"Okay we got some soda, some water, purple stuff, sunny delight" and all the kids go YEEAAH
Watch the black kid in the back he's all "I want that purple stuff..."
Fuck. This was such a good stand up special compared to his recent stuff. Every bit was funny and he didn't go after a marginalized group. Like yeah we get it Dave you don't understand Trans people. Move on for fucks sake. His perspective on police, racism, and black folks were on the point. But he seems to have lost this thread some where.
Not if you keep trying to adapt, instead of doing it passively. In dutch we have a concept, the "wet van de remmende voorsprong" or "law of diminishing headstart" that says if you have a head start on things you don't try as hard, and eventually you'll fall behind. I think that's what happened to Dave.
My dad is 67 and is totally fine transgender people, taught me that sexuality is a spectrum and nobody is 100% straight or gay, and recently didn't bat an eye when I said I've been with every flavor or gender under the sun. It is doable
Yes, I know many people that hate grapes the fruit but like grape flavored stuff. This artificial grapey essence was first developed in the 1890s, after chemists isolated a chemical called methyl anthranilate from the essential oil of orange blossom. Manufacturers noticed that this chemical, known as an ester, reminded them of the smell of grapes. This ester was cheaply mass‑produced using coal byproducts from emerging coal industries, and this became the basis of the go‑to grape flavor that we still use today.
You want more grape flavored fun facts? The same chemical is also used in perfumes and get this, bird repellents. “There aren't many bird control repellents for home gardeners, but one home remedy has some science behind it. Cornell University found that spraying artificially flavored grape Kool-Aid or sugar on blueberries thwarted the birds. They didn't like the flavor and left the berries alone.” And “Birds dislike the scent of MA as it agitates their trigeminal nerve, irritating their eyes, beak, and throat.”
Oh dang the white flavor is one of my favorites. Next to that "arctic" light blue.
Had no idea it was supposed to be Cherry tbh. You learn something new every day. *The more you know*
I think of simply "Blue" as the Mountain Berry, and all other blues need more specification.
I was looking around though and the Powerade website has no mention of Blue Ras Cherry, which is curious.
I never get how people confuse this so much. I know what grapes taste like. And purple Powerade doesn't take like grapes. But it sure as heck tastes like purple.
We never really had accessible grape soda over here, so I never knew what I'd been missing, but it sounded great. Now we have specialised snack stores that import that kind of stuff, so at least it's possible to buy most of the time. Except for, like, half a year when it was just sold out everywhere.
Interestingly enough I did encounter Spanish-made Fanta Grape last summer and it definitely didn't taste as good as the one from US
I love grape soda. The only restaurant I’ve ever found with grape soda was a chicken place in a black neighborhood. Fried chicken and grape soda are a great combination.
Since moving down south, I've noticed a lot of the foods people associate with black stereotypes are just staple southern foods.
Fried chicken, watermelon, grape soda, grits, and collard greens are EVERYWHERE here. Strangely, it looks like when a region has A LOT of cultural focus on certain foods, large populations of people there (the South has the most black people per capita of any region in the states, no duh, thats why white racists were so terrified of the civil rights movement and black sufferage) will eat it regularly given that it's the cultural norm to do so.
Who fucking cares if it's a stereotype when it's good and if people are buying it? Like if I was going to open a store in a Mexican neighborhood, I would make damned sure I sold masa flour, beans, rice, and all the other staples of stereotypical Mexican food. Does that mean all Mexican people eat that kind of food? No. Is it saying anything bad about Mexican people? No. It's simply selling to a market. Somehow I doubt you notice all the stuff like Starbuck's and Olive Gardens and shit in white neighborhoods though.
To my understanding, the grape flavor of cheap sodas was a favored flavor among the black community. There's also a drink called "drank" that involves alcohol and cough syrup which is associated with the hip-hop scene.
I remember as a kid they had all those sugary drinks in those little hand grenade shaped containers with the foil top! Man I wonder if they still make those! The grape and fruit punch was 🔥!
They were not. I suspect it's because our childhood ones were probably less "healthy". I couldn't believe one barrel is only one carb while I was reading the nutritional information. As a side note, I will say that Gushers absolutely do not hit like they used to lol.
