3. Kool, man

Kool-Aid Man has been bursting through walls for more than 40 years. Want him to crash through yours?

Kool-Aid is bringing its mascot’s signature crash to a fan in the real world with a sweepstakes called #KrashHere.

The walking-talking-smiling pitcher of cherry Kool-Aid will “krash” any occasion for the winner. Enter to win a surprise “krash” by Kool-Aid Man by tweeting Kool-Aid on Twitter (@koolaid) with why you should win and the hashtags #KrashHere and #contest.

The sweepstakes is through Nov. 11. The winner will be randomly selected. Entrants must be over 18 and live in the United States, excluding Hawaii and Alaska.

As Kool-Aid Man likes to say: “Oh, yeah!”
