(35,136 posts)Flavor-aid:
The drink became inextricably linked to the Jonestown Massacre when it was learned that the cyanide poison taken by or forcibly administered to the commune's members was placed in Flavor-Aid. Large barrels filled with the grape variety, laced with the cyanide and a variety of tranquilizer drugs, were found half-consumed amidst the hundreds of bodies. For an unknown reason, Kool-Aid rather than Flavor-Aid is almost always mentioned in connection with the Massacre, this factual error even spawning catchphrases (e.g. 'Don't drink the Kool-Aid' being a slang admonition not to trust charismatic people). Film of Jonestown many months before the Massacre show stocks of both Flavor-Aid and its leading competitor within the commune's storehouses, so it is quite possible that both drinks were used as carriers for the poison.

(23,730 posts)the use of nothing but superlatives, the invoking of 9-11 to justify crimes unthinkable even in the 80s, the vicious smears against anyone who doesn't go along with the 180° turns!
