No need; I believe you about them being different products. But Kool Aid is a generic term for powered sweet drink mix. People just say “Kool Aid” when they mean powdered sugar drink.
Edit: oh, and I can totally believe Kool Aid itself would be really concerned about it, but honestly I doubt most people have any thought up whether it was Kool Aid™ brand flavored drink, is all.
I couldn’t find it which is too bad because it was an interesting op/ed piece from what I remember by some exec who worked for Kraft at the time on the Kool Aid product and how they panicked and freaked out, especially since the day of the mass suicide it was Flavor-aid.
I also so some sources, when I was looking, that said Kool aid was present on the compound and had been used in earlier tests by Jones so that added to the confusion.
Interesting! I usually remember that Jonestown wasn’t in the US, but events like that aren’t really my bag, so anything I know about it I picked up incidentally. Now I know a couple more things; thanks!
