Flavor Aid is a non-carbonated soft drink beverage made by Jel Sert in West Chicago, Illinois, introduced in 1929. It is sold throughout the United States as an unsweetened powdered concentrate drink mix, similar to Kool-Aid drink mix.
Flavor Aid comes in cherry, raspberry, grape, berry punch, tropical punch, orange, lemonade, lemon-lime, strawberry and kiwi-watermelon.
Flavor Aid has also introduced several flavors that catered to the Hispanic population with bilingual packaging and various exotic flavors.[1] The Hispanic versions do not include cherry or berry punch, and have instead root beer, mango, apple, Jamaica, tamarindo, tangerine, and pineapple-orange.
The Jonestown Massacre, which inspired the phrase to "drink the kool-aid", was actually perpetrated with Flavor Aid.