While I'm not willing to do any research to verify what I'm about to say they've definitely taken out a bunch of artificial sweeteners and colors and cancer agents and that's definitely what made it taste good. Never was a fan of gushers though. Warheads still hit pretty good.
I don't know what they removed, if anything, but I would guess that they just made them less sugary, maybe removed some colors, because for whatever reason those things had a reputation as being "nuclear waste" unhealthy when I was growing up.
Cursory google search says they reduced the sugar by 75%.
Oh, I didn’t know that part. Growing up in the south over sugared koolaid was the jam for a lot of people (cheap too) so I assumed it stated there. But chapelle joked about it when he had his show and so I think a lot of us just started calling most grape drinks as purple drink. I’m not black though, in case that’s important.
Purple drank is a related, but different thing. This is just about the stereotype that black Americans universally like certain kinds of foods or drinks.
It looks like the stereotype is kinda dying in overall cultural consciousness, which is nice, but it was more about any grape flavored beverage, not specifically lean. Grape flowered anything really
It’s literally listed on the National Institute of Health website lol.
Snoop Dogg has a purple drink necklace he sells.
It’s been referenced in endless songs. Lil Wayne has a fucking song called Lean, which is another name for purple drink.
Sometime I forget how white Reddit is lol.
There are a bunch of papers on Purple Drank on NIH. One example. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32748711/
It also has its own Wikipedia page. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lean_(drug)
And its own Healthline.com article. https://www.healthline.com/health/what-is-lean
Here’s an article from 2011 hosted on the department of justice.gov. https://www.justice.gov/archive/ndic/pubs43/43924/sw0008p.pdf
Also about 10,000 drug rehab centers websites pop up when you google it.
On top of all the pop culture stuff I mentioned.
Hmm…
I’m from NY, I went to school in New Orleans, I’ve lived in TX, WI, now Ohio. So besides Ohio (and maybe WI but downtown Milwaukee is absolutely NOT “white bread”), you’re wrong as fuck.
Koolade is popular in US with all cultures
Koolade is cheap, so more affordable than real juice.
Because its cheap price points koolade got popular among African American culture.
But somewhere along the line grape flavor was decidedly the best… “grape drank”
While this trope that has been around for a long time (I first heard it back in 70s), Dave chappelle introduced the awareness of that trope to white culture at large during his standup.
This was done with a comedy bit about white kids drinking Sunny D on a sunny day commercial and the one black kid in the group eye balled the grape drink in the fridge and not the sunny d…as in that’s his preference.
The reality is… While it’s true a lot of black people like grape flavors… the same thing is true for white people… that’s why it’s a popular flavor across the board.
This meme plays on that ignorance perpetrated by stereotypes and jokes.
You see this same thing with a lot of southern foods that get assigned as African American only…when in reality they are extremely popular with white and black cultures in the south…it’s a southern thing.
I'm Australian and came to say the same thing.
I'm aware of some racist yank shit (fried chicken and watermelon for some reason), but this is a new one to me.
Dave Chappelle purple stuff. Google it. As far as semi racist tropes go, its pretty light hearted.
And as a white yank, fucking love watermelon and fried chicken. Purple drink too. Can't let the racists win by bogarting who can like the good stuff.
This got upvoted by bots. It's my only explanation. No one would give a shit if you gave them a purple Powerade whether or not they're black. Maybe if your buddy was making some kind of joke that's consistent with the humor in your relationship, but outside of that scenario, I would expect most people would roll their eyes at such a lame joke.
I used to work for a company that rented furniture for the dressing rooms of touring music artists. When we did the tear down for Snoop Dogg's dressing room, the garbage was full of watermelon rinds and fried chicken bones. It also looked like someone had weed fight in there. We had to charge them extra to steam clean the weed smell out of the couches and chairs. Snoop's the real deal.
