This Kool-Aid commercial from 1966 just sends the wrong message...
A few things...
- No wonder Jimmy didn't have any friends - he's a dick! After Bugs Bunny provides him the Kool-Aid that gives him all his friends for some reason, he doesn't even share! Then abandons him for the friends who are clearly just using him for his 'Aid.
- After Jimmy says that no one's around, Bugs's logical solution is to make some Kool Aid. Now, I'm no expert, but I'd think there's a lot on a ten-year-old boy's list of things to do when no one's around that would be ahead of that...and may or may not include undressing your sister's Barbies.
- 0:28 -"Hey Johnny, you know what this picture really needs? Fat kid."
- All these kids just sort of materialize when Jimmy makes the Kool-Aid. One kid comes from a damn tree. A TREE.
- Somehow, the fact that Bugs Bunny is right there isn't as big a deal as the pre-sweetened sugar-water. It was the sixties, that kind of thing was a regularity. But Kool-Aid?! Hell, we gotta sneak into the yard of that kid we hate to get some of that.
I bet a lot of lonely children were duped into buying Kool-Aid in 1966.

Haha. Man, this is genius. Where do you find this stuff?!
Keep up the good work!
I think the parents were duped into buying the kool-aid, and why write the same thing someone else wrote in their blog, get a life, it was only a commercial from the sixties. Jimmy
