I have always liked the Kool-Aid pitcher character that is on T.V. commercials. I wanted to find more information about Kool-Aid. The names of the inventors of the drink are Edwin Perkins and his wife Kitty in Hastings, Nebraska. Kool-Aid was introduced in 1927. All of the trials and creations of the drink all took place in Edwin Perkins mothers’ kitchen. At first Kool-Aid was a liquid concentrate and the name of it was Fruit Smack. Then in 1927 Edwin started shipping the Kool-Aid and realized it was very expensive to ship the Fruit Smack and that was when he found a way to take the liquid out and it was only in powder form. It was then when the name Fruit Smacked changed to Kool-Aid. The production of Kool-Aid was changed to be produced in Chicago starting in 1931. In 1953 is when the selling of Kool-Aid started to be sold to general food stores. Ever year Nebraska still holds a celebration in the summertime called “Kool-Aid Days” to remember the fame the city is known for. The official drink of Nebraska is Kool-Aid. The mascot for Kool-Aid started soon after Kool-Aid was being sold as a general food. Kraft Foods is the current owner of Kool-Aid. There are many flavors of Kool-Aid and I love drinking it. I think it is really interesting what I found out about Kool-Aid and I like the mascot because it always makes me want to drink it.
