That museum is so kool 😉 When I was a kid, my grandma had this huge glass jar and it was known as “the Kool Aid” jar. Whenever me and my cousins were at grandma’s house, we knew there would be a pitcher of grape Kool Aid in the fridge. I’ll never forget the look on everyone’s face when one of cousins knocked over the empty jar and it broke. We all stood around staring at the wreckage as if the Hope Diamond had shattered. 😂

[@armenian_nightmare33]

@TheMocaco 😂😂😂 THAT IS HILARIOUS!! "OH YEAH!"🍇🍇🍇

[@carolm3055]

Sweet story The Macao! My parents have passed! I have the pitcher my Mom would make the Kool Aid in!!!😍

[@renee8437]

I'm an Orange Kool Aid fan!

[@anneholden9908]

Hey,Kool Aid!❤

[@kaymad143]

i loved getting home from school and having Cherry Kool-Aid! Great memories.

[@cindyhenning7832]

Boy this brings back memories! I like the 70’s costume! The table chairs ETC is from the 50’s. I think they are just taking you back in time

[@dlswear]

Thanks for making this video. This brought back a lot of memories. I grew up in Hastings and had many Kool-Aid stands with my friends during the summers. My mom made popsicles with Kool-Aid which were a big treat in the summer, and I still have the molds she used to make them. Hope you got to check out more of Hastings. It's not big but it was a great place to grow up in.

[@donnastedham9822]

This was so neat. Kool Aid was a childhood staple. Thanks Jordan and Katie.

[@eddunaway5371]

[@gaylewilson5076]

We had Kool Aid in the kitchen cupboards growing up in Australia, great for our hot summers.. Great video thanks guys 🇦🇺😊

[@melodyhill9621]

My town! Glad you stopped!

[@FlyingSnoopy]

I grew up drinking Kool-Aid, it was the best inexpensive refreshing drinks anyone could have. It was a great after school drink. I learned a lot today. Thank you Jordan and Katy.

[@teslagrey5148]

[@cynthiamincher5154]

[@PaulLoughrin]

Wowsa! Awesome vlog, Mr. Jordan! I'm 57, and grew up in the 70's!

[@karentarr8930]

Kool-Aid Kool-Aid tastes great, Kool-Aid Kool-Aid can’t wait! I had that first see threw pitcher and they had matching mugs, you sent off Kool-Aid envelopes to purchase them and of course cash to cover postage those were the days, I bet my sister still has them. When we were kids we would bring some to the men that worked in the neighborhood 😎🐾

[@conniefeltman4561]

I spent A LOT OF TIME making Kool-Aid when my kids were young! The kitchen table and chairs are from the same time period … and the other is what I believe was called a Step Stool … I have my Grandparents one in gray! Loved the tour! 🌈🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@donnaschmink1801]

What fun, Jordan and Katie! It brought wonderful memories of summer in the 1950s! My sisters, our cocker spaniel Mandy and a pitcher of cherry or raspberry Kool-aid! The pitcher was like the "holy grail" at our house! We took turns drawing the face and smile on it! Nebraska is an awesome state and good people! Thank you, Jordan and Katie! Had no idea the background on Kool-aid! Well done!

[@sg2823]

Those old days growing up watching that big Kool-aid guy crash through the wall OOO YEAH!

[@cooperbeahm3377]

I was born in Hastings, Nebraska still live here. My dad actually worked on the dragon wagon back in high school.

[@johnpeddicord4932]

[@angelalinderman9985]

Kool-Aid museum 👍 Who knew!!? How did i miss Raspberry flavor? That would've been my favorite! Bring it back and the bubble gum also 👍💖💕😁

[@outsider238]

I remember the Kool -Aid man that was on the left. I always noticed that little window at the top of the costume for the person inside to be able to see out of it.

[@debbieblaylock9997]

That place is awesome

[@byronmorrow9103]

Great Video!! I drove that Orange Pinto Wagon, It was Hastings High School's auto shop drag car. Those were fun times.

[@moramaylocklin4544]

[@anneholden9908]

I remember the 1975 Kool-aid, I don't remember the 1990 one! What fun! Thanks again, Jordan ❤

[@neitajames6029]

Hi Jordan and Katie. Oh Yeah, kool aid, was a large part of my childhood. All kinds. I loved the red and grape. But drinked what ever was cool in the fridge. Loved those commercials. Some I never heard of. That Museum is cool, look like a neat place to visit. Haven't had Kool aid in years. Then there was Wyler's. Who competed with Kool aid. Guess I missed a lot of flavors and products. Was amazed to see all the flavors, and products they had . I say I was either born to early or too late.😁. But enjoyed what I had. I drinked so much, I started getting headaches. Had to slow down. Would make a pitcher before school, so it would be nice and cold when I got home. Fixed a sandwhich, had a glass of Kool Aid. That satisfied me till my mom fixed dinner. My twin and other siblings would argue about what flavor we wanted. Of course we all wanted a different flavor, usually the older siblings had thier way.🤦‍♀️. But that Museum is great. You showed a lot, we never knew. Thank you and Katie for taking us along, Oh Yeah, that museum has some great stuff. Worth going if you can. Jordan you keep taking us to the coolest places. My bucket list keep getting longer.😁. You Guys take care. Love,respect and positivity always. Neita.✌🕯💕🖖🌻🦋🙏🙂👋👣.

