Do you like Hawaiian Punch? Because I loved it as a kid. It sort of
helped me forget about all the abuse I suffered at the hands of my
alcoholic uncle.

Yes I do. Now more than ever. We call it "fruit punch." That's another thing that's wrong about the mainland. When I go to a McDonald's or any restaurant and order a fruit punch, they look at me with a dumb expression on their face. What's wrong with you people!? It's red, it's sweet. What's not to like?

It's too sweet, that's what's not to like.

Of course, this comes from someone who always used only 50% of the sugar
called for on the Kool-ade package.

It can be a bit sweet for some folks. That's why we like to water it down a bit - with Sprite.

Oh, that's funny. Sprite is too sweet, too. I'd rather have
club soda (or tonic) with lime.

Thanks for the pic. I will check it out. We're all fruit punch connoisseurs on this rock. Without incredibly sweet drinks, we'd probably die. Evidently, this has not escaped the notice of some mainlanders.
