7. It's the term "soft drink"

Hi-C is a soft drink, and so is kool-aid or haiwaiin punch. So if the kid has a soda, a fruit punch, a lemonade flavored kool aid burst and a Capri sun, he/she has had four soft drinks. A parent who wouldn't think of giving their child four sodas during the day might happily hand them a few juice boxes.

Personally, my kid does not get to drink like that. We drink predominately water, so he does too. But most of the other parents I know hate drinking water, and their kids grow up to be just like their parents. So it's some kind of juice in the morning and milk on their cereal, juice boxes and soda during the day and milk at supper.
