The History of Kool-Aid

Kool-Aid is a household name today. Nebraska
named Kool-Aid as its official state drink in the late 1990s, while Hastings, Nebraska, the city where the powdered drink was invented, "celebrates a yearly summer festival called Kool-Aid Days on the second weekend in August, in honor of their city's claim to fame," notes Wikipedia. If you're an adult, you likely have memories of drinking the powdered beverage on hot, summer days as a child. But, the story of Kool-Aid's invention and rise to popularity is an interesting one—literally a rags-to-riches story.

People Are Making Kool-Aid Pickles—and Every Pickle Lover Needs to Try ‘Em

What Is a Kool-Aid Pickle? At first glance, the combination may sound like a recipe for disaster. But
people have been soaking pickles in Kool-Aid for quite some time down South. Mississippi is the birthplace of Kool-Aid pickles, which people have nicknamed “Koolickles.” The colorful and crunchy products are a combination of dill pickles and Kool-Aid powder, and fit the pickling culture of the American South quite well. (Even if you aren’t from Mississippi, we can teach you how to pickle peaches, chard, Brussels sprouts and more like a pro.) Convenience stores make and sell these snacks by the...

VIDEO: Robby Soave Guzzles the 60 Minutes Ray Epps Kool-Aid

VIDEOWhile watching 60 Minutes laughably attempting to "debunk" the idea that Ray Epps was a J6 Fed, I figured that no rational person would swallow their weak Kool-Aid. I was wrong. The
Hill Rising's self-styled libertarian Robbie Soave despite being suspicious of the government somehow managed to make himself believe the 60 Minutes report as you can see. He does point out all the many feds involved in the Gretchen Whitmer "kidnapping" case yet somehow talks himself into believing that the feds wouldn't do what they often do on J6, namely to insert feds into a situation to help create...

young men had kicked down several sections of his fence. According to police, Damiani’s home was not the only one the group went on to prank that night. “On the night in question, it looks like four homes were hit and tied to these individuals,” The teens later...

‘Cancel Culture’ is the Kool-Aid, and Alan Bergstein isn’t drinking it

| 2/21/22 | Katheryn C. Bailey
As “cancel culture” has swept through this country, our leaders, government officials, teachers, college professors, and even reporters are jumping on the bandwagon by tempering their words to avoid conflict. Op-ed
writer Alan Bergstein, whose words can be harsh, really harsh, is not drinking the ‘Cancel Culture Kool-Aid.’ His brutal honesty is necessary for today’s political climate and crucial for us to survive as a free people. In his own words: “Let’s get right to the point: The two top elected leaders of this country constitute a clear and present danger to our survival.”

Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers (D) slammed state Republicans on Monday over plans to spent $680,000 on an investigation into the 2020 election, accusing Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R) of “drinking the Kool-Aid” after a recent meeting with former President Trump. “Things changed a bit when Robin Vos went down and visited Donald
Trump and got that nice picture on the plane,” Evers said, according to The Associated Press. “Apparently they’re all drinking the Kool-Aid. But I think it was really, really unfortunate." “What it tells me is that this is going to be wide-ranging and probably $680,000 at a minimum...

Why Civil Rights Attorney Leo Terrell 'Stopped Drinking the Democratic Kool-Aid'

One of the talking points that continually comes out of the Democratic Party and the Democratic Media Complex is that the Republican Party is racist or filled with white supremacists because people support law enforcement officers and don't immediately bend the knee to the rage bomb. Most
of them seem to forget, however, that it was the Republican Party that pushed for freeing black slaves, which lead our nation to the American Civil War. It was President Abraham Lincoln – a Republican – that delivered the Emancipation Proclamation. It was the Republican Party that championed the landmark Brown v. Board...

| 1/20/19 | By Veronica Neto
This week’s Saturday Night Live episode, hosted by Rachel Brosnahan, featured a Kool-Aid parody of Gillette’s Super Bowl “We Believe” ad, which sparked controversy when the commercial addressed issues concerning toxic masculinity. The
sketch opens up with an ’80s-themed ad featuring two teenage boys talking about how thirsty they are after a basketball practice. The Kool-Aid man then bursts through a wall with a jug of Kool-Aid saying his signature “Oh yeah!” while the excited boys say “I wanna be like Kool-Aid!”