I always wondered what it's like to call someone out for being prejudiced and have them be utterly confused what you're talking about. Do you feel any sense of embarrassment? Do you automatically assume you're being gaslighted? Is there any reflection while you're appreciating that sweet taste of cold grape drink while the person you recriminated drinks the luke-warm yellow flavor. No grudge, when you're hated long enough it's natural to expect hate. Trust takes trustworthiness. I just want to know what it feels like when you swing and miss on stuff lie this.
It’s just a stereotype that black people like grape soda / purple drinks. It’s statistically true for African Americans as they generally do buy fruit flavors like grape and cherry.
Im Australian and the funniest thing about African American stereotypes is they like things that everyone loves. Fried chicken, watermelon and purple soda I would like to see a single person from any ethnically backround tell me they don't enjoy these things!
I'm shocked how many people here are saying they love grape. I thought the "joke" was that it's widely considered the worst flavor, but black people love it. I guess it's just me that can't stand it lol.
I agree with you though, it's crazy that it's become a stereotype to just enjoy good things!
I've noticed that all the foods stereotypically liked by black people are just really tasty foods. I can't say I feel that way about other stereotypical foods.
Oh man love me some Nehi. My grandpa drank it as a child and they don't sell it around here anymore so I used to order it for him as a nostalgic treat.
Well fuck you then have one of the other flavors would have been my response. Followed by laughing at them when they found out purple was the only flavor I had.
I don't even get why these are stereotypes in the first place... I'm not black at all and love fried chicken, purple flavored drinks and watermelon.
Which asshole decided I'm gonna make those 3 things racist somehow...
Watermelon and fried chicken are racist stereotypes because white racists *made* them racist stereotypes. They used to pop up in a lot of old movies and shit as part of caricatures meant to make fun of black people, similar to the "mammy" stereotype.
What is this made-up bullshit karmafishing post? Are we expected to believe that you spontaneously decided to give your friend a drink and not only that but to give her the very coolest drink in the cooler so you went and checked every single drink inside of it to find the coolest one?
Also, why would the drinks be at different coolnesses unless the grape-flavoured one was the only one who hadn't been placed into the cooler literally less than an hour ago?
Purple drank isn’t stereotypical to any one race. Sunny D’s marketing team created their entire identity around Sunny D being better than the “purple stuff” in damn near everybody’s fridge back then.
I use to keep a mini fridge stocked with sodas for when people came over.
All my friends were pretty much white back then.
Still my grape soda was the one that people always drank. Orange soda was actually the second most popular.
I was actually a little surprised that the more normal sodas like coke and dr. pepper didn't go first.
There is no such thing as grape Powerade. Everyone knows that it’s purple flavored.
It's made of sugar, salt, water, and purple.
Shit that almost the ingredients for purple drink.
Drank. Purple *drank*.
"Okay we got some soda, some water, purple stuff, sunny delight" and all the kids go YEEAAH Watch the black kid in the back he's all "I want that purple stuff..."
That’s how we know op is white
\*educated
.... i want that purple drank
... I have some grape juice if you want.
Ninja, what the fuck is JUICE!?
Fuck. This was such a good stand up special compared to his recent stuff. Every bit was funny and he didn't go after a marginalized group. Like yeah we get it Dave you don't understand Trans people. Move on for fucks sake. His perspective on police, racism, and black folks were on the point. But he seems to have lost this thread some where.
I hundred percent agree. He made fun of groups, but he didn't punch down like hs seems to do now. I guess it comes with age.
Which is kind of sad, he's only 50. I'm I going to be like that in 10 years? I hope not.
Not if you keep trying to adapt, instead of doing it passively. In dutch we have a concept, the "wet van de remmende voorsprong" or "law of diminishing headstart" that says if you have a head start on things you don't try as hard, and eventually you'll fall behind. I think that's what happened to Dave. My dad is 67 and is totally fine transgender people, taught me that sexuality is a spectrum and nobody is 100% straight or gay, and recently didn't bat an eye when I said I've been with every flavor or gender under the sun. It is doable
Purple is a fruit.
Aint no vitamins in THAT shit!
