Thanks Birdgirl!

[cannabis campbell]

I got your package in the post today! thanks for the little card that came with it, I love your handwriting and the way you wrapped everything up, I dont know which kool-aid drink to try first grape, cherry, tropical punch, orange, lemon lime :eek: thank you so much for helping out this kool-aid virgin im gonna go and try one now :D

[wayoftheleaf]

yay kool-aid

birdgirl gets rep for that

[jdub61]

uh huh, sure, i think we all really know what's really in those kool-aid packets ;)

[cannabis campbell]

Yeah kool-aid powder

[cannabis campbell]

Mmmmm :D

[mute]

i hate the orange kind so you should toss it out now. :P

[cannabis campbell]

Lol, is it nice with ice?

[Bluntmasterbabe]

Oh wow...that was sooo sweet of her...people on here couldn't be any nicer:)
I think you should go for the Cherry first:thumbsup: Enjoy!...let us know what you think.

[cannabis campbell]

Yeah im gonna have the cherry first, it says on the back..

Directions: empty contents into large plastic or glass pitcher add 1 cup sugar or 1 cup SPLENDA.. so i have to put the powder in a large pitcher then add a cup full of sugar???? because i have no idea what splenda is..

Then it says add cold water and ice to make 2 quarts, stir to dissolve, now i get confused again whats 2 quarts in england we measure things in litres, mililitres, gallons etc never heard of a quart before? maybe im just being a noob can anyone help me out here lol.

[wayoftheleaf]

16 tablespoons to a cup, 2 cups to a pint, 2 pints to a quart, 4 quarts to a gallon.

splenda is just fake-suger that sucks, and puts like 1 and 1/3 of a cup of suger in it.

[Psycho4Bud]

2 quarts = 1.9 liter..........
Liter to Gallon / Quart / Pint / Cup / Ounce (http://www.paulnoll.com/Oregon/Cooking/number-liters.html)

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

[cannabis campbell]

so basically with one of those add the powder, 16 tablespoons of sugar and water and ice until i get just under 2 litres worth yeah?

Yo P4B. I'm gonna presume you deleted my post and I'm just curious why? I'm not angry or anything, I just want to know if it's something that shouldn't be talked about here?

[cannabis campbell]

Plus you should get all the facts before you go accusing people and saying things like that i mean obviously you dont know who birdgirl is you even said it yourself and its pretty arrogant to just come here after only being registered for 11 days to accuse a moderater and a active member of mom. You should never assume, assumption is the mother of all f**k ups!, you dont wanna be a f**k up now do ya!?


HAHAHA the funny part is this dude is DEAD-SERIOUS. lmfao dude comeon now...

Haha yeah thats what made me laugh aswell.

[passitplz]

^^ so CC... you tried it yet?

[Psycho4Bud]

Yo P4B. I'm gonna presume you deleted my post and I'm just curious why? I'm not angry or anything, I just want to know if it's something that shouldn't be talked about here?

Yes I did besides a few other posts in this thread. The issue you brought up I delete every time I see it in a thread.......had to many friends take that course and it just hits a wrong nerve.

Czheckyofacts....keep your bullshit assumptions to yourself!

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

[cannabis campbell]

Yeah its nice its like one of those squash drinks you get in england where you just mix it with water but a LOT nicer because of the sugar probably i filled up my pitcher now, so i have to finish all the cherry lol, but i wanna try the other flavours oh well guess ill just have to wait.

[passitplz]

Anyone else find it ironic that the dude with the username "Czheckyofacts"(check yo facts) made a stupid ass assumption with out checking his facts???

[stinkyattic]

czheckyofacts should check his facts, lol.

birdgirl you have a good sense of humor, sending bits of Americana to England... may I also suggest some Goober Grape (peanut butter with grap jelly mixed in), those Kraft crackers n cheez packs with the little red stick, and some Lunchables? :D

[Psycho4Bud]

Czheckyofacts...welcome to Club Gitmo AGAIN! What's this make now....4 different user names in a week? Friggin' posers!

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

[stinkyattic]

haha we posted exactly the same thing at exactly the same time! hahaha

[passitplz]

czheckyofacts should check his facts, lol.


beat ya to it ^ :)

*edit* okay i didnt beat you. same time. thats fuckin crazy lol what are the chances?

[Bluntmasterbabe]

Try some orange slices in it...it's yummy;)...and I think that any of the favors mixed with the lemonade is bomb:)

[cannabis campbell]

Haha sugar will do for me :D

[stinkyattic]

same time. thats fuckin crazy lol what are the chances?
lol like the time Yeag and I posted 'turtleneck' at the same moment in reference to foreskin... hee hee... I love this friggin place... it's alwasy good for a laugh.

Hey, if birdgirl finds a nice koolaid pitcher with both metric and imperial measurements on it, she should send one to everyone in the grow area too because of all the confusion over nute measurements!

Oh--- and before it even comes up--- watering cannabis plants with kool aid does not make them turn pink and taste like fruit punch. Because that question DOES get asked frequently. lol.

