My sunny, funny face

Do you remember Funny Face? It was a Kool-Aid lookalike made by Pillsbury, which of course is based in Minneapolis, which meant Funny Face was fairly common in my childhood.

The flavors started out with some politically incorrect flavors. Bucktoothed Chinese Cherry became slaphappy Choo-Choo Cherry. Warpainted Injun Orange transformed into apparently insane Jolly Olly Orange.

Some of the other ones are just plain goofy. Tart N Tangy Orange seems to be determined to suck his face inside-out. Lefty Lemonade is like the scary hyper kid on your block. It looks like someone beat up Rah Rah Root Beer.

And with Loud Mouth Punch, it's like the artist wasn't even trying.
