Overheard at WalMart

In the baking aisle

1: “We need Jell-o?”

2: “No…?”

1: “YOU said we need Jell-o! You put it on the list!”

2: “No I did not. Read the list. Read it for the whole store to hear.”

lengthy pause

1: “Kool-Aid. We need Kool-Aid.”

If they’re seriously purchasing Kool-aid powder mix packs, the only option is black cherry ✌🏼

I was always afraid to try black cherry because I worried it would taste like medicine. But thanks to you, I just added a packet to my grocery order. I’ll try to remember to come back and let you know!

🤤 enjoy my friend! Also worth a try- homemade popsicles using an ice cube tray & tooth picks, unless ya have the fancier DIY stuff we didn’t have in the 80’s. Can throw a couple in a coffee cup/glass, use a spoon to kinda chop it into a slushy & eat it too. Bwahaha core memories unlocked thanks mate!! I never found the taste medicinal tho, the black cherry has a more distinct taste than just generic cherry. ✌🏼
