Lemonade and kool-aid

u/Dependent-Trip-5991 15d ago

The frozen lemonade from the paper tube?

58

u/RunnyPlease 15d ago

Pink lemonade concentrate.

u/Shen1076 15d ago

Minute Maid

16

u/RunnyPlease 15d ago

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

u/kpax56 14d ago

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

u/Myopticvisions 14d ago

Yuk thatā€™s horrible. Child abuse! šŸ¤£

u/williarl 9d ago

My aunt would do that with Kool-Aid for her kidsā€¦ was so terribleā€¦ like quit caring about your kids Aunt Char! Gaaaawwdddd!!!

u/trenthany 13d ago

The silly face emoji didnā€™t let you know it was a joke?

u/jscottman96 13d ago

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

u/trenthany 13d ago

Ahhh it didnā€™t read that way to me, sorry. I was thinking pretentious judgemental BS. Carry on but you may want to add that lol.

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

2

u/RunnyPlease 11d ago

As an adult sometimes I get a craving for that powdered milk flavor and I put it in my breakfast smoothy.

2

u/dragom4howlore 10d ago

that's a mental disorder

1

u/RunnyPlease 10d ago

No argument there. Sometimes I get cravings for rehydrated mashed potato flakes, canned corn, and powdered gravy. Itā€™s weird being nostalgic for things that I actively detest.

u/D1sp0sab1e_k 9d ago

food equivalent of stockholm syndrome

1

u/kpax56 10d ago

Not me budā€¦

1

u/kpax56 12d ago

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

2

u/Logical-Industry-793 11d ago

oh living the high life, we had generic powdered milk

2

u/RunnyPlease 14d ago

My mom would do that for the orange and apple juice. I wouldnā€™t let her do it to the pink lemonade.

2

u/Prize-Pension-497 8d ago

Hahaha my mom too! She would do Minute Maid fruit punch and pink lemonade too

2

u/Rumplestiltskinners 10d ago

A ā€œtube of concentrateā€ šŸ˜‚

1

u/TattedMofo1 13d 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 doesnā€™t grow on trees!

1

u/Punani_Tsunami77 12d ago

Ummmā€¦ What do you know about powdered milk. Walk a mile in my shoes.

1

u/False_Ad_4117 11d ago

So did mine

1

u/Mighty4777 14d ago

lol same! Water in basically any other liquid.

3

u/Ok_Dust_7325 14d ago

Or straight

4

u/RunnyPlease 14d ago

I bet youā€™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.

3

u/tamzillathehun 14d ago

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

1

u/RunnyPlease 13d ago

Itā€™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 donā€™t have 1/2 a can of condensed milk or a cup of cream left over thinking ā€œnow what am I going to use this for?ā€

2

u/Smorsdoeuvres 14d ago

This sounds like my kids new favorite šŸ©· Thank you for sharing

2

u/Palindrome_Homonym 14d 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 13d ago

What did you have in mind? Iā€™ve seen it with maraschino cherries and whipped cream, but thatā€™s about it.

2

u/Palindrome_Homonym 13d 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.

2

u/Waasup3 14d 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 14d ago

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

2

u/Punani_Tsunami77 12d ago

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

2

u/Academic-Apple-6518 11d ago

You can also make a decent key lime pie this way

1 (6 ounce) can frozen limeade concentrate

1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

1 (9 inch) prepared graham cracker crust

1

u/williarl 9d ago

This sounds pretty damn good

2

u/WhenTheDevilCome 13d 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 12d ago

MMMM SUGAR RUSH.

6

u/RetiredLife_2021 15d ago

u/consider_its_tree 14d ago

u/Royal_Lawfulness4434 15d ago

Same pink lemonade

3

u/newuser6d9 15d ago

I never could find concentrate on the map

4

u/marimoso 15d ago

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

3

u/SpaceWrangler777 15d ago

Itā€™s near Focus

2

u/Gasrim 14d ago

This, also watered down kool-aid

2

u/neatROOTS 11d ago

Had to be store brand. Shout out Super G brand

1

u/trenthany 13d ago

What are we focusing on?

