Kool-Aid Pitcher, circa 1994
01
Artifact Overview
In the 1920s, Nebraska businessman Edwin Perkins developed a popular soft drink concentrate. The glass bottles he shipped it in were heavy and often leaked or broke, so Perkins reworked his liquid recipe to create a powdered mix that could be packaged in paper envelopes. Kool-Aid quickly became an American favorite. In the 1950s, General Foods Corporation purchased Perkins's company and introduced the iconic Kool-Aid pitcher.
