The Jonestown Kool Aid ceremony was a one-way peg.

Can you translate that joke (?) for a non-US person?

The Jonestown Massacare was a community of mostly Americans that committed mass suicide in 1978 in Guyana lead by 'charismatic' religious leader Jim Jones.

What kind of joke is that

Like having a bacteria named after you, like Keanu Reeves

Suicide was by (mostly) knowingly drinking a poisoned Juice mixture, hence the phrase "drinking the Kool Aid" for buying into someone's agenda.
