To choose dogma and faith over doubt and experience is to throw out the ripening vintage and to reach greedily for the Kool-Aid. — Christopher Hitchens Edwin Perkins (1889-1961) was head of a manufacturing company in the 1920's called Perkins Products. He sold over one hundred items—creams, medicines, salves, and food flavoring. Fruit Smack was the most popular product in the Perkins line, but handling and shipping the glass bottles caused problems. By 1927, Perkins had developed a method of removing the liquid from Fruit Smack so the remaining powder could be packaged in envelopes, named Kool-Ade (later Kool-Aid). The new product came in six flavors: grape, lemon-lime, cherry, orange, raspberry, and strawberry. Kool-Aid began to be distributed to stores all over the country. During the Depression, it was still a luxury most could afford. General Foods purchased Kool-Aid in 1953 who introduced the popular Smiling Face Pitcher. The company is now owned by Kraft Holdings, which markets it with flavors ranging far beyond the original six.
