Who invented Kool-Aid?

Answer 1

Have you ever tasted your favorite flavor of Kool-Aid® on a hot summer day? It tastes like the best thing in the world. Believe it or not, there was a time when this powdered drink did not exist except in the mind of its inventor.

2 Edwin Perkins was a typical child in Nebraska who liked to mix things together in the kitchen to see how they would taste. He loved to study chemistry and tried to invent things. His father owned a little store in his hometown. This was during the time that Jell-O was first introduced to the public. Edwin really liked the new product.

3 When he was about eleven years old, he sent away in the mail for a book that would show him how to mix things together. He was very interested in how things worked or tasted once two or more products were mixed. When he was a little older, he sent away for a kit that would give him ideas and instruction on becoming a manufacturer, which is someone who makes things with their hands or machines. Perkins developed many different products. When he was 25 years old, he had invented enough products that he set up his own mail order business, called Perkins Products, to sell his household goods to the public.

4 One of the most popular items he sold was a drink syrup called Fruit Smack which he developed in Hendley, Nebraska. He sold it in four-ounce bottles and had six flavors. In 1927, Perkins thought of the idea to sell this fruit drink in concentrated packets for five cents. He had problems with the bottled syrup because sometimes it would leak in the shipping box or the bottles would even break. Making the drink into a powder would cut the cost of shipping dramatically. He called this drink "Kool-Ade," but the name was later changed to "Kool-Aid."

5 In 1931, there were so many people who wanted the Kool-Aid drink that Perkins had to stop selling his other products so he could concentrate on this one. At this time, he moved his production to Chicago, Illinois.

Answer 2

Edwin Perkins

Born in 1889, Edwin Perkins would grow to become the inventor and promoter of Kool-Aid - an affordable and favorite drink of children nationwide.

At age 11, Edwin Perkins was working at his father's store in the village of Hendley, Nebraska when his childhood friend and future wife, Kitty Shoemaker, introduced him to a powder product called Jell-O. He too wanted to make pre-packaged food, sparking his career. This replication of the storefront is the entrance to the Kool-Aid exhibit at the Hastings Museum.
