So the drinking commenced. My sister, mom, dad and I must have consumed hundreds, maybe thousands, of glasses of the Kool-Aid Man’s tonic in order to save enough points to get a toy we really wanted. Heck, for all I know my mom could have been just buying packets to cut the points off, I was too young and buzzed up on sugar to care. After pouring over our choices in the Wacky Warehouse catalog, passing over the plastic cup sets, t-shirts, beach balls and snap bracelets, we finally found something we could both use – walkie talkies! The order was placed, and since we are talking about the pre-internet ages, my mom had to barbarically fill out an order form by hand, make sure to include our multitude of Kool-Aid points and hope to God that the special delivery did not get lost in the mail.
Now that summer is coming, I will be getting back into the Kool-Aid season. I just love the way the stuff tastes, smells, looks and I have finally perfected the art of carefully mixing the colored grit as to not spill any of the contents. More importantly, what human does not smile when they see a picture of the Kool-Aid man? He is the kind of dude that will blast through walls if he senses a child is thirsty, welcoming their cheers with a hearty “Oh Yeah”! He is the first, and only, drink pitcher I know if that can breakdance and play baseball, all while being attentive to the dehydration needs of the community.
While you, Mr. Kool Aid, may have suffered a few setbacks in the past, like the introduction of “mystery flavors” and fanny packs bearing your likeness, you have managed to persevere and bring refreshment to an all new generation of thirsty youth. I would have thought that all that sugar constantly pumping through your veins would finally be starting to take its toll, but the last time I saw you I was taken aback by your sinewy biceps and slightly trimmer physique. This worried me a little considering the new skeletor trend currently taking place in Hollywood, but I am sure it is just a result of you cutting back on your serving sizes a bit. You are perfect the way you are.


Kool Aid gives me ulcers in my mouth, too acidic… or else I’d drink it every day like I did when I was a kid (before my mom realized what was causing the ulcers, lol).
Do you remember the whole “I dyed my hair with Kool Aid” fad that went around in middle/early high school?
People would come to school wearing Purple highlights… (the next day they would be green since the dye was only good for like two washes)… and they would brag about the money they saved by using Kool Aid instead of “Manic Panic” hair dye (available at your local Hot Topic store). Haha.
i was a hawaiian punch girl / my mom thought it was more cost effctive to buy a can of this rather than using 1 cup of sugar to make kool aid. we had the red joker smiles afterwards and it gave my brother jack the excuse to ask
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE A NICE HAWAIIAN PUNCH ?

We just found hundreds of kool-aid points that we had saved during the 80′s. Can we still redeem them? I wish they would start up those points again….I’ve noticed they are no longer on the packages
