Description
I remember grocery store used to sell 4oz packet of rootbeer flavored powder that you can buy and mix it with 2 quart of water and 1 cup of sugar just like koolaid. (it was located where koolaid and drink mix packets are) It tasted good without carbon doxide in it. It was back in mid 70's. They stopped selling it in late 70's. I forgot what is the brand name of it. Does anyone know what it was?

I left a comment on the Root Beer Kool Aid. It was made by Wylers. I checked with the company several years ago, but they no longer make it and haven't for a long time...
I've been looking for rootbeer koolaid.
At our little corner grocery store in the 80s, the brand was Auntie Anne's.
flavoraid still makes it i used to drink this all the time in the 80's and 90's from flavoraid it was a very good flavor i emailed the company to see how to buy it will let u know
The brans I remember and am looking for is Wyler's Rootbeer packets.
The rootbeer drink mix packet was probably a Jel-Sert Co. brand called "Aunt Wick". They discontinued the brand in around 1980. I have three packages here. :-) I've been looking for FlavorAid but can't find it anymore either?
Jel-Sert used to sell directly contact them. Jel-sert owns Wyler's and Flavoraid and used to own Aunt Wick's which is now discontinued.
INSTANT SODA????? WOW!!!! I want some!!! I wanna turn evrything I drink into soda!!!!!
I remember one made by Wyler
There was one possibly regional brand called "Aunt Wick's", which I remember after all these years because the name struck me as odd. But the mix was delicious. Bought it at a tiny Key Market in Kentucky, and had it for a month or two. I don't think I ever went back for seconds, because we seldom shopped there. But I can still taste it, and I wish I had some access to something similar now.
I have been talking about this with a bunch of friends and they all look at me as if I am from outer space! I loved the root beer drink and I think it was Wyler's that we used to get. I seem to remember it coming in a yellow package. Wish I could find it again.
I have some flavor aid ones that I found at a lil country store that was going out of business... I look from time to time on ebay and have been lucky... I just wish they would make it again on a full time basis... My kids love it just as I did when I was their age...
Which one was the yellow packet w/ brown letters?
That was Wylers and it was my favorite! The stuff my Mother used to get came in the premix just add water packs. I WANT THEM TO BRING IT BACK! That stuff was GREAT!
