They Ruined Kool-Aid Man



Look at what they did to Kool-Aid man. He started out as a giant jug of sugar water, busting through walls and letting you drink out of him, a seemingly never-ending supply of flavorful fun. Flash forward to today and his liquid stomach is stapled. How the hell are we supposed to have an all-afternoon sugar high off that teacup? And look what they did to his clothes. Instead of fruity nudity, fig leaves. And look how they foreshortened him to emphasize the fruit and berries in his hands. So now he's tiny and modest and healthy. And he is carrying a jug of himself? Now tell me that is not wrong.
Sure enough, if you go to the official Kool-Aid Man site, he's wearing pants in every image.
From Wikipedia's Kool-Aid Man article:


Hastings Museum, which opened the first permanent Kool-Aid exhibit in 2002, has Kool-Aid Man's original costume on display. Made of fiberglass, the costume featured a more prominent face, skinnier body and no clothing. Now, he is made of inflatable nylon and is dressed in a shirt, jeans and shoes.
