Endless supply of orange drink...


This might just be a Lutheran thing, but hopefully it will give you a laugh.
When I attended a Lutheran church, we would have different "get-together" events. These might include: Pot-lucks, turkey bingos, fundraisers, and breakfasts. Anyway, everytime one of these events took place there was an unmistakable yellow McDonalds cooler somewhere on a table filled with the strangest of all beverages. This beverage was some sort of orange drink from concentrate. It is made in bulk with orange syrup stuff that they mix with water in a huge tub of some sort of cooler.
Let me just say that this is the grossest drink every made. It tasted like orange pop without carbonation that has been left in a car for hours in the middle of July.
This drink was the most deticated of all the members of the church at making a presence at every event held at the church. I swear that our church had a lifetime supply of this stuff.
If you never have experienced this drink you need to. It will not kill you, but you will probably find yourself in front of the mirror brushing your teeth for the next couple hours trying to get rid of the feeling of sugar coating your teeth. If you have witnessed this orange substance than you understand what I am talking about.
Words of advice: When in church, stay away from the yellow McDonalds cooler.

I hear you loud and clear. Since I grew up going to a Lutheran Church, I know the feeling all to well. After my first encounter with the drink, I thought it was just a fluke of nature and that it would be different next time...boy was I wrong. After multiple experiences with the drink I have gone cold turkey. I am quitting the stuff for good and I wish everyone else who is doing the same good luck and God Bless...
