Phil Dorsey owns the Checkers here and the one in Charles County. His sister runs them for him, call his office and ask to speak to the person in charge of all the Checkers and see what happens, the manager at the Checkers you called probley dosen't care, but I would think the owner would. JMO

You don't give 2 year olds sweet tea, unless you have plenty of dental insurance to cover the damage it does to their teeth. Why would you want them to have that much sugar at night?
If I was the owner and someone called me with that story, I would turn them in to Child Protective Services.

At home he gets 100% juices... but the "fruit punch" at fast food places has more sugar than sweet tea.

Yes he had fries, no that's not what's in the tea because at the time he was drinking the tea he was not eating fries. Besides, these are large chunks, some too large to have been "backwashed" in to the straw.

If I didn't feel a little ill this morning and had he not puked spectacularly last night the entire contents of his stomach, I wouldn't have been as concerned. He seems to be fine now and after he puked last night he was fine as well.

As for the "sugar overload" theory, sweet tea is one of his favorite drinks and I've let him drink it on multiple occasions with no adverse side effects.

Is milk not an option for your child?
Fast Food restaurant drinks have about a 2000% profit margin


When I eat there, I'll use a coupon to grab a couple of the burgers and then take them home to eat them with a glass of milk.




well, not actually a "glass" of milk.
Since I'm single, I can just drink out of the bottle :lol:

Ask the Dr. or Dentist if this is good and see what they say about the sugar laying in the childs mouth while sleeping and the damage it can do to the teeth as well as to the teeth under the gums. Turns them black and they rot and child will have to have them pulled to keep from ruining his primary teeth that haven't come in yet. JMO

No matter what you spout, it is not good to give a child caffeine or too much sugar.

http://www.healthychild.net/articles/na17caffeine.html

Is it healthy for children to consume caffeine? Many health care providers, especially pediatricians, recommend that children avoid or limit caffeine use. Caffeine is absorbed very quickly in the body and then passes into the central nervous system. Caffeine in low doses can affect the body, such as decreased appetite, increased urination, and insomnia (difficulty sleeping). Toxic effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, cramps, muscle twitching, and agitation can begin with consumption of as little as 4.5 mg of caffeine per pound of body weight (114 mg in a 25 lb. child). Severe caffeine toxicity can lead to seizures, an increased heart rate and an irregular heart beat. "Caffeine sensitivity" refers to the amount of caffeine that will produce negative side effects and this amount varies from person to person. Caffeine does not accumulate in the bloodstream and is excreted in the urine within hours of being consumed.

I'd prefer he drink higher amounts of caffeine than the extreme sugar found in most fruit punches and other non-carbonated beverages. The health benefits of teas have been proven, where as the health benefits of sugary fruit punches have not.

why not give a two year old milk? or red wine. what special did he have from checkers? the double bacon double cheeseburger
