Jim Jones did not actually drink the Kool-Aid; he died in the Jonestown mass suicide in 1978 from a gunshot wound. The phrase "drinking the Kool-Aid" has since become a metaphor for blindly following a leader or ideology. In the tragic event, followers consumed a cyanide-laced drink, often mistakenly referred to as Kool-Aid, but it was actually a different brand of flavored drink mix.
