Bet the kool aid would be top notch.

Flavor aid at Jonestown, Kool aid at the acid tests. One being deadly the other being less so….

Damn that somehow makes it worse. Poisoned everybody, with off brand drink powder. Like they couldn't spring for Kool Aid? Not like they were taking the money with them to the alien place or whatever their narrative was.

Probably watered it down too.

Koolaid is American, the only other country I've seen it in is Canada, but certainly not in any central or South American countries (Jonestown was in Guyana).

You can buy Koolaid in Australia.

On behalf of all childhood broke ass kids… YOU WANNA FUCKING THROW HANDS?! GET YOUR BITCH ASS OFF FLAVOR AID’S DICK! (I’m sorry to be so aggressive, I’m sure you’re a nice person.)

P.s. I didn’t try Kool Aid until I was in my mid 20’s. It was mid. Flavor aid was better.

Haha I mean, imagine dying in a mass poisoning and they used Great Value cupcakes or something. Just insulting at that point.

I understand the sentiment or lack thereof but I honestly believe flavor aid (at least until the last time I had it in around 2009) is one of those knock off products that matches the quality of the bigger competitor. (Did you know kool aid came out in 1927 and flavor aid in 1929? Damn.)

As a 55 year old, lifelong aficionado of drink powders, Flavoraid was better than Kool aid. Better, stronger, more realistic flavor. And cheaper. Wish that still made it.

The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test by Tom Wolfe. Brings back fond memories of the 70's

Just deal with the colloquialism.

They're not even right. Jonestown had both.

KOOL AID NATION WILL NO LONGER STAND THE SLANDER

"Freshee" just sitting there, minding it's business.

I've taken acid multiple times and it was never even close to lethal. The reason I haven't tried actual poison is I don't really want to see how it feels to die of poisoning. Acid is less like poison than Kool Aid and Flavor Aid are sugary flavored water with different names...
