50. Jim Jones' cult used Flavor Aid.

So the logo does not make fun
nor link Obama to Jim Jones and
the death of the people involved.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Jones

"Jones' instructions to commit "revolutionary suicide" by drinking cyanide-laced grape flavored Flavor Aid<6><7> (often misidentified as Kool-aid) along with a sedative. Children are given the drink first and families are told to lie down together. The mass suicide was practiced in simulated events called "White Nights" on a regular basis. Others died by forced cyanide injection or by shooting. A total of 167 escaped."