[cannabis campbell]

Seriously!?? LOL, that would be cool though :stoned:

[stinkyattic]

Oh man, kool aid, gatorade, fishtank water, piss, menstrual blood (yup, there's a whole thread on it in 'organic'), purple food coloring, crushed birth control pills, protein shakes, multivitamins, you name it, nOObs want to pour it in their plants.

[cannabis campbell]

Jesus, I would of thought people would want healthy plants i dont see any reason why anyone would want to put crushed birth control pills in their plants, thats messed up lol.

[stinkyattic]

I promise you do NOT want to do that (food coloring) to cannabis. If the roots were even able to uptake the dye as blue dye, and transfer it into the buds, would you REALLY want to be smoking dye? Might be FDA approved for EATING, but I'm all set on smoking it, thx. A friend did a Miracle Gro hydro grow as a joke and noticed that the plants DID take on a slight blue tinge from the dye, but tasted about liek you'd expect them to- chemically. Blech.

Birth control pills- people think that estrogen makes the plants be female. lol.

At least watering with Kool Aid you WOULD be adding sugar, which plants LOVE. So of all the things on the list, IMHO it's the safest. lol.

[jdub61]

Yeah its nice its like one of those squash drinks you get in england where you just mix it with water but a LOT nicer because of the sugar probably i filled up my pitcher now, so i have to finish all the cherry lol, but i wanna try the other flavours oh well guess ill just have to wait.

do you have Tang (orange drink) in the UK?
here, it's common at college parties to have hunch-punch of Everclear/Tang or Everclear/Kool-Aid or whatever.

[cannabis campbell]

Nah never heard of Tang before either until you just said it then :p

[mute]

Tang is awesome but i love this Minute Maid Cherry Limeade stuff. its sick.

[Bluntmasterbabe]

do you have Tang (orange drink) in the UK?
here, it's common at college parties to have hunch-punch of Everclear/Tang or Everclear/Kool-Aid or whatever.

I've had Hunch Punch (which is called PJ Juice where I'm from), but we make it with fruit punch and add gummy bears, grapes, and bubble gum pieces..good stuff;)

[cannabis campbell]

minute maid, pj juice! something dirty is going on here!

[4twentE]

i hate the orange kind so you should toss it out now. :P

Kool-Aid, only about 20 cents a pack, but a very thoughtful gift considering you've been missing out so long. Do they not sell it in England? But I must agree with mute on this one. The orange flavor is pretty nasty. I wonder why that is. Oranges are so good, but nobody ever gets artificial orange flavoring right. It's always nasty; in candy, orange drinks (not juice), whatever. I will make an exception for Sunkist orange soda though. At least you didn't try the orange Kool-Aid first, it might ruin your impression of Kool-Aid in general.

[cannabis campbell]

Nope dont sell it in england, and its always the thought that counts anyway, i wish they sold it here though i love it haha i've already finished 2 litres of cherry and onto the grape now it made me tongue go all pink/red :p haha. Im sure the orange cant be that bad but maybe ill save that one till last lol.

[4twentE]

I always save the best for last, which would've been cherry.

[Bluntmasterbabe]

yea man dont have the worst last. then you'll have bad memories of forcing yourself to drink that last amount.

and tang is disgusting *i bet i spelled that wrong*

I love the orange, it's one of my favs...guess I must be weird:)

[Ghost**]

Tang is great, i kinda grew up on that shit lol

[onequestion]

i fucking love lunchables'

[birdgirl73]

I'm so glad you got your Kool-Aid, Cannabis! Goodness knows I couldn't let the poor young man go the rest of his life without a taste of Americana!

The sad thing is there are so many better things to drink in this country . . ! I should have converted those sugar directions to metric for you. When we were kids, my mom would make us red Kool-Aid and cut up slices of orange and lemon in the pitcher. We liked to pretend we were drinking sangria.

[Jizzle Blizzle420]

Tropical Punch people! Cherry aint got shit on Tropical Punch! CC I would definitley save the Tropical punch for last. Im very high and very concerned about your kool-aid future right now.

[birdgirl73]

Y'all have something very like Tang in the stores, however, Cannabis. I've seen it. Just can't remember its brand name over there. An orange-flavored powdered drink mix.

[cannabis campbell]

Hey thats close enough! lol, im loving the grape lol i havent been able to stop drinking it at least i know this will definately increase my intake of water :D.

[rantingsweed]

yea dude grape is the best one, i usually have about 20 in my house at all times. But, the best amount of sugar i like to use is take the 3/4 cup measuring cup and fill it up a little less than a centimeter from the top.

[cannabis campbell]

Just any normal sized small cup?

[birdgirl73]

I'm so glad you're liking it!!! Definitely pass some on to LIP if you get the chance.

LIP, darling, you weren't being ignored or singled out by not receiving a gift of fruity American drink mix. It's simply that Cannabis and I were talking about it on a thread and he was curious about what it was. He asked me about it via email. I was facing my spinal surgery, and I thought, by golly, the boy needs to try Kool-Aid, and I got it in the mail the day before my surgery in case there was some sort of terrible fatal accident. Had to fulfill the simplest wish of one of my can.com friends so he'd remember me fondly if I'd never returned!!

