        They drank Flavor Aid at Jonestown. Kool Aid just got all the bad? good? PR because it was misidentified by investigators and witnesses in testimony.

          Regional branding. This is the Q-Tip issue: it didn’t matter which company makes the product, the term has fallen into common usage to refer to a generic thing, in this case, powdered flavored sugar that you reconstitute in water. Or the beverage of your choice.

          That’s an interesting fact that I didn’t know, though.

            It’s not regional branding or genericide which is the term for what your talking about where a brand name becomes the generic usage for a product in place of the generic name (i.e. Kleenex instead of facial tissue, Velcro instead of hook and loop etc.)

            Flavor Aid and Kool Aid are two distinctly branded products made by two different companies. When I have more time I’ll see if I can dig up the interesting write up I read about this from the Kool Aid company perspective at the time and post it in an edit.

              No need; I believe you about them being different products. But Kool Aid is a generic term for powered sweet drink mix. People just say “Kool Aid” when they mean powdered sugar drink.

              Edit: oh, and I can totally believe Kool Aid itself would be really concerned about it, but honestly I doubt most people have any thought up whether it was Kool Aid™ brand flavored drink, is all.

                I couldn’t find it which is too bad because it was an interesting op/ed piece from what I remember by some exec who worked for Kraft at the time on the Kool Aid product and how they panicked and freaked out, especially since the day of the mass suicide it was Flavor-aid.

                I also so some sources, when I was looking, that said Kool aid was present on the compound and had been used in earlier tests by Jones so that added to the confusion.

    Every single time I listen to these meetings as they all jerk off their Dear Leader I can’t help but cringe. Like when he has a speech and they need to give a standing ovation every 15 seconds for saying literally anything. It’s so forced and fake that you can clearly tell that some those on board are sick of the act. Half of them look dead on the inside when it’s not their turn to speak and they are so over the top with addressing him it’s obvious they are terrified of stepping out of line.

    And if I had a chance to ask them anything I’d ask if the power and privilege they get by selling their soul really worth being so terrified that you can’t even speak your own thoughts anymore? Is putting yourself in a state of perpetual self censorship for fear of committing a thought crime and to lose what makes you a human anymore really worth it?

    This is great news, with an enormous silver lining.

    At some point, we will have to take our nation back from the MAGA Nazis, and it will probably be extremely ugly, and probably very violent. The people in this room are the people who will be directing the defense of MAGA, and they clearly cowardly, craven, loyalist servants of HitlerPig. He will will be the person who will be directing the defense personally, and we are all extremely familiar with his virtuosic incompetence.

    OTOH, these people replaced knowledgable, experienced, intelligent, and COMPETENT public servants, who took great pride in the directing the American goverment on behalf of the American people. These people had top security clearances, and know exactly how deep in Putin’s pocket the MAGA Nazis are, even if we only know the surface details. They know better than anyone, how treasonous and corrupt HitlerPig is.

    Since their removal, we have heard almost nothing from any of them. Are all those true patriotic American leaders just relaxing on chaise longes on their lanais, sipping drinks and watching the sunset before watching Wheel of Fortune, as the MAGA Nazis destroy the nation that these people took an oath to protect?

    Or are they all in contact with each other, discussing strategies to take back the country, and secure the nuclear arsenal? That would explain the near universal silence from all of them.

    If HitlerPig tries to declare Martial Law and suspend elections, I suspect we will start to see some real response from these people. If it comes down to a Civil War between our leaders and their leaders, my money is on our side.
