Oh... my... that is SO politically incorrect!
I gather that "Chinese Cherry" was later changed to "Choo Choo Cherry" and "Injun Orange" was changed to "Jolly Olly Orange," because even in the 1960s they know that wasn't cool.
Yeah, I had a Goofy Grape mug.
Man, that ad makes my glad they didn't have a Watermelon drink -KNOW WHAT I MEAN??
I'd hate to tell you this, Mars, but they eventually did have a watermelon flavor. Fortunately, it was named "With-it Watermelon." That's not dated at all.
Incidentally, they also had a Root Beer flavor for a while. Mom complains because they had that because their couldn't afford real root beer. My dad's friends would complain but still drank it.
