Summary
| Description |
Screenshot of the Kool-Aid Man mascot making his trademark entrance by breaking through a wall. |

1978 "Castles & Knights" Kool-Aid commercial |
| Article | |
| Portion used |
Black border cropped for article formatting, however, the entire image is shown to avoid misrepresenting the intended image. |
| Low resolution? |
The image has been sized to be as small as possible, while providing the reader with a reasonable idea of the characters' appearance. |
| Purpose of use |
The image is being used for educational purposes within the text passage(s) of the Kool-Aid Man article on Wikipedia. There is an image of the modern-day animated version of the mascot used in the article, however, the modern-day "cartoon" mascot does not adequately convey the appearance of the original live-action Kool-Aid Man (which has been repeatedly referenced in modern-day pop culture, most notably on the animated television series Family Guy). The significance of this particular image is to illustrate the original live-action Kool-Aid Man's appearance, his trademark "entrance" (breaking through walls), and to illustrate General Food's intended branding during the 1970s, in a way that words alone could not convey. Also see rationale below. |
| Replaceable? |
Advertising mascots are always presumed to be non-free, therefore, a free-use alternative won't exist. |
