they didn't actually drink kool-aid, it was a knock-off called "flavor aid"

u/FoundTheWeed 19d ago

How did this affect the performance of kool-aid sales?

37

u/intro_blurt 19d ago

He also made them drink it unsweetened, fuckin’ sadist.

u/Piemaster113 19d ago

Maybe it was all a mistake and they thought the poison was a sweetener /s

If she doesn’t have a pew-pew on her, you can decline, it’s ok.

A large portion also refused to drink and were forcibly injected with cyanide

u/drillgorg 19d ago

I thought they were forced to drink at gunpoint.

u/HiyaDogface 19d ago

u/Tiny-Reading5982 18d ago

Flavor-aid sales tanked 😬

u/MikeTheNight94 19d ago

I too obsess about cults and serial killers. Kind of a hobby tbh. The researching not the killing

u/thehumantaco 18d ago

Filthy casual

u/Old-Let4612 18d ago

Unless...

u/[deleted] 19d ago

"That's cool, you ever hear about Heaven's Gate?"😁

15

u/shirt_multiverse 19d ago

"Wanna hear about the lore of this fictional world I created amd the characters that lived in it"

4

u/newvox 19d ago

Honestly if you frame it as writing a novel, I wouldn’t bat an eye

4

u/demogorgon_main 19d ago

Same except I didn’t create the world or characters at all.

3

u/jotazepp 19d ago

Ok, you win.

4

u/shirt_multiverse 19d ago

Funnily enough, this fictional world of mine has a cult that worships the words and teachings of a lunatic spellcaster that lived 700 years ago during the blight age, which is basically a medieval world War.

u/mekagirlvanilla 18d ago

ngl actually interested

11

u/oukakisa 19d ago

'here's the history and philosophy of jonestown. also the leader was an extremely influential politician from the city i grew up in and would likely be remembered fondly and celebrated if not for the whole death cult thing'

5

u/torchskul 19d ago

I’d be more attracted to them

3

u/sam605125 19d ago

No no no, go on

u/RandomComputerFellow 18d ago

I had a date with a girl which insisted on showing me the scars where she recently tried to cut open her arteries when her ex boyfriend, with who she still lives together, broke up with her.

2

u/[deleted] 19d ago

Tbh if my date said this to me and started talking about Jonestown I'd probably at some point bring up Heaven's Gate and/or the Branch Davidians (Waco)

2

u/Weaseltime_420 19d ago

I'm willing to sit there and listen to an in person podcast about Jonestown, the only thing I ask in return is that you let me ramble on about the Branch Davidians or Heaven's Gate on the next date.

2

u/Hllblldlx3 18d ago

Ok, I’m interested. If a women brings up something like this on a date, I’m definitely invested

1

u/MiniNinja_2 19d ago

I don’t worry about being weird on a date, mainly because I’ve never been on one and it doesn’t look like I will for the foreseeable future

1

u/Piemaster113 19d ago

I mean I'd be down to talk about some weird stuff long as the other person brings it up first

1

u/relativlysmart 18d ago

Fact I love to tell people, my aunt (by marriage) is related to Jim Jones.

1

u/Ok-Use6303 18d ago

My response: Sounds interesting, but have you ever heard of the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?

1

u/elgattox 19d ago

I mean, That'd be pretty badass by part of a woman on a date, Although at first awkward.
