“I was sitting in my apartment minding my business watching Good Times reruns” said Dubois. “I asked my son to get me some Kool-Aid, then this damn fool comes bursting through my wall. Scared the mess out of me. I said Oh Hell No and I proceeded to beat his ass. He tried to get up but I beat him down some more and held him for the Police. I ain’t got time for no fool tearing up my house.”

The Kool-Aid Man is the official mascot for Kool-Aid, a brand of flavored drink mix. Kool-Aid is basically colored sugar water which is enjoyed by people in the Ghetto. McWiggins began his career as the Kool-Aid mascot in July of 1974.

Hey Kool Aid

McWiggins starred in many print and television commercials. In the TV ads, Children, parched from playing, or other various activities, typically exchanged a few words referring to their thirst. Then they put a hand to the side of their mouths and shouted “Hey, Kool-Aid!”, whereupon Kool-Aid Man made his grand entrance, breaking through walls, fences, ceilings, or furnishings, uttering the famous words “Oh yeah!”. Kool-Aid man then poured the dehydrated youngsters a glass of Kool-Aid.

McWiggins was let go in 1978 after an unfortunate joke about the Jonestown incident. “It was a dark time” said McWiggins. McWiggins is currently being held at the Cook County Jail on $25,000 bail.
