Seriously, how does someone make this mistake?

I think it's just a given. Sometimes, it's the only way to shut those damned kids up. I know that the sitter my niece and nephew go to give them juice. I don't know about Kool Aid or anything like that, but when i was their age, i loved the stuff.

 

[Amaris]

What are they doing feeding those kids cool aid in the first place? They should be having mineral water or natural juices, especially at that age. If we found out our little ones were given that shit at nursery, we would have freaked!

We're becoming smarter about that, but old habits die hard.

I can say this: Windex tastes bad and you can definitely tell it's windex, de-greaser as well, bleach burns the mouth and what we called quat (I guess just common cleaner) smelled like sprite but didn't taste anything like it.

Don't ask me how I know this.

How old were these children? If they were old eough to know how to reach, then I say Natural Selection has once again struck, but indeed whoever bought the thing should have drank it whole.

Uh, an infant is "old enough to know how to reach." Do you live near any humans? These kids were aged 2-7.

And really, I'd watch the natural selection comments judging by the quality of writing in your paragraph below.

And it tastes nothing like Kool-Aide. These kids are so brainwashed, they continued drinking it even when it tasted bad and not like Kool-Aide. Reminds me of that stufy a year or so back that showed kids hated Karrots, but if they were in McDonald's wrapping, the kids said (in taste tests spereate from eac hother and not being told) that MCDonald's karrots tasted better. Same karrot, McDonald's packaging. How about some McDonald's Windshield Wiper Fluid?

No, the kids took a sip and immediately stopped drinking because it tasted bad, which is why they had an ounce or less of it in their systems and were fine, except for one child who had to remain in observation but is in good condition.

But hey, don't let that get in the way of blaming the children and saying they deserved it for being brainwashed and inferior.

Maybe they should have eaten more karrots, because stuffies say they're good for the eyes. Then they might have noticed it was something spereate from Kool-Aide and stopped eac hother before drinking.

Whut are karrots?

Whut are karrots?

They're vagitables, often eaten by ribbits.

Most bottles of washer-fluid I've encountered have safety-caps on them, and a foil seal.

Never encountered that on any sort of soft-drink, honestly. I mean, fuckingfuckityfuck normally I don't get behind the cries for pitchfork justice but this lady needs to be kept away from kids.

FAR AWAY. Prison should be far enough.

You'd have to be brain dead not to notice the label, at the least, and the smell when they opened it, during the course of those events.

As previously mentioned, antifreeze often has a sweet smell.

Tastes sweet too.

Does not apply much to this story but something to take note of:

A few weeks ago, I was servicing an outdoor generator. I started a siphon going with my mouth and spit out the bit of antifreeze caught on my tongue. That familiar sweet taste turned into one of the most bitter flavors I ever experienced. Not sure if all manufacturers are doing this yet though it is a reassuring refinement.

Was it the green kind or new more "enviro-friendly" red stuff? The green is the good ole sweetness, the red is horrid.

 

[jkladis]

It was actually green, non-diluted varieties from a gas station. Maybe Durex? The glycol taste comes first, the bitter additive sets in very shortly after.

I do have to admit it's been a while since I've tasted any.

The number of TrekBBS members that know what antifreeze and washer fluid taste like is alarming.

...then again some of the nonsense around here suddenly makes sense!

Everyone just calm down, okay? I grabbed the wrong container. Big-freakin'-deal. It was liquid and the drinks they wanted were liquid. Was I supposed to check the label or something? The kids should be just fine and if anything it gives them a taste (no pun intended) of what life will be like.

I've been using the pet-friendly low-tox stuff for years (and quite a lot of it as I had a radiator leak for some time). It's yellowish green...

Strangely enough (apparently), I have no idea. I imagine it tastes like fluorescent yellow-green, whatever that tastes like.

Fry: What tastes like blue?

Most bottles of washer-fluid I've encountered have safety-caps on them, and a foil seal.

And also are typically kept in, say, the garage, the basement, or the trunk of a car, not in the refrigerator.
