    Lots of people died via suicide/coerced suicide in a cult compound by drinking fruit punch.

      Jonestown, was a remote settlement in Guyana established by the Peoples Temple, an American religious cult under the leadership of Jim Jones.

      Wasn’t taught in our history as it was done by Americans. Why do you think the country location matters?

    While use of the phrase dates back to 1968 with the nonfiction book The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test,[1] it is strongly associated with the events in Jonestown, Guyana, on November 18, 1978, in which over 900 members of the Peoples Temple movement died. The movement’s leader, Jim Jones, called a mass meeting at the Jonestown pavilion after the murder of U.S. Congressman Leo Ryan and others in nearby Port Kaituma. Jones proposed “revolutionary suicide” by way of ingesting a powdered drink mix made from Flavor Aid, later misidentified as Kool-Aid, that was lethally laced with cyanide and other drugs.[2][3]

      And why would it say the punch line is too long? Is it a fruit punch flavor joke or smt?

      Also: this punch line is quite short, which disproves its own statement (yes, I’m fun at parties).

    If you’ve ever heard the phrase “drinking the Kool-aid” it’s a reference to this incident: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonestown

      It never stops being funny that business dorks and tech bros adopted “drinking the koolaid” as a phrase to mean getting buy in. That and “dogfooding” really tells you a lot about how we think of ourselves, or at least how the executive class wants us to think of ourselves.

  Add someone deeply aware of the subject matter… This is too stupid to be funny. Maybe adding another meme to it will make it dumb enough to be palatable. But right now it’s just really fucking stupid… sorry OP.
