I am 100% against this. What are they trying to promote? They are teaching or encouraging kids to "celebrate like grown ups do"! Kids are kids, they should not be thinking in celebrating in any other way but how children do. I think the company who created this drink acted very irresponsible and this new beverage needs to be removed from shelves.
Now if they had a version of this that made you lose track of the day that you drank it, upset your stomach, sucked all the energy to live from your body for a day and caused a mind splitting headache for the youngsters, this could be a fantastic educational device.
My father smoked PALL MALL unfiltered regulars for about 40years. I thought about smoking when I was young and then he and I had some cigarettes together. Of course he could basically finish one and then lite another, but as a novice, I finished 1.5 before I was quite full and nausiated with the entire experience. Never picked up a cigarette again. However, I on rare occassions will smoke a pipe or a cigar...very rare occassions.
