Any military people remember bug juice?

Postby Susie Hamilton » January 24th, 2009, 3:20 pm

We had an incident at work today. The custodian did not dilute the cleaning solution enough. It caused a carrier in the immediate vicinity to have breathing problems and get a ride from the EMT's to a hospital. When we looked at the bottle of cleaner, the first thing I thot of was bug juice. Anyone remember that? They served it on the mess decks as a drink and they also used it to clean the grills, etc.
To God be the Glory.

Had a friend who's dad was in the navy and whenever we wanted kool aid they said "Kevin would you like some bug juice?" Of course i was maybe 13 so the first time I head that I was kinda grossed out not knowing they were serving kool aid :lol: :lol:

We have "bug juice" around here... My adopted grands love it... I am assuming it is extremely sweet kool-aid mixture... It comes in small bottles with little bugs on the plastic around the bottle...my girls love it...

I have had military cooks help out in summer camp, and they used unsweetened koolaid-type powdered drink mix (the powder, not the mixed drink) to clean the griddles and stove tops.

I was told that it was the ascorbic acid in those powders that break down the greases on the grill and make them easier to clean.

you surround them with your favor as with a shield." (Psalm 5:12)
