Kool-Aid Story

In seventh grade, Raysfire had an illegal Kool-Aid black market and scammed a kid.

## Transcripts

### This match was pure chaos. (9:20–12:05)

Someone asked why, uh, why Kool-Aid, why I sold Kool-Aid. No, look, Kool-Aid was not hard to get in my city, but like, there were some weird kids who wanted to buy the Kool-Aid, and then like, try to inhale it for some reason, or just eat it with no water, which is not a good decision. I don't know why they did that. But as a kid, I was just trying to make money so I could buy games for my GameCube. Okay, so, I was, I didn't care. I was just like, tw—I was like, 50 cents for one pack. Heh! And, heh, and so I would, I would just sell it to 'em.

So, I would sell the Kool-Aid packets for, uh, 50 cents each. And they would come in boxes of 12, right, so if someone wanted to buy the whole box, it would be six dollars, which is, you know, honestly not, it was more than it cost in the store but it wasn't that bad, really. Right?

Yeah, so like, if you wanted to buy the whole box from me at my price, it was six dollars. One day, a guy came up to me on the bus, and he was like, 'Hey man,' uh, I, I, I had just gotten like a new box or something, I had it in my backpack, and, uh, he was like 'Hey man, I wanna buy a box of the Kool-Aid packets, and I was like, 'Okay man, which one do you want?' and he's like, 'Okay, I want the fruit punch,' and I'm like, 'Oh, okay.' Um, and then he was like, 'Well, I only have this,' and it was a ten dollar bill, and I was like, 'Well, normally, normally if I'm selling the whole pack, I, I don't, I don't normally do this, but for you, I'll make you a deal. I'll give you the whole box for ten dollars!'

Okay, the moral of the story is, I told the kid, 'Hey, I'll make a deal for you. You can buy this box of Kool-Aid packets for me at a special price. Ten dollars for the whole box. And he said, 'Deal,' and he put down the ten dollar bill. So we actually made an increased profit on the box because it was four more dollars than it was supposed to be.

I scammed that guy? Uh...look, look, I was just trying to get ahead because I needed to supply my video game addiction. How else was I gonna buy *Super Mario Sunshine* for the Nintendo GameCube? You know what I'm saying? Well look, I was also a kid, it's not like I was like 21 and I went up to this kid in middle school and I was like, 'Hey kid, you wanna buy some Kool-Aid?' I was like also the same age as the kid.

### Seems like a POWERUP LEVEL (8:50—11:20)

That reminds me of when I sold Kool-Aid packets to kids in middle school. And then they would just try to snort it. Like dude, what? Why, what are you doing? Stop!

You know how you can buy those little packets that you mix into a bottle of water?

Okay, I...would, I would get those for lunch, but I was fine drinking water, so I would sell the Kool-Aid packets to kids that were on like the athletic bus in the morning. Because we would have to go to like morning practice, and then we would ride the bus over to school. And, uh, they would take the packets and instead of using them in their water, they would be like, 'Yo bro, check this out,' and *(laughs)* then they would try to inhale it, but then they would just like die. They would d—they would try to be like, \*snorts\* \*dies\* and they would just be like dying on the bus. It was incredible. And by that I mean it was really dumb, I don't know why they did that. But at that point in time, look, all I was trying to do was buy video games, and if they were supplying the money to do that, it was a win in my eyes. Okay?

I did scam a kid once. I know how you do like, 'TD:XIC' or 'scammed' in the chat, but I actually did, in middle school. The, the, the quick story is, I'll give you the abridged version. In a box of those like, Kool-Aid singles, they would come in packets of, or boxes of 12. So you would get like a dozen packets per box. And it was like, and I would, I would generally sell each packet for 50 cents. Right, so if you do the math, that is, uh, six dollars for the whole box. Right? One day, the kid was like, 'Can I get the whole box?' and I was like, 'Sure. I'll give you a discount.' And he was like, 'Sick!' And I was like, 'Yeah, ten dollars for the whole thing!' And he was like, 'Oh, nice! That's a good deal!' Heh heh heh heh! And so then I got an extra four dollars.

That's when I was in, uh, seventh grade. I was hustling, okay? I was giving them a discount! Yeah, see, it was, it was nice of me, I was trying to be helpful.
