That's like spinning your tires on a skid mark that was already there
I could have lived my whole life just fine never seeing the combination of words "Gape-flavored Kool Aid". It would have cost you nothing.
That said, it's too late now so I think I'll drop this on friends sometime so I'm not alone in my despair.
If any friends are Amish, kindly offer them a Capri-Shun. It's a 90 proof rumspringea! Party like it's 1699!
You mean grape flavored Kool-Aid.
You do mean grape flavored Kool-Aid, right?
The answer... but first, you must pull my finger...😁
Nah man, the Kool aid guys recognised that there was a gaping hole in the market and stretched their resources to fully cover it.
The child safe cap is a great touch, bet the guy who edited that in thought nobody would notice.
Well, Pepsi was originally sold as a miracle cure for Dyspepsia. (or upset stomach)
Dyspepsia was a massive problem at the time, as food safety laws didn't exist. And neither did refrigeration. So the food available in cities was often expired, and then slathered in toxic chemicals to hide the fact that it was expired.
Coca-Cola was also first marketed as a medicine, but for headaches and hangovers. Cocaine and caffeine might work on a headache or hangover...
The only problem I see here is that it's a Coke bottle.
If you want a drink that tastes like Pepto Bismol the answer is birch beer. It has a very similar wintergreen/methyl salicylate type flavor and is frickin' great.
My personal favorite is Boylan's Creamy Red Birch Beer but it's expensive as fuck.
A less stupidly expensive alternative is Pennsylvania Dutch Birch Beer. Still going to run you $20+ for a 12 pack on Amazon. Fuckin' shipping costs are insane.
I've never had Pepto but I've had birch beer. That is not the taste I thought Pepto would have
Pepsi funds the Russian genocide in Ukraine, so, never would I ever, but I like the concept and would buy PB in a 12 oz to go bottle without question
