hey kool-aid

I've always wondered where Kool-Aid came from. Not the invention of the Kool-Aid powder. Everyone knows that Edwin Perkins derived the idea of Kool-Ade - the original, outlawed spelling in 1927, from Jell-O. But I wondered where the physical location of where Kool-Aid, the man, was born. This year, the agony of not knowing has finally ended. He was born in an expectedly, sterile environment in Hastings, Nebraska. While the building was a little lack-luster, the sugary, sweet bits of knowledge are safely set aside for eccentric party trivia. Now, if I could only figure out where Cap'n Crunch hailed from. So begins my quest to track down mom's worst enemy: sucrose-loving characters.
