Who remembers Kickapoo Joy Juice??
I was shocked that Kickapoo Joy Juice is still being produced. I remember that it was introduced in 1965 as a direct competitor of Mountain Dew.
I was under the impression Kickapoo Joy Juice died a quick death but it is still popular in some Asian countries. Who knew??

Don't remember ever seeing it marketed around here. I did once find a bottle of Real Wild West Sarsaparilla at an off the beat'n path party store. Stuff tasted exactly like Root Beer to me. I was young and disappointed.

I was in the musical Lil Abner, so I remember it well.

Never heard of it!!!! Was it something that was only produced for a certain area???? Now I have heard of Billy beer. I even bought a six pack of it once, back in the late 70's

Not sure if I ever saw Kickapoo juice but as kid, I liked Squirt which was a more sourish 7up/mountain dew type of soft drink.

Did a quick search on their site to see if it was available here in Michigan. Looks like I'd have to go to a Cracker Barrel restaurant to get some. At least within a hundred miles of me, only the Cracker Barrel gift shops carry it. To be honest, I never knew it existed other than in the Lil' Abner comic strip. Bob

Somewhat surprised the Kickapoo Indian Tribe hasn’t attempted some form of court action.
Have donated to their cause many times at the casino in Shawnee, Okla. ,,,,,,, 🤣

I don't remember who put the thought in my mind, but it's one I'll never forget. For the longest time, as a kid, I thought that's what soy sauce was called.
