Okay, I give in. I get that it's a cultural reference, but it isn't one that made it over the pond!

Oh damn, I thought Kool-Aid was a worldwide brand, This is the Kool-Aid man
He busts through walls and screams "Oh Yeah!"
Kool-Aid, I would describe as colored, and flavored, sugar crystals. Mix it with water and you get a juice drink.

Aha. I've heard of Kool Aid, but always in terms of people saying "he drank the Kool Aid". I knew it was a drink, and IIRC it's the one all those people poisoned themselves with in that cult? But that's about all. I had non idea it busted through walls!

It's an iconic reference for people from the U.S. and of a certain age. The Kool-Aid Man was a ubiquitous advertising mascot, and his propensity to do something as non-normal as continuously breaking through walls is still parodied in platforms like Family Guy.
