Surprisingly, the immensely popular Kool-Aid pitcher started out as only a minor player in Kraft's Kool-Aid commercial league. He played second hitter to a pair of twins who ran around the world having adventures while he sat in the fridge singing, "Kool-Aid, Kool-Aid tastes great! Ice-cold Kool-Aid, can't wait!" But he played it cool, and knew his time would come.

Soon after, his image was placed on the front of the Kool-Aid packages, and "Mr. Kool" started starring in his own TV commercials, singing and dancing his way into children's hearts.
