Calling All '90s Kids: Kool-Aid Is Bringing Back Some Cool Retro Flavors
If you're a '90s kid like me, you surely have fond memories of playing mixology with your mom in the kitchen every time you magically transformed a packet of your favorite flavor of Kool-Aid into liquid form.
My favorite flavor was red, and I still remember the sound the packets made when I eagerly ripped them open. Mom and I would add them to her retro orange pitcher along with carefully-measured cups of sugar and water. The wonder happened as soon as we started stirring.
Well, kids at heart, do I have the best New Year's resolution for you: Resolve to drink as many glasses of Purplesaurus Rex and Rock-A-Dile Red as you can in 2020. Kool-Aid has officially confirmed to Delish that it will bring some of its beloved but discontinued flavors back to store shelves later this year.
A new line of "Retro Jammers" was first spotted by the one and only @CandyHunting, of course! The renowned flavor chemist posted images of the red and purple wonders in on-the-go packs.

“Oh yeah, retro flavors are real," Kool-Aid told Delish in a statement. "We’ll have more details to share when Retro Kool-Aid crashes into stores this year, and we’ll make sure you’re among the first to know.”
This isn't the first time that Kool-Aid has reincarnated Purplesaurus Rex and Rock-A-Dile Red. They joined three other retro flavors in a short-lived 2014 revival, according to MyRecipes. (And apparently if you don't like to drink Kool-Aid, you can also use it to clean your dishwasher or make some very colorful pickles.)
