    Somewhere around 40 years ago my mother was a representative for a food company and I got to wear the Kool-Aid suit at a marketing event on a hot summer day in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Thankfully it had an internal cooling system and two fan assisted vents.

    I was 9 and my brother was 6. I made 2 pitchers of Kool-Aid and accidentally put the 2 different flavors in the same pitcher. I panicked because I knew Mom would be upset that I wasted 2 packets, so he gallantly chugged the entire pitcher of grape-orange Kool-Aid. And promptly threw up. That right there is why he's my favorite brother. 😂

    My parents use to buy the huge bulk pre-sweeten cherry flavor Kool-Aid in bulk when I was a kid. We had it constantly growing up in Winnipeg MB in the 90s. As an adult if I can't be anywhere near the stuff, if I smell it I will throw up uncontrollably.

    We rarely had soft drinks when I was a kid in the 70s. We had Kool-Aid instead as it was much cheaper. My friends and I drank so much that I think our blood type was Kool-Aid during the summer. It's funny how much I loved it as a child but I haven't had any since circa 1980. I wonder if it tastes like nostalgia.

    In 2000-2001, a drunk driver hit a brick wall at the entrance to the University of Maryland, knocking a hole in it. While waiting for repairs to start, the school printed out an image of their mascot, the Testudo, breaking through the wall. One or more anonymous students quickly stole this mascot, and as a prank, replaced it with an oversized Kool-Ade man image, with supplemental signs, saying "Oh no!" "Oh NO!" "OH NO!" and the man him-self with a speech bubble of "OH YEAH!!!" in a reference to the then very new Family Guy bit. The school's response was "OK, Good prank; but we'd really like our turtle-sign back; it wasn't cheap."

    Kool-Aid ended up becoming the drink of choice by lower income families, as it was all they could afford. My little brother LOVED drinking kool-aid!! He drank it so much, as a kid, that his breath began to smell like whatever flavor kool-aid he had drank, lol! Does anyone else remember those ads, from the '90s, that suggested mixing kool-aid with milk? I just barely remember them, & we actually tried that, & let's just say it's an acquired taste, & we didn't do it for long.
