It's been over 20 years since that Sunny Delight commercial and I still have no idea what "purple stuff" is.

      It was in a pitcher. Definitely grape Kool-Aid or a knockoff of it.

    Left over Flavor Aid gifted from the neighbors that seem to have disappeared…

    I always assumed it was just grape kool-aid.

    “What the fuck is juice? We got grape drink. It’s purple!”

      More like a step down from even that, purple flavor-aid (without the diphenhydramine, promethazine, chlorpromazine, chloroquine, diazepam, chloral hydrate and cyanide) or some other knock off. But yeah basically that.

    Always assumed it was grape juice, specifically Welch’s which was a popular item in the 80s/90s.

      Oh hell nah. Welch’s is grape juice made from actual concord grapes. Purple drink is made of purple.

    Back then everyone was drinking promethazine like it was water. Children at school, high on the lean, making thanksgiving turkeys with hand prints. No one ever coughed tho.

      Not basically. That’s exactly what it was lol. Water, sugar, artificial colors and flavors.

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
