There's nothing more pleasing to the African American palette than a cold, fruity, and RED beverage. I know, I know. Not all Black people love them some Tahitian Treat, but yes they do. Ok, to say that all Black people like drink without discussing the broader social conditions that make this an accurate statement, would be unfair. Due to the historical relationship between poverty and nutrition,the sad but true reality is generations were brought up on that packet with a picture with a pitcher smiling thoughtfully (probably about to indulge in a cool beverage as well; it's not cannibalism if you drink yourself).
To quote classic Chappelle, "What the f*ck is juice?"
That being said, to the right are some of my favorites:
Tahitian Treat- The ultimate carbonated fruit punch beverage that leaves you so thirsty you'll wish you had a Tahitian Treat. Dyes your entire mouth red.
Quarter Waters/Little Hugs- Ah, if only actual H20 was sold for a quarter instead of this melted Popsicle juice in a plastic grenade (with that impossible to penetrate foil lid that cuts your mouth with every delightful swallow). Note: Must drink at least one of every color to satiate thirst.
Kool-Aid- The one and only. Now I know there are staunch believers in there only being one flavor of Kool Aid, but this simply isn't true. There's not even one flavor of RED. And I prefer the light, refreshing strawberry over fruit punch, anyway.
PEACH HI-C- My personal most absolute favoritest drink in the world. Forget that gross coconut ridden dessert that sits out at cookouts being the nectar of the gods. This was it. RIP.
I'm thirsty.
