Here, of course, is proof-positive that Laurie would never be so cruel as Jane as she did not deny me my 15 cent package of Purplesaurus pleasure. I did, however, promise to whip it up with Truvia rather than sugar, but I’m pretty sure she’d have let me get it anyway…
I first discovered the glory that is P. Rex back in college. It changed my world (and was cheaper than Coke)! But then a dark fate befell the nation, and the flavor was retired. Madness!
Of course, you can make it yourself by mixing a pack of grape and lemonaide, but then, who on earth has a one gallon pitcher?!? That’s just crazy talk….
Now, though… it’s back for a limited time… I only bought one packet though… have to see if they’re pulling a New Coke sort of thing… maybe it isn’t as good as I remember… (though I don’t see how that is possible). Time will tell…
I have a 2 gallon dispenser used for Kool-Aid only. I use the only really good flavor, Black Cherry.
I’m sorry, but I’ll put my Purplesaurus up against your Black Cherry any day of the week! It’s no egg nog PDQ, but it’s darn good.
Some friends of mine, back in their college days, decided to find the best flavor of Koolaid by mixing various flavors (and, therefore, food colors). The two best were “brown” and “gray.”
Uhm… ewwww…
