I was thinking about the Kool-Aid man. How does he stay filled? Since he only seems to show up on hot days, he must have problems with evaporation. And there's no way he can crash through those brick walls without something spilling over the top. It couldn't just be the same stagnant Kool-Aid in him all the time, for all these years. So what does he do? Does he bend over and dump himself out every once in a while? And how often? Then how does he fill himself back up? Does he just sit under the shower for a while, pouring sugar and Kool-Aid mix in himself until he's filled up? And what happens when he pees? And how come none of it spills out when he opens his mouth? Most baffling of all, what goddamn flavor is he? Strawberry, cherry, or tropical punch?

Any theories?

Perhaps he congures up the Kool Aid out of nothing.

I always thought it was tropical punch, just because thats like the best flavor of basic Kool-Aid... And what about those pitcher he always hands out, are those like his children or something... And why does he always need those Kool-Aid points... And why in recent years did they feel the need to put pants on him... But why he doesn't loose any of his juice is because he is really just Jello, its all just a big lie... Well the current one is Jello the real one is a junkie now after all those parties back in the 60's... He never knew what hit him...

The guy who invented Kool-Aid got the idea from Jell-O. It was originally called Fruit Smack or something.

Does anyone ever watch that show on Comedy Central where it animates certain bits from different stand-up comic's routines? It's called "Shorties Watching Shorties", I believe.

Anyway, one of the recent episodes had a bit talking about this subject. It was pretty funny - it was talking about how the Kool-Aid Man always bursts through walls screaming like Randy Savage and gives the kids their Kool-Aid, but he never stays around to pay for the damage he's caused. And, of course, the kids would get the blame because, after all, who would believe that a gigantic bowl of punch destroyed the side of the house?

We don't have Kool-Aid Man over here. All I know of him is that he's a big jug o' stuff that bursts through walls a lot. And I only know that because I've watched Family Guy.

I used to get Kool-Aid sachets in some old back issues of Untold Tales of Spider-Man, so I'm down with the stizuff and all current trends. w0rd. I always found it a little flavourless, but it certainly was thirst-quenchin' upon a hot summer's day. Keeping in mind that by that time the sachets were several years old, I probably should have at least gotten mild food poisoning, but hey.

As for GG!'s question...no fucking clue. Probably the same unexplained, magical reason as how the Trix rabbit survived even though his apparent only source of food was consistently stolen from him by obnoxious bastard kids.

To answer Gibbon's "flavor" question concerning the Kool-Aid man, I think he's cherry. One of the first flavors, after all.

I've actually discovered that most people don't make it right. The correct way to prepare Kool-Aid is to first put the sugar in the pitcher (I like to add just a liiittle bit more than the recommended 1 cup). Add some ice cubes, then fill it up with filtered water to about 1/2 - 3/4 cup below the 2 quart mark, depending on how many ice cubes you added. Now open the packet of Kool-Aid mix and pour it in quickly at an angle, to minimize the loss of flavor powder into the air. Now stir it for about 2 minutes, and whether you go clockwise or counter, don't change directions halfway through. Pour what you like and refrigerate the rest immediately.

Most people are surprisingly haphazard in their preparation of this fine beverage.

Really?

By the way, if you were wondering where I was, I was grounded.

Well, you missed a lot. In fact, you missed so much, you'll never catch up, so you might as well go get grounded again.

Why doesn't the Trix rabbit buy a gun?

Why doesn't Lucky get a home security system to protect his lucky charms?

Why did Snap, Crackle, and Pop have to obey the speed limit in the commercial where they were driving in the desert with no one around?

And why did Toucan Sams loving nephews care more about the Fruit Loops than their uncle's life?

Light Speed · Post by **Light Speed** » Tue Nov 16, 2004 4:23 pm

It's fucking Froot Loops, thats why. They are way more important. Also this is about Kool-Aid, not cereal.

Godamn GG!, I guess I never knew that's how you really made Kool-Aid.

This has also been bugging me for a while, but is it Godamn, God damn, or Goddamn, or what?

Light Speed · Post by **Light Speed** » Tue Nov 16, 2004 4:27 pm

I think it's God damn.

It's goddamn.
And I think Eternal Gamer and I had this discussion in 1997... something about the Kool-Aid guy busting through the wall and brandishing assault weapons.
I don't know if this makes me a non-American, but I could probably count the number of times I've actually drank Kool-Aid on two hands.

My mom thought Kool-Aid was of the devil.

And I don't regret the lack of it in my childhood, because I know a family of four boys whose mother let them drink the stuff all the time. I felt really sorry for the mother.

Post by **Green Gibbon!** » Tue Nov 16, 2004 5:36 pm

But next to water, Kool-Aid is the cheapest thing you can drink. And it's sooo good if you mix it properly.

Hey, so did mine!

Also, the Smurfs, the Nickelodeon chanel, The Simpsons, comic books, owning more than one videogame system, soda, and the next door neighbors everywhere we've lived.

My mom's a little crazy.

Mine was like that, too. She didn't seem to have any qualms with Kool-Aid, though.
