A PART OF SUMMER WHEN I WAS A KID
Kool-Aid was invented by Edwin Perkins in Hastings, Nebraska
in his mother’s kitchen. Its predecessor was a liquid concentrate
called Fruit Smack.
To reduce shipping costs, in 1927, Perkins discovered a way to
remove the liquid from Fruit Smack, leaving only a powder; this
powder was named Kool-Aid. Perkins moved his production to
Chicago in 1931 and Kool-Aid was sold to General Foods in 1953.
Hastings still celebrates a yearly summer festival called Kool-Aid
Days on the second weekend in August in honor of their city’s
claim to fame. Kool-Aid is known as Nebraska‘s official soft drink.
