Real Soda Kickapoo Joy Juice

Other than recognizing that it is a fun word to say, I had no idea what Kickapoo was when I got this drink. A quick internet search informed me that it is one of the Native American nations. The bottle also says that this is the original Dogpatch recipe. Another wiki search and I found out that Dogpatch is a now abandoned amusement park aka a dream come true. I love exploring old abandoned buildings/grounds. I find it completely fascinating that something can just be up and left to rot. The things left behind are like a map to the past. Unfortunately due to a run in with the law at a certain tuberculosis hospital my exploring days are all but over. I always dreamed of an abandoned amusement park. There would be so much rad stuff left behind. Not that I would take any of it, but it would be great to just soak it all in.....Sorry I got a bit sidetracked. Dogpatch is based on the Li'l Abner comic strip. In the strip they brewed a powerful alcoholic beverage in Dogpatch Cave. At the amusement park they apparently created a non-alcoholic version. This is that recipe.

I feel like this is what the creators of Mountain Dew were going for, but failed to achieve. If my taste buds aren't deceiving me I believe it's a grapefruit, lemon and lime soda. It tastes sweet and citrusy. It's a soda for everyone to enjoy. At first I thought it was just so-so, but the further I got into the bottle the more I enjoyed it.

Oh and the fairly offensive artwork is apparently from the comic as well.
