Was there Kool-Aid in The Great Deprssion?

Yes, Kool-Aid was invented and introduced during The Great Depression. It was first created in 1927 by Edwin Perkins, a salesman from Hastings, Nebraska. Perkins originally called his product "Fruit Smack" and sold it as a liquid concentrate that was mixed with water. In 1929, Perkins changed the name to "Kool-Aid" and began to market it as a powder that was easier to ship and store.

Kool-Aid became a popular and affordable treat during The Great Depression, as it provided a way for families to enjoy a sweet drink without having to spend much money. It was often sold door-to-door or at grocery stores, and was a staple in many American households during this time.
