The Kool-Aid Man

Our biggest gripe with Kool-Aid Man: Why did he have to cause such a mess every time he entered the scene? Simply call "Hey! Kool-Aid!" and the big red pitcher of juice would crash through fences, sporting arenas and even fortified castle walls with a hearty "Oh, yeah!" In the commercials, with his rotund-pitcher torso and stumpy red legs, Kool-Aid Man would sprint his way to rejuvenate thirsty kids with his bright red substance, which, let's face it, is mostly sugar. Comedian Dane Cook agrees. He expressed his disdain for the Kool-Aid Man in a 2003 skit, saying: "I don't like it when juice wears tights."
