Let’s drink a Kood-Aid
Mmmmmm red onion flavor
They discontinued it in the 70s and replaced it with red cabbage
Typical.
You know kool-aid is pure…
Wut?
Between 1910 and 1960 there was a weird fascination with the purity of things. Ivory soap (99% pure) is a hold over from that time. It was probably coded eugenics or some racist undercurrent among consumers.
Read Sinclair’s “The Jungle” and you’ll definitely understand the obsession with purity. It was about as regulated as “100% natural” is these days, but at least meant that your “100% pure beef” was less likely to be cut with sawdust or rat meat or something.
I was at a restaurant last night and they had some vintage signs on the walls. One was an ad for ketchup and it said “Guaranteed 100% Pure”… and I don’t even know what that means in terms of ketchup (or in this case Kool-Aid).
It’s that era’s “made with natural ingredients”. It means nothing, just marketing blabber.
The kid in the yellow striped shirt creeps me out.
I’m gonna fucking get you in your sleep buddy
He has that look of, “Hey you’re still alive. Time to fix that”.
Offhand I think “grape” is my least-favorite artificial flavor of all time, but lookie there-- that’s a rather pleasant photo!
Maybe because it sort of balances secondary colors of purple, green, and off-oranges.
Can you imagine how much photoshopping work it took to get that hue? And photoshop was probably only available in black and white at the time.
Photoshop was literally a photography shop back then, with some scissors, paint brushes, paste, and another camera.
How are you this dumb? Do you seriously think Photoshop existed in the 50s?
Was Photoshop only available on the abacus back then, I forget
You know Kool-Aid is pure
Pure what? It’s not pure anything. It’s mostly sugar and water, with some chemical flavorings.
and color.
I know people with no teeth almost exclusively because of kool-aid.
So sad we don’t have ice box shelves anymore…
I need more stuff like this. Lemmier, please post more <3
