Its the combination of the two with cough medication added to it to get a high. They call it Purple Drank or Lean is a cocktail that is created by mixing Robitussin or other over-the-counter cough medicines with ― yes ― Skittles and Arizona Iced Tea usually the Watermelon Juice flavor. Purple Drank also goes by other street names such as?sizzurp, lean, syrup, sip sip, drank, barre, purple jelly and Texas tea. ?It has opiate-like effects. ?Some of its side effects include confusion, agitation, and hallucinations among others.

Since this is a culture forum I will you the recipe I used in the past. Not saying its the best but just saying what we used to use.

1 4 oz. bottle of Cheratussin AC (or whatever syrup you get you may have to adjust)

4 of your javorite jolly ranchers or skittles (I do all red for color\taste reasons)

1 can of Sprite watermelon juice cocktail or iced tea

Add in that order to an empty McDonald's styrofoam cup over lots of ice. Stir lightly and turn on crappy music. Doesn't taste so hot but it is what it is.

I had a cough syrup that had hycodane (unpleasant in high doses) in it one time. What does the bottle say your syrup contains? per tsp. 4 oz would prob be way too much hydro syrup.

If you nuke the Skittles in a microwave on "HIGH" for half an hour, then throw them into a blender with artificially sweetened canned iced tea, and then drink the entire gloppy mess really fast, it makes your fingers slightly numb and increases your pulse rate and makes you feel like you're going to throw up. Which is a feeling that is highly prized by many young black men in America.

The rabid racists in America were suggesting that the combination hightened the effects of another drug, so it was acceptable to kill in cold blood any black person carrying those two products...

great for munchies.
