In honor of the Mythbusters coming to Grand Rapids, I decided to do a little sleuthing of my own.

Remember the Kool Aid Man from the '70s TV commercials? A giant pitcher of Kool Aid who would save the day by running through walls to serve you his sugary drink.

If a six-foot pitcher of punch did indeed exist, could he, by his sheer volume, bust through a brick wall?

Damn right he could. Easily. But he might die trying.

Jake Roper, a contributor to the YouTube channel VSauce, says that, oh yeah — he can. Roper estimates that if the Kool-Aid Man were brought up to the scale represented in the iconic ads, he would measure about 6 feet tall, have a dry weight of almost 6,000 pounds (11,000 pounds when filled with Kool-Aid), and his glass frame would measure 3.6 inches thick. Glass, he argues, can withstand pressure 469 times that of our atmosphere. Since that's well past the strength needed to obliterate brick and mortar, the massive red mascot would only need to move at an "average running pace" to break through.

And here's your proof. Take that, Mythbusters!!

"But I'm not sure I like my punch bowl to wear tights."

Comedian Dane Cook tells a not safe for work (NSFW) story about the Kool Aid Man and how he never liked him.
