A creative combination to say the least.

I want to note that these ingredients were not easy to find in Los Angeles.

I ended up finding everything except for the Hawaiian Punch Kool-Aid singles at Walmart.

As sealed 2-liter bottle of Fanta strawberry soda, Folgers Classic Roast instant coffee, Kool-Aid mix, and Jolly Rancher hard candy on a kitchen counter

They had the Hawaiian Punch Kool-Aid mix so I got that since it likely tastes identical.

Now, the first thing Gypsy said she did was crush up Jolly Ranchers.

I decided to go with a combo of watermelon, cherry, and green apple.

Once that was done, I set it aside.

I poured in the Fanta next.

Lastly, you grab those crushed Jolly Ranchers and dump those in!

I did five of ‘em.

It wasn’t as strong as I’d imagined.

The coffee kind of gave it a hint of chocolatey flavor, IMO.

I didn’t hate it!!!

He willingly obliged and immediately made a face (but didn’t spit it out!).

He said it tasted like coffee and juice mixed together.

Thanks, Gypsy, for sharing this fascinating look at prison life with us.
