Too much sugar consumption.

That would be about $0.55 now.

I just looked up my local grocery store and they have individual pouches listed for $0.59 each. I'm honestly surprised it's still that close!

I get them 3 for a dollar here in Cali at certain stores.

Sugar isnt free

Neither is water. Or the pitcher you have to put it in.

Let's also factor in the cost of the calories you need to burn when you're mixing it.

I wonder what artificial coloring they used for that particular shade of green back then?

literal pulverized dollars - it's a money drink, man!

Probably lime. I can't think of what else it could be.

Go to the grocery store and look for something that looks like a green lemon. That's what a lime is.

Sure ; lime was my first thought. But that’s maybe just the photo but it looks awfully opaque… like ?milky? Ew …

Green

Ah yes. Harvested from the finest green they could find. Raised and ripened under the tropical sun and freshly dehydrated and ground to preserve it.

Fungus. Kool aid puts the fun in fungus.

No.

Every Debby Gibson fan knows that Electric Blue….

Was more into Grateful Deads when participating in the electric kool-aid acid tests
