The Kool aid man would want to clarify this. I'm sure being known as "the drink cultists used to commit suicide" isn't the best PR.

If you're going to kill yourself, would you want to do so with a less-flavorful beverage? Death cultists are people too!

Well, until they're corpses anyway...

That's true, they could spin it as a positive.

"If you were going to have one last drink before you died, what would it be? Jonestown chose Kool Aid! What a great choice. Nothing beats sweet, tangy refreshment right before embracing oblivion."

Most drinks are deadly if you add cyanide to them.

Why buy the cheap knockoff? What do you need to save money for?

frog@feddit.uk · 5 pts · 2d

To give money to Russian. True story.

I feel like this is literally a Kool Aid ad

TheTechnician27@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 1d

I don't know what you're talking about. !comicstrips@lemmy.world is not, has never been, and will never be sponsored by Kool-Aid or Kraft Heinz generally. I'm not getting paid to say this right now. I'm not writing this in a swimming pool full of Kool-Aid. If this swimming pool were full of Tropical Punch Kool-Aid, though, it would be a good source of Vitamin C with 35% LESS SUGAR than leading regular sodas.

It did kill the dream of Martin Scorsese so it still is to blame!

This feels way too much like an ai slop joke too
