Kool Aid is a powdered
drink mix. A
staple of most homes with
small children when I was
growing up, it has been replaced in the past 10 years by the
juice box. Normal mixing instructions include mixing a
cup of sugar and 2 quarts of water, although how people mix it varies.
Flavors vary from passable to horrid. I have always thought that orange Kool Aid tastes like cancer, although I have no proof; cancer may not taste that bad.
Kool Aid's mascot is an enormous pitcher of red Kool Aid, known as Kool Aid Man. He has a penchant for causing structural damage to any building in which Kool Aid is being served, so, parents, be warned.