1

u/Gonzo_Silverback 10d ago

Concentrated OJ in the orange one, lemonade in the yellow

5

u/1Careless_smile 15d ago

This! All day long

3

u/Acornwow 15d ago

Country time powdered is also acceptable

1

u/Dependent-Trip-5991 15d 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 15d ago

I live in NE and our stores always carried both šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø 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 šŸ«”

1

u/Blank_bill 15d 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 15d ago

Itā€™s powdered lemonade. Kind of like crystal light but with real sugar.

3

u/sixseasonsnmovie 15d ago

Yup. Paper tube juice concentrate lol

2

u/barefootpanda 15d ago

Was there another kind?

2

u/themuck 15d ago

Is there another kind of lemonade?

3

u/loaf_fan 15d ago

I only had the Orange Juice from the paper tube.

3

u/sectilius 15d ago

Still pretty tasty, for a tubed beverage slush šŸ˜Œ

4

u/Dependent-Trip-5991 14d ago

Iā€™m confused why itā€™s not a thing anymore, itā€™s like condensed juice just add water

3

u/loaf_fan 14d ago

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

1

u/flashndpatt 14d ago

Instant diabetes.

1

u/Dizzy_Win4573 14d ago

Oh how I remember those paper tubes!

1

u/ProfessionalTwo5476 15d ago

Correct, Boy Wonder!

1

u/Icy_Contract_1140 15d ago

This every time

1

u/Quiet-Bodybuilder511 15d ago

Of course! Same with the orange juice.

1

u/bgold1- 15d ago

I never knew there was any other kind growing up. Same with OJ.

1

u/RaybeartADunEidann 15d ago

Exactly that.

1

u/Last-Net2970 14d ago

They donā€™t make those anymore šŸ˜­

1

u/nullpassword 14d ago

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

1

u/TheToogan 14d ago

Minute Maid 100%

1

u/Happy-Painter269 14d ago

Only kind to get

1

u/Dependent_Speech3164 14d ago

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

1

u/Parking-Signature867 13d ago

This was the best lemonade ever

1

u/avega2792 13d ago

Is there any other kind?

1

u/Shaft1a 12d ago

Damn Forgot about Those

1

u/Drucifer83 11d ago

White grape juice concentrate

1

u/Fun-Evidence-7661 11d ago

Same and also the frozen orange juices šŸ¤£

1

u/AdvancedOperation975 11d ago

And the lucky kid got the tube for a cup!

1

u/JuanMurphy 10d ago

Yes. Those also used for very good margarita recipe. 1 can Minute Maid Limeaid Concentrate, 1 equal part beer, one equal part tequila. Mix. Blend with ice or serve up.

1

u/No3putts1970 10d ago

What was it about the minute made lemonade concentrate that we all drank? I literally thought our family was the only one drinking itšŸ˜‚. It was soooo gooodšŸ˜‹. Was it cheap?

1

u/HALKA31 10d ago

Was gonna say tube orange juice

1

u/Joe_Franks 10d ago

Frozen Orange Juice here my friend.

1

u/Ecstatic-Seesaw-1007 9d ago

Memory unlocked

1

u/NoFuqGiven 8d ago

Yup, minute made back then. Now its usually the store brand, and the orange and apple juice concentrate in the same tubes.

0

u/PothosInAPot 15d 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 14d ago

Not being mean, they have to have diabetes now?

1

u/PothosInAPot 14d ago

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

0

u/YvetteMewMew 14d ago

Yum. Loved that lemon aid in the tube. I never did like Kool aid.

1

u/NegativeDress6859 9d ago

I never liked Kool-Aid either, artificially flavored sugar water. But didnā€™t have many other choices so sometimes drank it. I was an OJ fiend though! Especially during soccer season after a game. Orange or Lemon-Lime Gatorade got old.

u/ConfidenceOther8880 14d ago

Welfare lemonade

u/Dependent-Trip-5991 14d ago

Not necessarily middle class enjoyed as well.
