I was wondering how the people behind this staple beverage were so smart as to spell it with a K. Here's what I found out.
Highlights if you DON'T feel like reading it:
The predecessor to Kool-Aid was "Fruit Smack."
The government changed Ade to Aid after deciding Ade had to contain real fruit juice.
The Kool-Aid Man has a nickname: "The Big Man."
Kool-Aid was dubbed Nebraska's original soft drink.
There is an annual Kool-Aid festival in Hastings.
There were two completely different Kool-Aid video games on Atari and Mattel systems.

Really? It's not Yabba Dabba Dooberry?
Oh yeah, you're right. It' that. I forgot about that one. I have a comic book about Kool-Aid man versus "the thirsties" who are these little electric balls. In the comic, the artists are very consistent about Kool-Aid Man having a jug of Kool-Aid with him at all times. Even when he needs both his hands they draw the jug of Kool-Aid resting on something in the frame. Honestly, it's a little creepy. Also, it turns out the thirsties are really easy to defeat
I don't feel like that portrayal of the thirsties seems accurate.
