I use 2 packets of Kool-aid, 1 cup of sugar in 32 oz container (Powerade or Gatorade container) and the kids use the Margarittaville machine to shave ice and they pour a little over it ~ you only want to wet the ice, not pour a drink. All the kids in our neighborhood love it!

I remember as a kid we would use the kool-aid and those tupperware ice pop maker or take and use an ice tray and make ice cubes with kool-aid. Good times in the hot summer of Mississippi.

Dixie cups are a good size too ~

We dipped apple slices in it in my preschool classroom last fall and the kids loved it. Messy though!

In high school, we put it in zippie bags and made our own "fun dip." Wimps put sugar in it, !

you can add a pkg of it to 1 cup sugar and use it in your cotton candy machine if you have one. much cheaper tha buying refills, and lot of varaties of flavors.

Giving this a bump since it is summer and there is an abundance of Kool-Aid in the house right now!

I do this often I like how it makes my dishwasher smells

Saw on pinterest that you can use kool aid to color eggs for Easter.

We never had it as a drink in our house but we did sometimes use it in a spray bottle (no sugar) to make tye dye snowmen in the winter (cheaper than using up mom's food coloring). We also would sometimes use it mixed with just a little water (again no sugar) to make scented paintings.

Also along with using the lemon to clean out a dishwasher you can add a little baking soda and water and use it to defunk coolers that may have lingering odors from past use.
