My mom would make Koolaid with half the sugar called for. She didn’t tell us that until we were grown. That woman let me walk around in my formative years thinking everyone else had bunk ass Koolaid when really it was our family the whole time. My brother drank Koolaid til the day he died (twas not the Koolaid that took him lol) and he refused to make it with the full amount of sugar because it was what he was used to.
