To you this looks like a red drinking pitcher. To me it is my childhood. This 2 quart plastic pitcher is what my mom would put the Kool-Aid in for me and my sister. Whenever we saw it in the refridgerator we knew the contents.. KOOL-AID! Not water, not iced tea, not juice... KOOL-AID! This was a big deal, if memory serves me correctly, because Kool-Aid was not an everyday consumption. It was a real treat.
I would guess that the pitcher is 30 years old. Even at its cleanest there still exists a sweet drink scent. Several years ago I asked my mother if she would let me have the pitcher. I have continued the Kool-Aid tradition with my kids and when they see it in our fridge they too know the contents... KOOL-AID!