Brennan, CIA 'Kool-Aid drinkers' blasted by Benghazi terror survivor (He pulled Paronto clearance)

The Washington Times ^
| 8/17/18 | Douglas Ernst
Benghazi terror attack survivor Kris Paronto made it clear this week that he won’t be defending former CIA director John Brennan anytime soon. The
former Army Ranger and CIA contractor who lived to tell the tale of the Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist attacks in Benghazi, Libya, said Mr. Brennan essentially got off easy when President Trump revoked his security clearance. Mr. Paronto lost his security clearance years ago for telling his account of the attack.

Serving the Kool-Aid to Diaspora Jews

Hat Tip: Robert M "What is truly macabre is the behavior of sections of Diaspora Jewish communities. Fringe
groups in both the U.S. and U.K. have been publicly demonstrating in favor of the Hamas killers and even holding surreal recitations of the mourner’s kaddish, naming the individuals killed. This is the equivalent of reciting kaddish for dead SS soldiers who shared the same genocidal objectives against the Jews as Hamas – truly a chilul Hashem, a desecration of God’s name.Even beyond this demented fringe, many Jews are publicly expressing grief at the death of the terrorists. Yet they do not...

Academic Jargon without Kool Aid

| May 25, 2017 | Malcolm A. Kline
It turns out that we outsiders are not the only ones who have developed a jaundiced view of academic jargon. Insiders
who don't like Kool Aid also find it inane. "Young people are now told that they must produce 'original' research to get into the best graduate schools—never mind that they’ve just arrived at college and barely know their way around the fields they might want to pursue," Elizabeth Corey writes in the Spring 2017 issue of Modern Age. "A technique called 'rapid prototyping,' pioneered by computer engineers, advocates quickly moving from initial idea to implementing without agonizing over perfecting...

Dems lap up Hillary Kool Aid at their own risk

“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” — Albert Einstein The Democrat Party wants Americans to believe that Hillary Clinton, and her running mate Virginia Senator Tim Kaine, are progressives who favor progress towards better conditions in the government and society. However,
as Mark Twain stated, “Action speaks louder than words but not nearly as often.” Why is it that intelligent and kind-hearted people can succumb to the deceptive practices of politicians and drink their proverbial “Kool-Aid”? To many Americans, this may seem like madness, but I recall a time when I, too, succumbed...

General Petraeus is drinking the PC Kool Aid

US Defense Watch ^
| May 15, 2016 | Ray Starmann
I’ve always thought highly of General David Petraeus. He’s a smart man who was an extremely competent US Army general officer; perhaps even a mini MacArthur without the gigantic ego and the propensity for hunkering down in dugouts. Petraeus
was the man who led the surge, who took command of US forces in Afghanistan, who later became the Director of the CIA. In an era searching for real military leadership, Petraeus seemed just what the doctor ordered. Or, was he? His reputation was tarnished by an affair with his biographer and his carelessness which allowed her access to his Top...

It seems nearly every day that the Pentagon is talking to the American people in double, triple and quadruple speak. The
truth is a fugitive, on the run from numerous admirals, generals and cabinet members who distort reality and who are sucking down enough Kool Aid to fill Chesapeake Bay. According to the Pentagon, the air war against ISIS is successful, combat in Iraq is non-combat, women can make it through Navy SEAL training and 50 Special Forces soldiers can retake Syria. Who’s running the Pentagon now, Charlie Sheen? Winning! Without further ado, the Pentagon Kool Aid dramatis personae: Secretary...
