I wonder when they last made them from fresh ingredients?? Also, passion fruit is so yellowish, seems to me even grenadine can't redden it up as much as the Pat O's mix. If they served them that red in the days before powdered mix, they musta been adding food dye. My friends say the version i make tastes like Pat O's (even tho its the wrong color) when I add tons of sugar. Mabuhay! [ Edited by: thePorpoise 2011-02-08 14:09 ]
