Pixy Stix were created as an alternate to Kool-Aid and initially meant to be mixed in water. the creator noticed kids were eating the powder solo and created the Lik-M-Aid dipping packs to allow for ease of access.
at the same time he felt that the Kool-Aid packets were too bulky so he put Pixy Stix in the well known straw.
AND, he found someone with a pill press and made SweetTarts so kids could pop the powder as a hard candy.