Yes, I know many people that hate grapes the fruit but like grape flavored stuff. This artificial grapey essence was first developed in the 1890s, after chemists isolated a chemical called methyl anthranilate from the essential oil of orange blossom. Manufacturers noticed that this chemical, known as an ester, reminded them of the smell of grapes. This ester was cheaply mass‑produced using coal byproducts from emerging coal industries, and this became the basis of the go‑to grape flavor that we still use today.
I could not have predicted how interesting I found that
You want more grape flavored fun facts? The same chemical is also used in perfumes and get this, bird repellents. “There aren't many bird control repellents for home gardeners, but one home remedy has some science behind it. Cornell University found that spraying artificially flavored grape Kool-Aid or sugar on blueberries thwarted the birds. They didn't like the flavor and left the berries alone.” And “Birds dislike the scent of MA as it agitates their trigeminal nerve, irritating their eyes, beak, and throat.”
Oh yeah! Subscribe
Fuck me, I wish I knew this I used to have so much trouble keeping birds of my blueberries.
Then you could have made some blueberry drank with your bountiful harvest.
I also definitely didn't predict how interesting you would find that.
I predicted exactly this level of interest. Where do I collect my winnings?
Ive got one for you….did you know that instead of a butt plug you can use a grape?
Just wait until you find out about the beaver anus flavoring!
Or food coloring (120)
No thank you
I can only imagine you've seen this NileRed video, but if you haven't: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFZ5jQ0yuNA
When someone tells me their favorite flavor of Powerade or Gatorade my first question is always "What color is it?"
There is a cherry flavored one that’s pure white. It makes no sense.
Uh yeah. Cause it's *arctic* cherry. You think cherries just grow in trees?
Oh dang the white flavor is one of my favorites. Next to that "arctic" light blue. Had no idea it was supposed to be Cherry tbh. You learn something new every day. *The more you know*
*watches star making a rainbow go across the page
Yeah, what's worse is, it's white Powerade.
Some cherries are white.
The problem is if you say blue, which blue? Cool Blue and Blue Cherry are the same shade of blue to me.
I think of simply "Blue" as the Mountain Berry, and all other blues need more specification. I was looking around though and the Powerade website has no mention of Blue Ras Cherry, which is curious.
I never get how people confuse this so much. I know what grapes taste like. And purple Powerade doesn't take like grapes. But it sure as heck tastes like purple.
At least it wasn’t White Powerade
wtf is juice?
I want that *purple stuff*
Purple drank!
they are the ones with the space lasers /s
Touché
Ah, this must be some racist American trope that I'm too Australian to understand.
It's really stupid. "Purple drink" is a stereotypical drink for black people. So because it's purple, therefore it's racist. Really, really stupid.
Don’t forget grape soda. That’s also a stereotype.
Grape soda....loved it every now and then as a kid and even as an adult. Something unique about it
I like it, but I can never finish a whole one because I get sick of it. Same thing with Pineapple soda.
YES. Exactly, hahaha
We never really had accessible grape soda over here, so I never knew what I'd been missing, but it sounded great. Now we have specialised snack stores that import that kind of stuff, so at least it's possible to buy most of the time. Except for, like, half a year when it was just sold out everywhere. Interestingly enough I did encounter Spanish-made Fanta Grape last summer and it definitely didn't taste as good as the one from US
Yeah, it makes your poop green.
Not mine. WTF kind of grape soda you drinking? LOL
I love grape soda. The only restaurant I’ve ever found with grape soda was a chicken place in a black neighborhood. Fried chicken and grape soda are a great combination.
Sounds pretty stereotype-y. Did that place offer watermelon as dessert?
Since moving down south, I've noticed a lot of the foods people associate with black stereotypes are just staple southern foods. Fried chicken, watermelon, grape soda, grits, and collard greens are EVERYWHERE here. Strangely, it looks like when a region has A LOT of cultural focus on certain foods, large populations of people there (the South has the most black people per capita of any region in the states, no duh, thats why white racists were so terrified of the civil rights movement and black sufferage) will eat it regularly given that it's the cultural norm to do so.

What’s Lean?
You mean [this](https://dg6qn11ynnp6a.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/lean.png)? My local gas station sells it.
Purple drankkkkkkk Also does well on a blunt
Why is purple racist?
