    That museum is so kool 😉 When I was a kid, my grandma had this huge glass jar and it was known as “the Kool Aid” jar. Whenever me and my cousins were at grandma’s house, we knew there would be a pitcher of grape Kool Aid in the fridge. I’ll never forget the look on everyone’s face when one of cousins knocked over the empty jar and it broke. We all stood around staring at the wreckage as if the Hope Diamond had shattered. 😂

    Thanks for making this video. This brought back a lot of memories. I grew up in Hastings and had many Kool-Aid stands with my friends during the summers. My mom made popsicles with Kool-Aid which were a big treat in the summer, and I still have the molds she used to make them. Hope you got to check out more of Hastings. It's not big but it was a great place to grow up in.

    What fun, Jordan and Katie! It brought wonderful memories of summer in the 1950s! My sisters, our cocker spaniel Mandy and a pitcher of cherry or raspberry Kool-aid! The pitcher was like the "holy grail" at our house! We took turns drawing the face and smile on it! Nebraska is an awesome state and good people! Thank you, Jordan and Katie! Had no idea the background on Kool-aid! Well done!

    Hi Jordan and Katie. Oh Yeah, kool aid, was a large part of my childhood. All kinds. I loved the red and grape. But drinked what ever was cool in the fridge. Loved those commercials. Some I never heard of. That Museum is cool, look like a neat place to visit. Haven't had Kool aid in years. Then there was Wyler's. Who competed with Kool aid. Guess I missed a lot of flavors and products. Was amazed to see all the flavors, and products they had . I say I was either born to early or too late.😁. But enjoyed what I had. I drinked so much, I started getting headaches. Had to slow down. Would make a pitcher before school, so it would be nice and cold when I got home. Fixed a sandwhich, had a glass of Kool Aid. That satisfied me till my mom fixed dinner. My twin and other siblings would argue about what flavor we wanted. Of course we all wanted a different flavor, usually the older siblings had thier way.🤦‍♀️. But that Museum is great. You showed a lot, we never knew. Thank you and Katie for taking us along, Oh Yeah, that museum has some great stuff. Worth going if you can. Jordan you keep taking us to the coolest places. My bucket list keep getting longer.😁. You Guys take care. Love,respect and positivity always. Neita.✌🕯💕🖖🌻🦋🙏🙂👋👣.

    Kool-Aid Kool-Aid tastes great, Kool-Aid Kool-Aid can’t wait! I had that first see threw pitcher and they had matching mugs, you sent off Kool-Aid envelopes to purchase them and of course cash to cover postage those were the days, I bet my sister still has them. When we were kids we would bring some to the men that worked in the neighborhood 😎🐾

    I spent A LOT OF TIME making Kool-Aid when my kids were young! The kitchen table and chairs are from the same time period … and the other is what I believe was called a Step Stool … I have my Grandparents one in gray!

    I think I saved every empty package of Kool-Aid, for 20 years so I could get my kids the Kool-Aid pitcher & cups. I never turned them in. When I moved, I ended up giving them to a little neighbor boy. I've always regretted that.
    Very interesting vlog, enjoyed it very much! A Kool-Aid commercial always says "summertime" to me!!! ☀️

    I was 16 years old when the Kool-Aid man crashed through the brick wall. It was a great commercial back there. Now, when I see a brick wall I am always looking for the Kool-Aid guy to crash through. Well, not really...LOL. When I saw the presweetened packages with Bugs Bunny on them the first thing I think of is Cyclamates. The sweetener killed rats during experiments because scientists made them drink an equivalent of five gallons a day for 5 years. How would you feel after that?
