Flavor Aid
Flavor Aid is a non-carbonated soft drink beverage made by Jel Sert, introduced in 1929. It is sold throughout the United States as a sweetened powdered concentrate drink mix, similar to Kool-Aid drink mix.

Flavors

Flavor Aid comes in the following flavors: Cherry, Raspberry, Grape, Berry Punch, Tropical Punch, Orange, Lemonade, Lemon-Lime, Strawberry and Kiwi-Watermelon.

Flavor Aid has also introduced several flavors that catered to the Hispanic population with bilingual packaging and various exotic flavors The Hispanic versions do not include Cherry or Berry Punch, and have instead Root Beer, Mango, Apple, Jamaica, Tamarindo, Tangerine, and Pineapple-Orange.

Jonestown suicide

Around 914 followers of Jim Jones committed suicide or were murdered by drinking or allegedly being forced to drink cyanide-laced grape Flavor Aid in 1978. Erroneous references to the mass suicide, in combination with existing references to The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test of the Merry Pranksters, gave rise to the saying "Don't drink the Kool-Aid" as a reference to those who blindly follow an authority even if it leads to serious harm or death. A camera from inside the compound shows a large chest being opened showing boxes of both drinks. There is also testimony from criminal investigators at the Jonestown inquest stating that there were "cool aid" (sic) packets there. It is unknown whether these are a reference to the Kool-aid brand packets from the trunk, or simply a generic use of the more popular brand for the product.