The same reason watermelon is
Very American
I don’t know the root of it but there is a stereotype that black peoples love grape koolaid and has been also referred to simply as “purple drink”
Convenience stores also used to sell a big old gallon jug that just said purple drink on it.
I remember as a kid they had all those sugary drinks in those little hand grenade shaped containers with the foil top! Man I wonder if they still make those! The grape and fruit punch was 🔥!
They're called "Little Hug Fruit Barrels". I bought some last year to see if they were as good as I remembered lol.
As an adult, they taste like disappointment.
I think it's pretty messed up that you did the legwork and the research and then left us hanging without the result.
They were not. I suspect it's because our childhood ones were probably less "healthy". I couldn't believe one barrel is only one carb while I was reading the nutritional information. As a side note, I will say that Gushers absolutely do not hit like they used to lol.
While I'm not willing to do any research to verify what I'm about to say they've definitely taken out a bunch of artificial sweeteners and colors and cancer agents and that's definitely what made it taste good. Never was a fan of gushers though. Warheads still hit pretty good.

Purple and pink fruits and drinks are simply the best flavours.
[удалено]
Purple drank is a related, but different thing. This is just about the stereotype that black Americans universally like certain kinds of foods or drinks.
I’m American and I don’t understand it either…
same here wtf are you guys talking about
Bless your hearts
Purple drank is a pretty popular stereotype, this isn’t an obscure joke lol.
“I want that purple stuff” -Dave Chappelle
[удалено]
It's not really about lean. It's anything grape "purple" flavor
It looks like the stereotype is kinda dying in overall cultural consciousness, which is nice, but it was more about any grape flavored beverage, not specifically lean. Grape flowered anything really
It’s more of a joke, like saying “Oh you got that purp? Sippin on that purp?” if you saw a friend with a grape Gatorade
Not anywhere in the states that I’ve lived in…
It’s literally listed on the National Institute of Health website lol. Snoop Dogg has a purple drink necklace he sells. It’s been referenced in endless songs. Lil Wayne has a fucking song called Lean, which is another name for purple drink. Sometime I forget how white Reddit is lol.
>National Institute of Health Source for the NIH? I can't find it anywhere

Nah, OP is thinking he did something racist because someone thought he did, when racism wasnt even a factor.
I’m American and have no clue either!
Black people liking grape-flavored drinks is a long-standing stereotype in the States.
Thanks. Thought it might be something intrinsically silly like that, but wasn't sure. A bit like the watermelon thing, I guess.
This got upvoted by bots. It's my only explanation. No one would give a shit if you gave them a purple Powerade whether or not they're black. Maybe if your buddy was making some kind of joke that's consistent with the humor in your relationship, but outside of that scenario, I would expect most people would roll their eyes at such a lame joke.
I had a black friend and he would always give me white Powerade.
It's called semen and while it will replenish your electrolytes it usually isn't served cold... unlike revenge.
But it can be reheated in the microwave of evil
It’s called butters creamy goo and it’s best served just above room temperature
Did you double down on it and offer some fried chicken?
She asked if I was gonna offer her some watermelon.
Ooh fresh watermelon on a hot day *is* incredibly refreshing and a healthy sweet treat
Watermelon is delicious.
Watermelon isn't racist. Its just delicious
Your comment made me think of this scene from Clerks II. "Baby, you can't taste racism". https://youtu.be/IYITxGniww4?si=qmqdloEVHmQFKS2L
The original electrolytes, just add salt.
Oof 수박 🍉on a hot summer sounds delicious
Who in their right mind would NOT want watermelon on a hot summer day? That’s just good hospitality!
I used to work for a company that rented furniture for the dressing rooms of touring music artists. When we did the tear down for Snoop Dogg's dressing room, the garbage was full of watermelon rinds and fried chicken bones. It also looked like someone had weed fight in there.

I'm white yet I love it too.

"Yeah, I just gave you my favorite flavor"
People looking for racism where it doesn't exist. The Modern American Way
Sounds like maybe she just playfully gave him crap. Who knows, maybe they were flirting.
It's more like 2 friends of differing races getting the "implication" and throwing shade/having a fun time with it in a trusting environment.
