Flavor Aid, not Kool Aid.
Trump would charge Kool Aid prices for Flavor Aid
It sucks that koolaid gets roped in like that, but even more horrible are the recordings of what drinking poison sounds like. I try not to invoke the event through that phrase, either way.
koolaid was always an expression for "getting drunk from the propaganda"
Apparently the phrase first showed up in 1968, but "drinking the koolaid" is more strongly associated with the Jonestown mass suicide in 1978, wherein 900 cult members all drank cyanide-laced Flavoraid, including young children, and the audio recordings of that event are haunting.
