The Funny Face Drinks had 2 sour characters when first introduced in 1964. Choo Choo Cherry began as Chinese Cherry, an Jolly Olly Orange was Injun Orange. Pillsbury changed the characters within 2 months after they were met with a predictable backslash theyalwayscomeback.blogspot.com...

clarke & DG: you guys were correct, it wasn't cool aid that put them out, it was Pillsbury. And the other flavor characters besides the ones that I mentioned and DJ mentioned were Rootin tootin raspberry, loud mouth line, and later on there was this with it watermelon character. Their sales pitch was that it was a pre sweetened mix with no sugar, so that made it all right for kids to drink all they wanted.
