The Top Ten Brands That Remind Us of Our Childhood

Hastings, Nebraska just installed a six-foot statue of the KOOL-AID MAN.  A guy from Hastings named Edwin Perkins came up with Kool-Aid in 1927 after messing around in his mom’s kitchen.

If you happen to be swinging through southeast Nebraska anytime soon, it’s outside the Hastings Museum of Natural & Cultural History.  (Here’s a photo.)
