https://www.koolaid.com/ https://www.koolaid.com/ shows children's products that is a fun mixture of many items. There are also links that share recipes using these terms like https://www.food.com/recipe/absolutely-perfect-kool-aid-33387 https://www.food.com/recipe/absolutely-perfect-kool-aid-3338...
Also as History would have it, this was first coined perhaps in Nebraska, for commercial purpose as put in the article https://history.nebraska.gov/publications/kool-aid https://history.nebraska.gov/publications/kool-aid.
I think there are many such terms in English that has polar opposite meanings/cannotations/usages. "Swasthik" is supposedly a very pious symbol for the Hindus. Incidentally, the Nazis used a similar or closely resembling symbol but had never called it Swastik/Swastika. And yet the cunning colonial British popularized that as Swastik and the world continues to refer to it so instead of calling it merely Nazi symbol.
- rudiv 6y agoSorry, you think the (colonial) British spread the usage of the term 'Swastika' to defame Hindu culture? You are aware that the Nazis started using the swastika as part of their occultist ideology after 150 years of British colonialism in the Indian subcontinent? Just take the L for misusing an American idiom. There's nothing wrong with not knowing the precise meaning of particular idioms in a language that is not your own. 'Drinking the Kool-Aid' is not relevant to our cultural context and using it incorrectly is hardly relevant to the content of your article. Trying to draw spurious comparisons with foreign interpretations of Sanskrit words is not really relevant.
