Since the Kickapoo people are an indigenous people to the states of Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas, it would be a good idea if the origin of the name "Kickapoo" in this drink's name were at least mentioned briefly in this article. 173.89.236.187 ( talk) 03:41, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
I understand that Kickapoo Joy Juice is a light-hearted reference to a cartoon strip (which I enjoyed as a child) and a current beverage, but it has an older history. The 19th century Kickapoo Patented Medicine shows sold this stuff, which often contained opiods, with exaggerated claims of magic healing properties [1] shows that Al Capp got the name from traveling medicine shows. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:648:8700:1580:68A9:16CF:84D5:DE1E ( talk) 15:50, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
