It's been over 20 years since that Sunny Delight commercial and I still have no idea what "purple stuff" is.

Sugar, water, purple!

Always assumed it was grape juice, specifically Welch’s which was a popular item in the 80s/90s.

Oh hell nah. Welch's is grape juice made from actual concord grapes. Purple drink is made of purple.

It was in a pitcher. Definitely grape Kool-Aid or a knockoff of it.

Back then everyone was drinking promethazine like it was water. Children at school, high on the lean, making thanksgiving turkeys with hand prints. No one ever coughed tho.

It's a fine Cabernet.

Red 3 + Lead + Angel Dust = purple stuff

It was purple drank, no doubt. Everyone knows that

Context?

Purple stuff is Jesus juice.

Left over Flavor Aid gifted from the neighbors that seem to have disappeared...

Grape juice.

The word "over" is doing some heavy lifting here. That commercial came out in the 70s. It's closer to 50 years ago. Dave Chappelle was joking about it in the 90s.

It came out in 1991.

I'm not sure where you got the idea that the commercial was from the 70s.

Sometime after 2000 BCE, the question of what the ambiguous reference to "purple stuff" referred to became a shared cultural flashpoint.

I always assumed it was just grape kool-aid.
"What the fuck is juice? We got grape drink. It's purple!"
Sugar. Water. Purple.
Purplesaurus Rex to be specific
More like a step down from even that, purple flavor-aid (without the diphenhydramine, promethazine, chlorpromazine, chloroquine, diazepam, chloral hydrate and cyanide) or some other knock off. But yeah basically that.
