Kool-Aid: The Great American Desert
The history of Kool-Aid
Long, long ago there was a place that nobody wanted to go to. There was no population and nothing there. There was no specific reason no one wanted to go, it was just the name for the place that made it sound inferior. It was called the “Great American Desert”. I meen that is a terrible name, especially back in the olden days. Nobody would want to live in a place where it is always hot and air conditioning was invented. Also, there is supposedly no water. “The Great American Desert” was the old name for Nebraska. I know it is very hard to believe. There was a man by the name of Edwin E. Perkins. He was living a fine life that any indigent person would die for, but he just couldn't find his place. He wanted to invent …show more content…
He thought of a refreshing drink that anyone living at this place would want. They would buy it from him as a powder and dissolve it in water. At the time he had know idea that there was no population there. So without knowing he decided to go the this place called The Great American Desert. He said buy to his wife and told her that he would be back in just a few months with more money and a company. He set off on his journey to “The Great American Desert”. He thought he would just trade for a house and start on his idea right away, but since there was no population, that was not what was going to happen. After 2 long weeks of travel he finally made it to a place that looked like a desert. Then he saw a sign ahead of him saying, “ Welcome to the Great American Desert, Elevation 100, population 0.” He couldn't believe his eyes. But he couldn't turn back now he promised his wife he could come home with a company. What was he going to …show more content…
He happily found a way to deliver the Kool-aid. With the new delivery system nobody would have to move here to get kool-aid. Also, after that disastrous winter no one would want to move back. Once he started the system even more people started to leave! But That was it, people that stayed here we're here for good. There was now more room to grow more foods and raise animals. People started to pick up farming and build grocery stores. More families started to be raised and a school system started up. They tried to grow a whole bunch of different foods. Not many of them worked as a huge success. One person tried corn and it worked incredibly good. More and more people used con in their gardens to feed to the animals and cook for themselves! Corn was the perfect farming food for Nebraska. Which did I tell you got a new nickname, Nebraska was now called the cornhusker state. Things started to pick back up in nebraska and become normal. They had Kool-aid, farming, and charismatic families/people. As you can see it is starting to sound like the Nebraska we know now. That is probably because it is. Without all this history we wouldn’t be where we are now. And Edwin E Perkins actually kinda started it all. That is a sure way to be well known. He definitely got the respect and popularity he
