This Makes Me Feel Old

When Pillsbury introduced Funny Face---it's answer to General Foods' Kool-Aid----in the early-mid 1960s two of the flavors were named Chinese Cherry and Injun Orange.



By circa 1966, they were renamed Choo-Choo Cherry and Jolly Olly Orange respectively.

Honest Injun.

Honest Injun!

Here's a mid-1960s commercial for Funny Face Drink Mix.  This was the Pillsbury alternative to General Foods' Kook-Aid.


After some two years on the market, Injun Orange and Chinese Cherry were renamed Jolly Olly Orange and Choo-Choo Cherry respectively.
