That's interesting. I doubt that there are any negative racial overtones to it, though Kool-Aid and fried chicken (among other things) are sometimes ascribed to certain demographics.
And I certainly didn't mean to cast any aspersions.
I just thought that it was a great ploy by the restaurant to sell something that is so so so cheap to prepare. The profit margin on a glass of Kool Aid would be off the charts -- probably 98 percent.
9. We used to serve powdered lemonade and powdered apple drink at a restaurant where I worked.

Course it was on top of a mountain in Lake Louise and it was glacier water that we mixed with it. We had no choice. No way to lug pop up the mountain (we used pack horses as there was no road) and people were thirsty when they got to the top of the trail. Sure we had 30 kinds of tea but some people just wanted something cold. So drink crystals it was. And you know what? People loved it. I used to say that the assholes got weeded out by mile one of the hike and the only customers who make it to the tea house were great eggs.
visiting her parent's home in rural NC with a girlfriend in college, I saw a few. All really small (like the restaurant probably doubled as someone's home kitchen and the rest of the house was on the other-side from the dining-room real-small) BBQ joints...always red "koolaid" or "bug-juice". Median price was about $0.50, free-refills.
