What is the timeline of kool-aid?

Kool-Aid was invented in 1927 by Edwin Perkins in Hastings, Nebraska, originally called "Fruit Smack." The powdered drink mix was rebranded as Kool-Aid in 1931. It gained widespread popularity during the Great Depression due to its affordability and ease of preparation. In 1953, Kool-Aid became a part of the General Foods Corporation, and its iconic mascot, the Kool-Aid Man, was introduced in the 1970s, further solidifying its place in American culture.
