The 12th of August is Kool-Aid Day. It has been observed since at least 1994, when it was celebrated by the Pastime Car Show in Hastings, Nebraska, where Kool-Aid was invented in 1927.
When’s the last time you had Kool-Aid? Probably too long.
If you think it’s beneath you now, because you only imbibe ultra-dry martinis, then have a few martinis and get back to us — you might feel a bit more well-disposed towards celebrating an old friend afterwards.
So grab a pack and mix it up, and take a trip down memory-lane by reading all about Kool-Aid.