Its crazy to think about it but hes going to remember you FOREVER! Cuz recieving Kool-aid in the mail from overseas only happens once in a lifetime.

[cannabis campbell]

Yeah dont worry about that I will definately pass some onto LIP if he wants,

Thanks for that Birdgirl, i really appreciate it :) but i knew all along nothing bad was gonna happen to you :).

[4twentE]

... at least i know this will definately increase my intake of water :D.

Drinking water is certainly good for you, but not really when it's loaded with sugar.

and uh, yeah. any normal small cup works.

[birdgirl73]

i knew all along nothing bad was gonna happen to you :).
I'm glad you did. I was really scared. Not because of the surgery itself but because of my heart rhythm and potential complications from that. Fortunately it was uncomplicated. This all affected my thinking ahead of time, though, about getting that Kool-Aid in the mail beforehand. I think this is a mom thing, too. I was bound and determined that I'd have all my "kids" taken care of, by golly, before I went under that anesthesia. In the case of my own son, we'd made peace about a summer-long laundry battle and gotten all his piled-up laundry taken care of. Didn't want to go to my grave having anyone think I'd been a bad or inattentive mother/laundress.

[Reefer Rogue]

What a great gift to give.

[ghosty]

haha birdgirl bought you some kool-aid CC... that's awesome... enjoy it man

[azure]

Birdgirl if you ever find you have to much unique american foodstuffs please dont hesitate to send them these ways!

i gotta say ive always wanted to try this kool aid but a CUP of sugar?!? sick man i like sugar but the thought of that goes through me a bit.. of course it depends on the size of the cup but still.

there should be a thread for foreign foodstuffs they're that good, when i went to america i had a pretty bad binge on : dunkin doughnuts, massive pretzels, pretty much every interesting looking sweet and snapple, yummo.

and im not even fat... score.

[zino11]

fill first half with warm water then sugar and koolaid it dissoves much better then fill up with water and ice then stir

[rebgirl420]

czheckyofacts should check his facts, lol.

birdgirl you have a good sense of humor, sending bits of Americana to England... may I also suggest some Goober Grape (peanut butter with grap jelly mixed in), those Kraft crackers n cheez packs with the little red stick, and some Lunchables? :D

mmmmm god bless America

[rebgirl420]

^ oh and what about deep fried oreos and twinkies! No wonder America is huge haha

[cobracommander1079]

zino11 is very right. Hot water helps disolve the sugar immensely!!! I can't believe you guys don't have kool-aid!! I'm going to have to investigate the possibillity of acquire-ing the sole distributor rights of this fine fruitty powder. thanks 2 birdgirl for inspiring the idea

[tootsie roll]

Just any normal sized small cup?

Sometimes, ya gotta fool around with the sugar and water to get it to your personal liking. And Ice always makes it better.

Now I'm wishin we had some grape kool aid in the house but I did find fruit punch and mystery flavors.

I think it's very sweet that birdgirl sent you some kool aid.

What happens if you turn in to a kool aid fiend? Are we gonna have to supply you on a weekly basis?:D:dance::glugglug::greenthumb:

Wow. It's hard to be mom to so many sometimes isn't it. lol
I think it was very sweet that you sent cc some kool aid.
I haven't been around much but I am glad to see that your surgery went well.
Are you doing ok now? Was it successful?

[MadSativa]

ahhh kool aid is like liquid crack it soo good

[tootsie roll]

It's one cup to 2 quarts of water and mix. Plus, you can always cut down on sugar or water to suit your own personal taste.
OR you can use that Splenda stuff but I have to tell you, Splenda, it leaves this nasty after taste. I don't like it but you may.
It all depends on individual tastebuds.:thumbsup:

[tootsie roll]

^ oh and what about deep fried oreos and twinkies! No wonder America is huge haha

rebgirl, once a year my husband and I take out the fry daddy and do some serious damage.
We will coat and fry just about anything that doesn't move. lol
Oreos, we started those years and years ago. Twinkies, ho-ho's
milkey way bars. lol He even deepfries chunks of meatloaf:wtf:
But, like I said, only once a year, if even that. I think last year all we fried was a bunch of seafood. Shrimp, lobster, crab, scallops.
But dang, it is yummy in the tummy til it hits the bottom of the tummy. lol Then it's time to lay down.:smokin::stoned:

[Dro_Princess]

This is a great example of why I love this board. BG mailing KoolAid to CC. Thats very nice of you BG.


I cant believe there are people missing out on drinking it. Its embedded in my childhood.

Also you may be able to buy KoolAid online. I found it on Amazon.com: kool aid - Groceries: Grocery (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gro/102-8304195-1724948?initialSearch=1&url=search-alias%3Dgrocery&field-keywords=kool+aid+&Go.x=0&Go.y=0&Go=Go)
not sure if they ship to the UK but you might find a site that does. Also its all in bulk on that site.

[rantingsweed]

nono not just any cup it has to be a measuring cup

[attachment=o149802]

[cannabis campbell]

Ooh one of those I dont think i have any of those kind of cups in my house lol.

[tootsie roll]

Ooh one of those I dont think i have any of those kind of cups in my house lol.
