Lastly, it should be noted that the favorite flavor of Kool-Aid of
inventor, Edwin Perkins, was Raspberry (now discontinued). This is
according to his great nephew, Stephen Spady (sspady@microsoft.com).
Poll in 1987: Donovan (donovan@misslink.net)
This poll gave no choices and allowed a free form to fill out their
responses. It was the last question in the poll. The question was
given to 16 males and 29 females from the ages of 13 to 48. There were
5 people that did not respond to this question. The poll was posted
in a poetry site and you can see the results here:
http://www.geocities.com/Paris/LeftBank/6558/respons1.html#top
The question was: "What is or was your favorite flavor of Kool-Aid:"
And.....the results were as follows:
10 Cherry
7 Tropical Punch
3 Grape
2 Black Cherry
2 Kickin' Kiwi-Lime
2 Lime
2 Orange
2 Purplesaurus Rex
2 Strawberry
2 Strawberry-Kiwi
1 Great Bluedini
1 Lemon-Lime
1 Mountain Berry Punch
1 Pineapple
