I always assumed it was just grape kool-aid.
"What the fuck is juice? We got grape drink. It's purple!"

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: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
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.

Sugar. Water. Purple.
Purplesaurus Rex to be specific
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.
Prune juice. A warrior's drink.
Stored in blue barrels.
Stored in the balls.
You're thinking about pee.
Ah, my mistake.
Aren't we all?
Sugar, water, purple!
It's purple drank
basically grape flavored sugar water
Not basically. That's exactly what it was lol. Water, sugar, artificial colors and flavors.
That's all fruit juice is. All the vitamins are gone there, too.
They may be, but there aren't any traces of fruit in these. These are just dyed sugar water lol
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.
^knows
These things
It was in a pitcher. Definitely grape Kool-Aid or a knockoff of it.
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.
It's a fine Cabernet.
Red 3 + Lead + Angel Dust = purple stuff
It was purple drank, no doubt. Everyone knows that
Context?
Left over Flavor Aid gifted from the neighbors that seem to have disappeared...
Grape juice.
