Bugs Bunny for Kool-Aid, "Doin' the Kool"

Bugs and a group of kids at a go-go that serves Kool-Aid!!

So THIS is what gave Kool-Aid it's "cartoony" personality before the pitcher grew limbs and started breaking down walls!

@GamingPalooza It was the '60s, Heck even Batman was dancing on tv. UGH! I'm glad I was born in the '80s. We didn't have any tacky clothes, hair styles, or music... right?

You know, this is referenced in the Animaniacs episode, "Back in Style," when Warner Bros. had to shut down the animation department, and Thaddeus Plotz had to use Yakko, Wakko and Dot for loanout deals.
