Most of us
older mature folks from the U.S. remember 'Goofy Grape' and 'Rootin Tootin Raspberry' and a few other Kool-Aid type drinks that wouldn't be allowed on the market today based on their name (eg:
Chinese Cherry).
I kinda wish someone would update and reintroduce those drinks.
Maybe they could start with something like:

I remember those from back in the day. They were originally introduced around 1964 with five flavors (Goofy Ggrape, Freckle-Face Strawberry, Injun Orange, Loud-Mouth Lime, and Chinese Cherry).
Images of package labels as of the end of 1960s...
As you can see, by that time "Chinese Cherry" had become "Choo-Choo Cherry", and "Injun Orange" morphed into "Jolly-Olly Orange".
"Goofy Grape", "Loud-Mouth Lime", and "Rootin' Tootin' Raspberry" apparently didn't offend people back then.

"Choo Choo Cherry"? As I recall, it was originally "Chinese Cherry". If I'm not mistaken, there was also "Loud Mouth Lime". I din't ever recall drinking it (we always ought Kool Aid), but the commercial jingle sticks in my mind.
