Hastings, Nebraska urges visitors to drink the Kool-Aid

Today begins the weekend celebration known as Kool-Aid Days in Hastings, Nebraska. Hastings is where powdered fruit drink was first made by Edwin Perkins, an entrepreneur/inventor.

In fact, Edwin Perkins' first fruit beverage was a bottled drink called Fruit Smack. Because of the high cost and breakage issues associated with shipping bottles, Perkins developed a way to remove the liquid from his fruit drinks, leaving just the powder. The rest is history. Read more about it at the Hastings Museum.

I also think his head came from a different photo than the rest of him.
