Sorry my cat jumped on the keyboard and message was sent prematurely.
... especially how I consumed it. No water or anything, mind you. As
soon as I'd buy a packet (which meant as soon as I had 1 Toman in my
possession), I would pour the whole thing in my mouth and chew it to
extinction. It was heaven :)
And I did it _every_ time I had one Toman (about $0.50 back then). And
this sometimes meand a few times a day! Especially in a month like this
(Farvardin is the first month of Iranian year and has a long period of
festivity in its beginning days). So my mother was worried and scolded
me each time she'd see my entire inner mouth colored red or blue or..
The crime was impossible to hide.
But guess what. It made me somewhat healthier than other kids who didn't
do that. The reason was the added vitamin C, without which there would
be no USA.
We didn't eat much fruits in those early years of my life. For some
reason, by the time fruit would make it near where we lived in Tehran,
it was partially bruised and overripe. Neither of us in the family liked
things like that.
So that vitamin C in Kool-Aid did wonders for me :)
But the affair ended when soon we moved to an extreme north Tehran area
on the foot of the mountains. Gardens of fruit trees of several kinds
were everywhere, together with raspberry fields, mulberry trees
everywhere along narrow irrigation canals, pomegranates, strawberries,
apples, cherries, ...
So I discovered fruits! Some free to pick, and some forbidden to pick
but.. they could never stop the kids. The fruits were available three
seasons of the year. Always fresh of course. Kool-Aid was history. I
actually never bought it again.
