A drink available in a variety of flavors, mixed as a powder with water and sometimes sugar. Anyone growing up struggling financially,
ergo living in

a cheap refreshing drink that comes in the form of a powder in a packet. Comes in many, many flavors. Just add water. Non-carbonated, the drink is promoted on TV by the walking
Kool Aid pitcher. He holds a picture and a cup filled with the drink and says "Ohhhh yeahhh!" as he crashes through a wall. Jim Jones and his
People's Temple cult in the
Jonestown compound in Guyana commited mass suicide by drinking Kool Aid laced with cyanide.
Example:
Mom: Are you thirsty? I got some
grape flavored
Kool Aid.
Kids: Kool Aid! Kool Aid!
Tastes great!
Kool Aid! Kool Aid!
Can't wait!
Kool Aid! Kool Aid!
Tastes great!
Kool Aid! Kool Aid!
Can't wait!
Yaaayyyyy for Kool Aid!

"Kool-Aid" is what one drinks metaphorically, in the context of a political campaign, when faced with an
eminent loss. The term was popularly referenced in the 1993 film, "
The War Room" by George Stephonopolous when he states, "I'm afraid we're all going to have to drink Kool-Aid."
The term references the
Jonestown massacre in 1978 when all of its inhabitants were directed to ingest cyanide-laced Kool-Aid.
Example:
Here's the new poll results, folks. Looks like, with 4 days left in the election, we're down by
17 points. Guess it's time for us to
bust out the
Kool-Aid.
