Since it was kinda rare even in its day, Surfin’ Berry Punch is crazy rare now. In fact, it wasn’t until 2017 that I finally saw a few packets pop up, and I’d been searching for this Kool-Aid nonstop — I mean 24/7 nonstop — since 2002.
For the longest time, Surfin’ Berry Punch was my white whale. My bright red white whale. It’s one of the hardest Kool-Aid flavors to find on the collectors’ market, and not just because it’s been out of production for over 25 years.
I’d say it’s 80% cherry, 15% raspberry and 5% mystery flavor. I assume that Surfin’ Berry Punch was created to dick over Hawaiian Punch, but the competing mixes were more similar in name than flavor. This was basically second grade sangria.
Judging by my research, Surfin’ Berry Punch only had one strong year: 1987, which was also its debut year. The flavor quietly lasted until the early ‘90s, but only because Kool-Aid takes a while to go bad, and hell, if you already made and packaged the stuff, that money’s spent.
According to the original TV commercial — which I’m hoping was misdated, otherwise I’m wrong about that supposed 1987 debut — the flavor of Surfin’ Berry Punch was “a wave of wild berries.” That’s pretty nondescript, like “bowl of brown” or “enemy bait.”
