Bird_5712@reddit
Riding that Sharkleberry Wave was some of the best times of my life.....
Overall-Scientist846@reddit
My babysitter worked at a grocery store on the side. She always had the best flavors. We lived like kings and queens, particularly the legendary summer of 96.
nefarious_angel_666@reddit
Green!
eggs_erroneous@reddit
purple
secretturtledove@reddit
Black Cherry por vida
Juztaan@reddit
Purplesaurus Rex then Sharkleberry Fin
flittingly1@reddit
Omigosh 'sharkleberry fin' just brought up a while bunch of feelings!! 😍 Didn't think I could remember any of these titles
Starscream147@reddit
THIS ONE!!
MsBlondeViking@reddit
Grape, strawberry, and tropical punch.
C0BRA_V1P3R@reddit
I don’t know about my favorite flavor but I know loved the Kool-Aid popsicles back in the day.
lakatos_intolerant@reddit
Grape, lime and orange.
tre1326@reddit
I loved orange enough to make my first aol screen name orangekoolaidluvr like a weird 12 year old
stefanica@reddit
I liked orange and grape mixed together. Bonus, it looked disgusting, so my sibs were less likely to drink it all before I got any.
drunklibrarian@reddit
Anyone remember the red Fourth of July flavor that had like pop rocks or something in it so it “popped” like fireworks? We spilled it all over the counter making it and it stained my mom’s yellow counters. While crackling the whole time so we were afraid of cleaning it and getting injured. We were not smart.
accuratesometimes@reddit
Pink swimingo!
drunklibrarian@reddit
Hahaha we had to stop buying it after my brother span himself around in a chair so much he puked Pink Swimingo, hot dogs, and Kraft Mac and cheese all over the living room. He claimed the koolaide poisoned him. Sure.
Finallyfreetobe2020@reddit
Came to the comments looking for this one!! Growing up in SoCal, this was a summertime staple. Even better, then mom used her Tupperware icepop mold to make us pink swimming popcicles for after the pool. Oh the memories:)
edasto42@reddit
Purple. Add sugar until it tastes good.
nohombrenombre@reddit
Oh my gosh!! The memories!
irate_alien@reddit
Blue-dini, Ohhhhhhh-YEAH!!!!!!!
shallowtallo@reddit
Strawberry kiwi
PhillNewcomer@reddit
Growing up is was purplesaurus rex
As a teen and young adult is was sharkelberry fin.
As an older adult is was peach mango.
FormidableMistress@reddit
I liked the electric blue lemonade one, black cherry, and lime. In that order.
Sharkleberry Fin smelled like cat piss to me. 🤷🏼♀️
haku85@reddit
We had cherry a lot since my dad liked that one. I kept picking the Incrediberry. I think it was the color changing one.
L_wanderlust@reddit
Grape and orange were favs. Also red, not sure what flavor it was maybe cherry
babooshkaa@reddit
Loved that cup til the wheels fell off
Jaded_Expression_226@reddit
Black cherry
mrshelmstreet@reddit
Sharkleberry all day
BeefModeTaco@reddit
Tropical Punch, Grape, or Black Cherry.
Blue Raspberry Lemonade is pretty good if you're in the mood for it, but sometimes I don't like whatever is in it that makes it not clear. I can't think of the right word for it, but whatever opacifier is in there sometimes lingers, like it coats your mouth.
Redbeardofdeff@reddit
The very rare piña pineapple Jesus fucking Christ. It was so hard to find.
Hot-Clock6418@reddit
cherry 🍒 and added lime 🍋🟩 juice to it
MoonlitBlossoms@reddit
Blue Raspberry Lemonade and Tropical Punch.
singsinging@reddit
Grape and lemonade mixed. Really good frozen into pops too.
Pretty_Pictures_@reddit
Grape or Lime!

One pack of grape and one of cherry mixed together.

Green, then red
GuiltyOutcome140@reddit
Oh man, for a second I thought this was an ad, and I got so excited.
CTMechE@reddit
I still have this pitcher. Not the cups though.
The irony is that my mother never bought brand name Kool-aid again after getting this, and usually just made crystal light in it.
Futant55@reddit
Black cherry
Deep-Interest9947@reddit
💯 the best flavor
Cael_NaMaor@reddit
Lemonade or Pink Lemonade
NoSample5@reddit
Black cherry or pink lemonade. Now…sharkelberry but we can’t find it around here. I end up buying a box from walmart.
PIG20@reddit
Most of the time it was the lemonade flavor. However, I remember loving Rainbow Punch once that was released.
chaosperfect@reddit
Great Blu-Dini and green.
Same-Manufacturer773@reddit
Great Bluedini!
xkonerox@reddit
RED
dbk1ng@reddit

Wasn’t there a mystery flavor? I’m remembering the thrill of the mystery (not really the flavor,lol).

Mountainberry Punch
animalcrackermafia@reddit
Purple-saurus rex mixed with black cherry was my go to flavor (combo) as a kid.
Lo808@reddit
Purple
