In the spirit of responding to a jest with a ponderous lecture,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kool-Aid#.22Drinking_the_Kool-Aid.22

But I learned from this:

1. it is kool-aid, not koolade

2. the phrase originated from the LSD culture, not Jonestown

3. you can find damn near anything in wikipedia

I already knew it was really "Flavor Aid." Doesn't have quite the same
ring, does it?
