• So the markets raised the raised their prices

WHAT DID PEOPLE DO?

• Families had to become self-dependent
• People who couldn't grow their own crops bought from people who could

THE POSITIVES

• More inventions were made, even the original kool-aid
• A lot of new recipes were made some that we even use today
• Colonel Harland Sanders made the recipe for a famous cafe in Kentucky
• Women got together in some towns to discuss their own recipes and politics

SUBSTITUTION FOODS

• Spam
• Kraft macaroni and cheese
• Good Humor ice cream bars
• Bisquik

THIS WAS THE ORIGINAL KOOL-AID LOGO-- MADE IT THE 1930'S

THE OVERALL OUTCOME
