Was it really?

Last time I read the Wikipedia article, both Kool-Aid and Flavor-Aid were found on-site during the post-event cleanup.

But also, a lot of people used (and still use) "coolaid" as a generic name for non-carbonate flavored and sweetened water, they aren't meaning the Kool-Aid product line specifically.

No. Cordial is kool-aid.
