Are there any volenteers out there who might want to put together a
Kool-aid Man FAQ?  With all this talk about something as simple as the
"thpt thpt thpt" sound, just think about the range of posibilities!   ;-)

Does anyone remember the origional special offer for getting the cart?
Wasn't it something like: send in hundreds of Kool-Aid points from their
product labels plus shipping and handling.  It was probally the only deal
of its kind in video game history.  I also have seen the game advertised
on the inside some old comic books from the early eighties.
