"Drinking the Kool-Aid"

"...is a phrase and metaphor, used in the United States and Canada, that means to become a firm believer in something, to accept an argument or philosophy wholeheartedly or blindly without critical examination. The term originated with the November 1978 Jonestown Massacre, where members of the Peoples Temple were said to have committed suicide by drinking Kool-Aid laced with cyanide."

OK, this is per Wikipedia. But what about "Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test"? Coincidence? There must be a connection...
