I was visiting a grocery store one day in Hot Springs, South Dakota, USA. It has something like 2000 people.
Anyway, I was looking at their Kool-Aid stash and everything was current. So picked up a box of Lemon-Lime and saw some Pink Swimminggo laying flat under the box. Well, I started cleaning the shelf, if you know what I mean. Then a manager came over to me and said, "Oh I'm so sorry for all this old stuff still on the shelf. I thought we cleaned all that up."
I said to him, "Uhh, do you mean you have more of this 'old' stuff somewhere?"
He said, "Yeah, I have a soup box full of stuff. I let the employees take home what they want."
Grinning, I said, "Well, I for one would buy probably all of it! I happen to like the 'old' stuff."
"Buy it? Hell, son it's yours." He leaves and comes back with a huge variety of the sports designs, super fruity, and the creature named packets (Sharkleberry Fin, Purplesaurus Rex,...).
I thanked him and as I was leaving the store I heard him say to one of the cashiers, "That there is one nice, strange, and thirsty kid. Hell, some of that stuff is from the 80's!"

Kool-Aid Manifesto
by Dan Jacko
I am the master of mixing all Flavors Kool. I have the art of making Kool-Aid down to an exact science. Some may think they're pretty slick mixing things like Incrediberry, The Great Bluedini, Purplesaurus Rex and Sharkleberry Fin, but only a true master can mix a good batch of the original flavors. The ones that should only be referred to by their color; Red, Orange, Purple, Pink, Yellow, and Blue.
Some may think the more sugar the better, but they don't understand that then you loose the flavor and the drink is insulting to the pallet. No, few know the art of lowering the sugar water content to increase the robust taste of the crimson ale.
Yes, over the years we as a people have gotten lazy using our Kool-Aid Bursts and our pre-mixed Kool-Aid cartons. Some have even reverted back to drinking Tang. People have forgotten the pure ecstasy of drinking the last glass of a batch that has not been so well mixed.
I have saved up thousands upon thousands of Kool-Aid points over my life time, and am in the process of converting my entire checking account. After all, at the turn of the century when Y2K hits Kool-Aid points will be the only stable monetary unit. I am one of the last Kool-Aid masters and I vow I will bring this knowledge back to my generation. I am the Kool-Aid Man and Kool-Aid will Reign Supreme. Oh Yeah!

i was using ka as dye to detect leaks in a water cooler. the water cooler itself was a device that ran water over my computer's cpu (that's the brain). i was just reading the faq and noticed the "other uses" section, and thought i'd contribute.
i was in canada recently, and they have kool-aid, mostly the same flavors, but packaged differently. i stocked up on the flavors i didn't recognise ;P

A couple years ago when the Red river was flooding in Grand Forks North Dakota my son was 4. He and I had been up in the night because he didn't feel well. He is a very energetic boy and we were watching the news to bore us to fall asleep the story was about the flooding he asked me about it and I thought that was the end.
The next day he was playing with his blocksin the living room and I was quick to go to the basement to get a load of laundry. When I returned he was squeeling with delight. To my dismay I entered the living room to see his pleasure. "Look mommy I made the Red River and its flooding too" He had made a riverbed and flooded it with Cherry Koolaid right through the middle of my living room.
I was panicked and still could not help busting up laughing.

Nothing ever has,nor ever will, compare to the amazing concotion known only as Kool-Aid. Oh, sure, there have been beverages that, for a while, blinded me from Kool-Aid. Sodas, snapple, cappecinos, and even the trendy little bottles of water, have all crossed my lips, but when it all boils down, Kool-Aid is what i reach for. Kool-Aid was there with me from the beginning. Kool-Aid is what i drank watching Mr. Roger's Neighboorhood and it's still what i drink to chase a Tequila shot! he he... I will tell more Kool-Aid tales another time.
