I, for one, do NOT agree that jungle juice should be merged into spodi. Spodi is just a regional name for the same type of drink, as are trash can punch, hairy buffalo, PJ, purple Jesus, hunch punch, witches brew and wop. Maybe you can have a "catch-all" article that all of these, plus jungle juice and spodi, can point to? I don't know how to do that. But DEFINITELY don't merge Jungle Juice into Spodi.

I myself have always heard of this called trash can punch , but its the same thing.

When I was at UConn it was claimed that Jungle juice was named after the wild dorms, North Campus which was referred to as the Jungle when the Veterans came back from a war and threw wild parties with their jungle juice.--Saxophonemn (talk) 02:21, 29 August 2008

I made 2 batches of Jungle Juice on our 1976 high school graduation trip to Galvsiton, Texas, and we had made plenty of it before then in Ville Platte, Lousiana. Hawaiian Pucnch was the fruit juice of choice at the time and me thinks it got it's name from that. My brother and his friends had made it prior to 1972 in Ville Platte, Lousiana.Cajuncole (talk) 22:20, 27 December 2010 (UTC)^[1][reply]

Etymology

Couldn't it be as simple as the juice containing tropical fruit flavors? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.68.111.193 (talk) 20:48, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

From the article on Sterno (Canned Heat): "The practice is said to have become popularized during the Great Depression in hobo camps, or "jungles", when the Sterno would be squeezed through cheesecloth or a sock and the resulting liquid mixed with fruit juice to make "Jungle Juice" or "Squeeze".[4]" (link: http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1798&dat=19620105&id=5vMeAAAAIBAJ&sjid=04sEAAAAIBAJ&pg=7280,483466) -- seems this should be added if legit
