Somewhere around 40 years ago my mother was a representative for a food company and I got to wear the Kool-Aid suit at a marketing event on a hot summer day in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Thankfully it had an internal cooling system and two fan assisted vents.

I was 9 and my brother was 6. I made 2 pitchers of Kool-Aid and accidentally put the 2 different flavors in the same pitcher. I panicked because I knew Mom would be upset that I wasted 2 packets, so he gallantly chugged the entire pitcher of grape-orange Kool-Aid. And promptly threw up. That right there is why he's my favorite brother. 😂

We rarely had soft drinks when I was a kid in the 70s. We had Kool-Aid instead as it was much cheaper. My friends and I drank so much that I think our blood type was Kool-Aid during the summer. It's funny how much I loved it as a child but I haven't had any since circa 1980. I wonder if it tastes like nostalgia.
