Kool-Aid

Kool-Ade is a beverage made by adding water to a commercially sold colored powder.

To "drink kool-ade" has developed two meanings in the popular lexicon. One meaning refers to the fact that before LSD became illegal, garbage can-sized containers were filled with the drink, spiked with the drug and given away free to those who attended rock concerts at the Filmore West. Another meaning refers to the blind faith of the religious in reference to the sucide of around 900 people who drank kool-ade spiked with cyanide at the behest of cult leader Jim Jones. Thus, according to both meanings, to drink kool-ade is to abandon reality and trip out into a surreal zone where nothing is real but your thoughts.
