Drinking the Kool Aid, I had no idea

[Tomhusker]

No wonder:

Nebraska, you gave the world the sugary refreshment of Kool-Aid.

Cornhusker Edwin E. Perkins invented Kool-Aid in 1927. Due to the immense love of the drink, a Kool-Aid Days Festival is now held in his hometown of Hastings. The Nebraska government named Kool-Aid the state's official "soft drink" in 1998.

Yup, it's like night and day comparing the two. I don't even go there anymore. Casey's pizza is good enough for me, unless I am in Omaha and can get some Big Fred's.
