Jonestown was being run on a shoestring budget. One of the ways in which they accomplished this is that they never purchased "brand name" products when lower budget ones were available. So while the phrase "drink the kool-aid" has become enshrined in our vernacular, they did no such thing, it was "flavor aid".

Among the things our culture picks up and runs with that are not quite factually right.
