Hastings, Nebraska just installed a six-foot statue of the KOOL-AID MAN. A guy from Hastings named Edwin Perkins came up with Kool-Aid in 1927 after messing around in his mom's kitchen.
If you happen to be swinging through southeast Nebraska anytime soon, it's outside the Hastings Museum of Natural & Cultural History. (Here's a photo.)
