the PR and Marketing specifically geared towards imprinting the corporate culture and brand as a positive mindset and way of life, targeted to "inside audiences", a.k.a. the employees, of a corporation, most especialy to new hires to help them assimilate into their new environment". In the most successful cases, this is done in such a way that the individual who has "drunk the corporate kool aid" will, outside of work and uncompensated, be a willing and engaged corporate spokesperson, advocating and promoting the corporation's stated views and agenda as True Believer.

A very common alcoholic drink on various Indian reservations (more commonly referred to as 'the rez') in the West. Usually consumed towards the end of the month when federal subsidy check has been spent on high quality liquor such as PBR, Schlitz, Burnett's vodka, and various rums in plastic containers. Indian Kool-Aid is simply made by mixing isopropyl rubbing alcohol and Kool-Aid powder. The sugar masks the terrible taste of the cheap as hell rubbing alcohol. It's fucking sad but fucking true... Before you hate too hard on these poor bastards go to a rez in South Dakota and see how much there is to do and how much hope there is to fill your day.
Alcoholic native moseys over to his neighbor's trailer in the middle of the SoDak prairie. There are no jobs to be had and the only hope he can come by is provided solely from his alcohol-induced fantasies...
"Hey Wildhorse, you g-got anymore of that f-firewater?"
"Naw Eagle-Eye it's all gone. I musta spilt it all out on the bluff last night under the half moon. I'll mix up some "Indian Kool-Aid" tho and we'll go shoot some prairie dogs, eh."
Eagle-Eye ponders the wisdom of this momentarily. The month before he consumed two bottles of rubbing alcohol in a few hours and almost died from the respiratory depression caused by isopropyl alcohol's strong effect on the Central Nervous System.
"That'll work Wildhorse. Mix mine real strong, eh."

A Kool-aid mom is a mom who welcomes everyone to enjoy food and beverages in her home. People tend to gravitate towards this person's house because it is a friendly social environment where everyone feels comfortable and welcoming.
All the kids go to Julia's house to hang out. Her mom makes everyone feel welcome and offers everyone snacks and drinks. She is the typical Kool-aid mom.
verb meaning to bust through a wall, door, or otherwise hard structure and suprise someone or a group of people and say, "OH, YEAH!"
"i was at this girl's apartment last night, and instead of knocking, i totally kool-aid manned the door. the bitch almost fell out of her chair."

A figure of speech that means to buy into the ideas or beliefs that someone else is selling, be it a company or a church. It strongly suggests that the ideas are nonsense and possibly dangerous. The phrase is a reference to the Jonestown massacre in which the cult leader Jim Jones led his followers to commit mass-suicide by drinking a poisoned fruit drink similar to Kool-Aid.
"You've been at that company too long and they treat you like crap. It's time to stop drinking the kool-aid."
"He's been volunteering for that political campaign and it's all he talks about. Half of it is BS ... I wish he'd stop drinking the kool-aid."
