Description
Sunday afternoons sometimes the family went out to the Western Sizzlin for late afternoon dinner, steak, fries, and yep, yummy red Thirsty Smash fruit punch. Seems like there was a comic purple character on the outside of the carton (came in single serve pint(?)size cardboard cartons) that knocked out the bad guy Thirst. Thus, Thirsty Smash! Anyone have pictures or anything? Hardly ANYTHING comes up on this online, I know I didnt dream it!

Thristy Smash was available as a grocery product in the late 60's early 70's. It featured bad guy characters "The Thirsties" that were "smashed" by the product hero. There was a good amount of TV advertising to support it. It failed and it seems surprising that some vestige of the drink was still available in the 80s.
I remember this Borden product and the commercial which involved a creature called the "binsky" which chased a little girl who screamed "Help, it's the binsky!". The binsky was then "smashed" with a giant carton of you guessed it, Thirsty Smash. Oh, those childhood memories.
At least in the '60s, it was spelled "Thirstee Smash."
I grew up in chicago and we drank it in the late 1960's great stuff !
