Cool-aid gets such a bad rap here at DU! |
|
Just an observation :)
Though I haven't had any cool-aid lately, as a child I drank plenty of cool-aid.

1. Berry blue lemonade Kool-aid is awesome |
|
I think that's what it's called. It's one of the Tropical Twists flavours I think.

3. Yeah, I'm not sure why kool-aid is the chosen drink |
|
Is that what some cult drank? I forget. Maybe we should change it Mountain Dew or something.

5. It is in reference to the famed incident with Jim Jones and Guyana |
|
where all the followers of Jones drank Kool-Aid laced with cyanide and died...I think some 800 or more drank it....

6. I know what it is in reference to |
|
I just think it's pretty funny that that is such common knowledge and usage that the poor kids that hear us talking about drinking the kool-aid are like "Yeah so what it is good"
I just think it's funny!
