Non-alcoholic drink for kids in liquor stores

1) Sparkling cider isn't a new product. It's easy to find it around here, it's just that it's not marketed to kids specifically. Which brings me to my second point.

2) This is being sold in liquor stores only right now. How many kids are perusing the aisles of liquor stores, anyway? It's no wonder this product isn't selling well.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I agree that you shouldn't demonize alcohol, but there are several practical applications for having something like sparkling cider on hand for the kids.

1) Many kids don't like the taste of alcohol. It's one of those things you grow into (at least it was for me), and if they know they don't like it, then it would be nice to have something on hand that they will drink.

2) Kids can't grasp the concept of moderation. Once they've drunk a little champagne, they'll want more to drink, and you can't keep pouring the liquor.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
