What's always ticked me off about any discussions of Jim Jones' People's Temple is that it's almost never mentioned that they were a bunch of extreme Red leftists from San Francisco who followed that kook down to Guyana.

They're always portrayed as just members of some church. Their ideology was political, not theological.

The other thing about them that ticks off the Kraft Food Company to this day is that they didn't drink poisoned Kool-Aid®, instead it was Wyler's 'Flavor-Ade®' from a UK distributor.
