Plus, they supposedly said this about ten years before that awful event in Jonestown.

Do you remember "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test"? by Tom Wolfe [1968]. Is there any chance, drinking the kool aid means dropping acid with everyone else?
"The book chronicles the Acid Tests (parties in which LSD-laced Kool-Aid was used to obtain a communal trip), the group's encounters with (in)famous figures of the time, including famous authors, Hells Angels, and The Grateful Dead, and it also describes Kesey's exile to Mexico and his arrests." That book was very popular.
