i find it terribly overrated now that i am a bit older. flavor is solid but generally too sugary, but then again its all bout how much sugar you put in. nowadays, i generally prefer water or iced tea. and vitamin water kicks the crap out of kool aid. less sugar and it actually has some redeeming nutritional value.

What are your thoughts on Kool-aid?

I didn't realize you were supposed to put that much sugar in the stuff. I grew up very poor, and my parents never put sugar in the Kool-Aid... I thought that's how it was supposed to be.
Until my (now ex-) wife asked me to make Kool-Aid for my daughter, and I did like I always had - just pour the packet into a cleaned-out milk jug and shake. She says, "what are you doing?" I reply in a sarcastic voice (like she's the dummy) "making Kool-Aid, what's it look like?"
Then she pulls out the 1lb sugar bag, and starts scooping sugar out to put in the Kool-Aid. I gotta say, I hate feeling like I have to chew my drink through the sugar.

I used to drink it a lot as a kid. I remember they had this points system where you could send away for free kool aid swag. I got a watch that didn't work in the mail. Jerks.
It also looks really cool when you throw handfulls of the stuff on a campfire.
