# Pffft.
Mental cult leader. Laced a load of drink with cyanide and got all his followers to drink it. It was known as the Jonestown Massacre and the phrase 'don't drink the kool aid' has come to mean, 'be careful of that bunch of nutters'.

# I have a packet of it here
I remember it being quite nice, but very sweet (as you would expect)

Its a summer drink, for days where you want lots of energy but dont mind crashing after a few hours of intense sugar.

# Righto.
I tried Gator-aid while I was in the states but didn't see any kool aid.

Is it fizzy? Why is it 'aid' instead of 'ade'?

# Its very wierd, its like a packet mix
that you put in a jug with sugar and water. I think it was fizzy...it was about 8 years ago I had it, and this packet I have here has been sat unused for about 2 years.

Basically its the kind of thing you shouldnt drink if you value your teeth :)
