Company Kool-Aid

Yes, I had to copy and paste Kool-Aid into word to make sure I was spelling it correctly. And no, I didn't spell it correctly because there is a dash in the middle. Why is there a dash I ask you, WHY?
But I digress.

I'm pretty sure that phrase is the ultimate homage to terrible office-isms. And I've caught myself thinking of it way too often. It sticks in your head like an expired can of peanut-brittle left in a black car in August. Just think of all the potential sentences you could ruin with that deplorable phrase!

"Hey Kurt, are you really excited about this sales push or are you just drinking the company Kool-Aid"
"Sandy(generic 50s name) keeps getting promoted, I wonder if I should stop moping around and start drinking the company Kool-Aid"
"I bring my own plastic jug thing to work because I don't trust the company Kool-Aid"

I think that last one was a little paranoid, but the opportunities are endless.
