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.

            Just a guess, but I have a feeling the originals won't be making a comeback.

My father still has the set of plastic cups.  I drank out of them, my kids, nieces and nephews... And now my brother's grandchildren.
