Yes, those silly people at Harvard Medical School should get some
lessons from you.

On the day before your colonoscopy — when you’re restricted to clear
liquids — you can have popsicles, Jell-O, clear broth, coffee or tea
(without milk or creamer), soft drinks, Italian ice, or Gatorade. But
take nothing with red, blue, or purple dye

The WEBMD guys don't know either.

One to two days before a colonoscopy, you will stop eating solid foods
and drink only clear fluids, such as water, tea, coffee, clear juices,
clear broths, flavored ice pops, and gelatin (such as Jell-O). Do not
drink anything red or purple, such as grape juice or fruit punch. And do
not eat red or purple foods, such as grape ice pops or cherry gelatin.
