Sharkleberry Fin Kool-Aid Returns

Anyone who listens to the show knows that I am a Kool-Aid aficionado. It's just something I've carried over from my childhood. Plus it tastes great! I don't drink much pop and I don't do energy drinks, but you'll always find a pitcher of Kool-Aid ready for drink at my house. Trpoical Punch, Orange, Watermelon Cherry, and Blastin' Berry Cherry are among my favorites. But one amazing blend from long ago that I miss quite a bit is Sharkleberry Fin. It had a unique flavor that has not been duplicated. And I know I'm not the only one to feel that way. Why?

There are tributes to Sharkleberry Fin online.

Sharkleberry Fin Kool-Aid has its own Facebook page.

And it's featured on a list of Seven Best Retired Kool-Aid Flavors.

Well, as I found out Saturday, Sharkleberry Fin is retired no more:

It was right there on the shelves at Woodman's among the Tropical Punch, Orange, and Strawberry Kiwi flavors. I bought eight packets but plan to head back soon to grab more. So if you get to Woodman's before me please leave a handful for your favorite radio host.

And what does it taste like? Heaven is the correct answer. But as the label implies, it's an oranage-strawberry-banana mix. Delicious!!