[@HollyAHill-lm9ki]

My husband's favorite flavor was Blue Houdini (blue tinted rasberry). He made me search everywhere to find some....now Walmart carrie's a generic and I tell him it's Blue Houdini and he's thrilled. Since he had a stroke he's easy to fool. ❤❤❤

[@1SeanBond]

Much appreciated Jordan, as a kid we all enjoyed kool aid in the summer. But I had no idea how it came to be. Ty for showing us all about it! A Fantastic vlog. Cheers 😉🤝🏼✌🏼

[@maryjaneblahnik5767]

Oh yeeeaaaa love Kool-aid. TFS the history and museum.

[@GuyBissonnette-r1g]

That scene with the table and chairs was probably a home kitchen table scene.

[@vickiebell4186]

[@joangravel2436]

[@syreetaabney6968]

Jordan this video brought back some childhood memories and this was so fun and exciting to see, I never new they had a museum and yes I grew up with the Kool Aid Picture and cups.

[@mariaday712]

This was Kool. I didn't know there was so much history on Kool Aid. I'm like you Jordan. I grew up drinking it. Did they have a gift shop? Thank you and Katy for checking the place out for us. You both take care.

[@ginadoughty6950]

Enjoy Nebraska! Born and raised!! Randy Meisner just passed away and we are both from the same home town of Scottsbluff. He was in the band the Eagles

[@frankieknows1]

I can’t understand how they missed out on a Macho Man vs Kool-Aid Man “OH YEAAAAH!!” advertisement. That would’ve been gold!

[@catherine6653]

I remember the Kool Aid commercials on Saturday morning cartoons in the 70s.

[@cristinweekley2547]

So cool, takes me back to my childhood!👍 I remember cutting out the upc barcode symbol on the back of the package and saving them to get the toys they had, that when you saved enough to get a toy and sent the postage. I saved for the T shirt! Thanks!😊

[@zerxilk8169]

Loved that very much thank you.

[@RamblingVlogger]

Definitely enjoyed this video! Kool-aid is an American staple! What a fun adventure.

[@carolgillis5265]

Thanks Jordan and Katie

[@carolm3055]

Fun to know where it all started! I grew up drinking Kool Aid!! Many fun memories of my childhood! ❤

[@jaypett357]

Such a sweet loving couple! Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness ❤

[@bigrudd9346]

Definitely part of my childhood. Well done sir!

[@wendyobrien2843]

This was great. I loved Kool Aid growing up. Hands down the 1975 costume was so much cooler than the 1990's version which was a wrinkled mess. Lol. Fun to see the history of this iconic product. Brings back a lot of memories. 💖

[@maryellenshock]

Cool aid was a treat, Mom was Big on juice (the real stuff) . My best friends family had cool aid at every meal, I ate a lot of meals there and got my cool aid fix at the same time!

[@PageCreations]

I had that Kool-Aid Snow Cone Maker when I was a kid. It like a snowman with a shovel to get the the Kool-Aid flavored ice out. :)

[@maryellenshock]

OMG! I have totally forgot about those - spent minute playing with that!!

[@taylorcrook7202]

I used to watch you two all the time back when I was in high school and this video popped up on my KZbin. I'm from Nebraska and to see that you guys made the trip to stop by is so cool! So glad you enjoyed the Kool-Aid section, if you get the chance to check out the rest of the museum out, you definitely should!

[@rhondadaum8657]

Oh yeah! 😊

[@ellennewth6305]

For so many of us Kool-Aid was a childhood staple. Thanks for sharing this nostalgic museum with us, Jordan and lKatie. I remember the Monkees Kool-Aid commercial with fondness.

[@joydarling314]

I found out recently that there is a Spam Museum. I used to drink koolaid when I was young. Thanks for the video didn't know about this place.

[@happyface4713]

Katie so nice to see you with Jordan on his travels taking us to places we will never see

[@larrydirks285]

I wish I would have known you were going to be in my hometown of Hastings Nebraska. I live just a few blocks from the museum and could have shown you two some of the others interesting sites in central Nebraska.

