Chef Jim Posted November 16, 2018 Posted November 16, 2018 For those of you that grew up in the 60's and 70's will remember these fruit drinks. They were a rival of Kool Aid. So each flavor had a name and the one I always remembered was Goofy Grape but couldn't remember any of the others. So I looked them up this morning and found wonderful names such as Choo Choo Cherry! Rootin' Tootin' Raspberry! How fun! Well as I dug deeper I found names I don't recall but are quite interesting. Names such as: Injun Orange. Character was an orange with with war paint and a feather sticking out of the top of the orange Chinese Cherry (was changed to Choo-Choo Cherry) was a cherry with slanted eyes and buck teeth. Soooooo time to get really politically incorrect and come up with some new flavors. I'll start Honkey Honeydew.
Gary M Posted November 16, 2018 Posted November 16, 2018 Brown Brother - it's chocolate flavored, for those who can't afford milk

I drank out of them, my kids, nieces and nephews... And now my brother's grandchildren. http://modernkiddo.com/vintage-monday-goofy-grape-friends/ My contribution: Neo-Nazi Nectarine
