It is my opinion that the greatest Kool-Aid flavor ever created was Purplesaurus Rex. Alas, like the dinosaur it's sort of named after, it had a short lifespan and was removed from the shelves, cast into extinction, living on only in the memories of those who loved it and the odd package that turns up on eBay. Instead of bidding on powdered drink mix that's over a decade old, I've tried to recreate it numerous times, and those who know about it, know that it's essentially grape and lemonade. Yet somehow, when you combine the two, they don't quite recreate the flavor. They do it enough to make it enjoyable and bring the memories back, but when you drink it you know there's something not quite right. I think that it was the mingling of the two flavors from the very beginning that allowed them to become that one unified flavor worthy of so much love and respect.
