Can you substitute kool-aid with jello powder?

I was wondering if anyone knows if you can use the jello powder instead of kool-aid to make a drink like kool-aid? I am all out of kool-aid and have jello packets in the cupboard so I thought it might wok but thought I would see if anyone has tried it and if it worksor doesn't. If it works how much sugar and jello powder should I use?

only if you want to eat it instead of drink it...

Jello has gelatin in it and it sets up as Jello. If you try thinning it you just get watery Jello.
It is drinkable if you thin it enough but it really is not good.

You are better off to make it up as Jello and enjoy a cool jiggly desert.
I don't see why not.You'd just have to substitute the boiling water for cold water and drink it all before it sets up.You shouldn't need any more sugar as jello already contains the proper amount of sugar.
dad of 17 years - but has never tried to do a switch-a-roo of kool aid for jello !!
no jello will bind you up i know docs who give kids unflavored jello water to drink to help bind then up sorry you can either make jello and enjoy or go get koolaid