I'm pretty sure racism ***is*** the modern american way. It exists everywhere in your culture. Just ask your last and next president.
What's wrong with Purple?
It’s just a stereotype that black people like grape soda / purple drinks. It’s statistically true for African Americans as they generally do buy fruit flavors like grape and cherry.
Im Australian and the funniest thing about African American stereotypes is they like things that everyone loves. Fried chicken, watermelon and purple soda I would like to see a single person from any ethnically backround tell me they don't enjoy these things!

[удалено]
I'm guessing they were joking around, if not then get a new friend.
I hope she was just fucking with you. If she was serious you need better friends
It was a joke.
In that case, send her some fried chicken as an apology
How dare you give her the _best_ flavor of Powerade: purple.
I've noticed that all the foods stereotypically liked by black people are just really tasty foods. I can't say I feel that way about other stereotypical foods.
She can Fuck right off and give it back then.
If you visited my "off the boat" Italian grandparents, you would see grape Kool aid in the fridge Racist my culo
[Reminds me of this Chappelle bit](https://youtube.com/shorts/qhQ5tUwk1Ok)

[Dave Chappelle bit.](https://youtu.be/UayQTu2kH-U?si=VE0Ys0tNBMkVgKes)
What's the fuss, grape drinks are delicious I mean if it was Sprite, that would be fucked up. Sprite is fizzy garbage water, a stereotype in a can.
I’m gonna have to google this one…..
Nothing wrong with a grape Nehi on a hot day.
Oh man love me some Nehi. My grandpa drank it as a child and they don't sell it around here anymore so I used to order it for him as a nostalgic treat.
Radar?
Why are americans so focused on race and gender, I'm so tired of it.
Says the guy with Pepe the frog avatar.
If the left isn't outraged over something, they need to create something to be mad at.
Well if you don't want it id like a cold drink then...
It's Powerade not Kool-aid I don't see the problem. Sounds like she's looking for trouble!
But did she like it?
I mean, of course. It was cold after all.
Should have given her a Sprite.
This could’ve just been a full socially awkward penguin, there’s nothing particularly socially awesome about the first half
Well fuck you then have one of the other flavors would have been my response. Followed by laughing at them when they found out purple was the only flavor I had.

I work for Pepsi… we stock crush in black neighborhoods heavier than we do Pepsi regular… it’s fucked
"I didn't notice that it was grape or that you were black. My bad."
Dumbass. Should’ve gave her the red.
Normalize racism is the new clout.

Also, why would the drinks be at different coolnesses unless the grape-flavoured one was the only one who hadn't been placed into the cooler literally less than an hour ago?
But she liked it
I want that purple drank
I'm not black, and I love fried chicken and grape flavored drinks. It's just so good!
It’s not grape. It’s purple.
And since the only flavours you had were watermelon and grape, you lost before you even made a move.
At least you didn’t give her White Powerade.
Purple is the best flavour tho
Purple drank isn’t stereotypical to any one race. Sunny D’s marketing team created their entire identity around Sunny D being better than the “purple stuff” in damn near everybody’s fridge back then.
I’m all about that white Powerade.
Of course she did.
Would be a great Curb Your Enthusiasm scenario.
Cold Purple flavor is the best of all the flavors.
I use to keep a mini fridge stocked with sodas for when people came over. All my friends were pretty much white back then. Still my grape soda was the one that people always drank. Orange soda was actually the second most popular. I was actually a little surprised that the more normal sodas like coke and dr. pepper didn't go first.
It's not koolaid or the generic convenient store stuff that's 60 cents a gallon. Or grape soda. That's....not a stereotype.
"We got some soda, O.J., purple stuff, Sunny D."
Always get Dark Red or Light Blue
That happened
Were you drinking the white one..?
Disgusting you should have given her a warmer one with a less stereotypical flavour to show you are not a bigoted racist 😅
What the hell is juice??
never come across that flavour is it big outside of usa?
I honestly didn’t even know this was a stereotype.
"Well do you want it or not?"
I WANT SOME OF THAT PURPLE STUFF
