[edit] Origin of "to drink the kool-aid"
I'm requesting a source that can authoritatively track "drinking the kool-aid" to the Merry Pranksters--or, indeed, to any date earlier than the mid-1980s. This sounds pretty dubious, but I'm happy to be proved wrong. Making similar edit to Kool-Aid. --Craigkbryant 20:50, 31 October 2006 (UTC) Having waited a week, I am removing this assertion from the article. I have made a similar change to Kool-Aid, and added a reference to that article giving the Jonestown version of the origin.--Craigkbryant 14:16, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
