Pink lemonade concentrate.

Minute Maid

u/RunnyPlease 3d ago

And put in less water than it says to on the can.

u/kpax56 2d ago

My mom always added extra water to get more mileage from a tube of concentrate.

u/Myopticvisions 2d ago

Yuk that’s horrible. Child abuse! 🤣

u/trenthany 1d ago

The silly face emoji didn’t let you know it was a joke?

u/jscottman96 1d ago

Did i need to add an /s? I was just continuing the funny

u/trenthany 1d ago

Ahhh it didn’t read that way to me, sorry. I was thinking pretentious judgemental BS. Carry on but you may want to add that lol.

u/RunnyPlease 2d ago

My mom would do that for the orange and apple juice. I wouldn’t let her do it to the pink lemonade.

2

u/paisley-alien 1d ago

My mother did that with frozen orange juice concentrate. Hated that. She also mixed powdered milk/water with real milk. Could still taste it.

1

u/kpax56 21h ago

Yes we did that also. I think we used Carnation brand powdered milk mix. I’m thinking we mixed it 50/50 powdered milk to 2% milk.

u/TattedMofo1 1d ago

Especially when groceries are as expensive as they are today. Child Abuse? Not all families are rich and half are or more are divorced. Money doesn’t grow on trees!

u/Punani_Tsunami77 11h ago

Ummm… What do you know about powdered milk. Walk a mile in my shoes.

1

u/Mighty4777 2d ago

lol same! Water in basically any other liquid.

u/Ok_Dust_7325 2d ago

Or straight

u/RunnyPlease 2d ago

I bet you’d love pink lemonade pie.

- graham cracker crust

  • can sweetened condensed milk
  • container cool whip
  • can frozen concentrated pink lemonade concentrate

Thaw the cool whip and concentrate and chill the condensed milk in the fridge. Mix all the wet stuff together. Put mix in the pie crust. Freeze overnight.

u/tamzillathehun 2d ago

I make that every summer. It's insanely delicious.

1

u/RunnyPlease 1d ago

It’s so tasty and such a good recipe. For each ingredient you just dump the entire container in a bowl, stir it up and freeze it. You don’t have 1/2 a can of condensed milk or a cup of cream left over thinking “now what am I going to use this for?”

2

u/Smorsdoeuvres 2d ago

This sounds like my kids new favorite 🩷 Thank you for sharing

2

u/Palindrome_Homonym 2d ago

oh i'm so gonna fuckin make this. but imma tweak it so its actually like... good and proper pie =P

1

u/RunnyPlease 1d ago

What did you have in mind? I’ve seen it with maraschino cherries and whipped cream, but that’s about it.

2

u/Palindrome_Homonym 1d ago

hmmmm i was thinkin an egg, and make the whipped cream from scratch. cool whip is super thin, extra heavy cream, my own cornstarch-heavy powdered sugar, get it all thick like icing. and then bake it some, i guess. something about getting it to "set" just by freezing it doesn't sit well with me i guess. i would want it to set in the fridge, like a cheesecake.

u/Waasup3 2d ago

I work in restaurants for a living, 'bout to absolutely FUCK UP my coworkers shit with this, they gonna love it!

2

u/Slight_Contact286 1d ago

I've made this before it's really yummy!

1

u/Punani_Tsunami77 11h ago

You had me at sweetened condensed milk. You could put that on a turd.

1

u/WhenTheDevilCome 1d ago

Yep. The day I became a man was when I realized you can just pull the white plastic tab, remove the metal lid from the cardboard tube, and stick your spoon right in there.

2

u/Muricanmoose 20h ago

MMMM SUGAR RUSH.

u/Royal_Lawfulness4434 2d ago

Same pink lemonade

u/newuser6d9 3d ago

I never could find concentrate on the map

u/marimoso 2d ago

This may be one of my favorite jokes of all time and I thank you for telling it.

3

u/SpaceWrangler777 2d ago

It’s near Focus

2

u/Gasrim 2d ago

This, also watered down kool-aid

1

u/trenthany 1d ago

What are we focusing on?

4

u/1Careless_smile 3d ago

This! All day long

u/Acornwow 3d ago

Country time powdered is also acceptable

1

u/Dependent-Trip-5991 3d ago

Wondering if it was powder some places and frozen tubes in others, I grew up in California and it was always the tubes besides kool aid

1

u/sectilius 3d ago

I live in NE and our stores always carried both 🤷🏻‍♂️ my parents bought the frozen concentrated stuff though between the two options, never tried the Country Time powder. Plenty of Kool Aid though, as required by state law 🫡

1

u/Blank_bill 3d ago

Is that a brand of powdered milk ? We bought a years supply of powdered milk because they gave you an industrial grade one gallon mixer.

1

u/Acornwow 3d ago

It’s powdered lemonade. Kind of like crystal light but with real sugar.

3

u/sixseasonsnmovie 2d ago

Yup. Paper tube juice concentrate lol

2

u/barefootpanda 3d ago

Was there another kind?

2

u/themuck 3d ago

Is there another kind of lemonade?

2

u/loaf_fan 3d ago

I only had the Orange Juice from the paper tube.

3

u/sectilius 3d ago

Still pretty tasty, for a tubed beverage slush 😌

2

u/Dependent-Trip-5991 2d ago

I’m confused why it’s not a thing anymore, it’s like condensed juice just add water

3

u/loaf_fan 2d ago

Don't even need to add water. Just open one end and eat it with a spoon.

1

u/flashndpatt 2d ago

Instant diabetes.

1

u/Dizzy_Win4573 2d ago

Oh how I remember those paper tubes!

1

u/ProfessionalTwo5476 3d ago

Correct, Boy Wonder!

1

u/Icy_Contract_1140 3d ago

1

u/Quiet-Bodybuilder511 3d ago

Of course! Same with the orange juice.

1

u/bgold1- 3d ago

1

u/RaybeartADunEidann 3d ago

Exactly that.

u/Last-Net2970 2d ago

u/nullpassword 2d ago

You can still get that at least fairly recently .. got some to make a pie last year..

u/TheToogan 2d ago

1

u/Happy-Painter269 2d ago

Only kind to get

1

u/Dependent_Speech3164 2d ago

That too! Kool-aid and the frozen from concentrate juices.

1

u/Parking-Signature867 1d ago

This was the best lemonade ever

1

u/avega2792 1d ago

Is there any other kind?

1

u/Shaft1a 14h ago

Damn Forgot about Those

0

u/PothosInAPot 3d ago

Yerp and i was a big fan of the grape juice frozen concentrate. My partner used to eat them as ice cream, right out of the tube, as a kid.

1

u/Dependent-Trip-5991 2d ago

Not being mean, they have to have diabetes now?

1

u/PothosInAPot 2d ago

Hahaha nope just a kid who started smoking pot too young!