[@brianhumphrey6791]

Great Video Jordan! Loved It!

[@islesofshoals3551]

Don't remember root beer Kool Aid. I feel jipped! 😆😆

[@JudiKerestan]

You and Katie are so perfect together! Kool aid is great I grew up on it!

[@karenleemallonee684]

I think I saved every empty package of Kool-Aid, for 20 years so I could get my kids the Kool-Aid pitcher & cups. I never turned them in. When I moved, I ended up giving them to a little neighbor boy. I've always regretted that. Very interesting vlog, enjoyed it very much! A Kool-Aid commercial always says "summertime" to me!!! ☀️

[@paulineveloza4945]

Hello! I have been watching you since Notre Dame was on fire, and you had just over 30,000 followers! I am so happy for you!! Kool-Aid had a root beer, and my husband loved it!! We have been married for 50 years!! We have a red kool-aid pitcher with glasses that we got for free from wrappers! Loved this!!

[@cjbrewer7]

I lived in Hasting for 5 yrs, Never new. I have been in the museum many time and they never has this exhibition. looking at the out side you showed it looks like they have extended the museum.

[@jon8223]

The exhibit is in the basement and has been there as long as I remember.

[@sharonsiegrist7183]

Thanks Jordan and Katie I had no idea about all of this. I've been drinking kool Aid all my life and even sold it for 5 cents a cup!

[@maryellenshock]

Lol

[@katy9424]

How did the commercial go again? "I'm hot", "I'm thirsty"... grape is my favorite!!!

[@mgarringerkcify]

Grew up Husker in the area from Hastings ! Welcome to Nebraska. Grand Island and Minden have wonderful museums. Stuhr and Pioneer village. Its flat. I know. Omaha and Lincoln have hills. On ice. Its fun here. Safe travels!

[@johnishmiel3981]

Welcome to Nebraska!

[@CatDeMeow]

That museum was EPIC!!! thank you for sharing :)

[@michaelcoffey7362]

Nice 🥰

[@Goodmanbrad]

Thank you for visiting my home state of Nebraska! Come on back and explore the sites associated with Johnny Carson, Henry Fonda, Joyce C. Hall, Fred Astaire and Marlon Brando to name a few!

[@robdajuiceman1328]

I grew up in that town

[@ronaldhall2489]

That was what a kitchen and kitchen table looked like in the 50s and 60s

[@DodgerFanAD_23]

I remember drinking out of the old Kool-aid cups as a kid whenever I was at my grandparents house. 😌

[@spokanetomcat1]

I was 16 years old when the Kool-Aid man crashed through the brick wall. It was a great commercial back there. Now, when I see a brick wall I am always looking for the Kool-Aid guy to crash through. Well, not really...LOL. When I saw the presweetened packages with Bugs Bunny on them the first thing I think of is Cyclamates. The sweetener killed rats during experiments because scientists made them drink an equivalent of five gallons a day for 5 years. How would you feel after that?

[@oldermusiclover]

interesting that they have a Kool-Aid has a museum I have I think I still have it an old Kool-Aid pitcher

[@MatthewTurner-fn3mv]

I think I will pick up some Kool Aid tommorow haven’t had a glass in 40 yrs lol

[@nanotoj]

Oh Yeah!

[@davidjohnson7850]

I remember there was Root Beer Kool Aid. That was so good.

[@JasonHalversonjaydog]

used to love kiil aid as a kid, loved all the flavors like cherry and grape. now i never drink it anymore. i prefer sugar free lemonade like crystal lite

[@MoviemaniaNick]

Kool Museum! lol

[@jeanhansel5805]

In the 1950's, my mother made her version of popsicles using Kool-Aid by freezing Kool-Aid in ice cube trays (the metal trays popular at the time). They were good but could not hold a candle to the popular brand of store bought popsicles; banana and chocolate were my favorite flavors.

[@stevejones6247]

I'm from Nebraska

[@winetimesports8477]

Great stuff guys!! Please tell me you guys are gonna go visit Clear Lake Iowa on this road trip!! I love your vlogs from there

[@karenwoodward7291]

I have one of the pitchers and a mug. That group of pitchers you showed the one in the corner far left is what I have.

[@renee8437]

Started drinking kool Aid as a kid in the late 60s. Drinking Kool Aid as I watch this video. I'm now 58 and there's nothing like a glass of Kool Aid. Period!

[@davidcreager1945]

Why did Kool Aid stop making the Green Kool Aid ???

[@thebangkokconnection4080]

Kool Aid has put many dentists kids through college. Whats not to like about artificial flavors and sugar. Liquid candy.

[@Msubulldogs09]

You guys are so cute together

[@marywright6759]
