7-Up for Baby! - Neatorama

This 11-month old baby isn't even their youngest customer! The ad copy also says:

By the way, Mom, when it comes to toddlers- if they liked to be coaxed to drink their milk, try this: add 7-Up to the milk in equal parts, pouring the 7-Up gently into the milk. It's a wholesome combination- and it works!

Wow.........I've never heard that one I will try that with my kids to see if I can get them to drink more milk

pwscott and Lady Helena Handbasket...count me in on that. I usually got a bit of rum or brandy. My husband got brandy. We lived. But yeah, if I had kids, I'd be drinking the alcohol myself. ;)

My mum put brandy in my milk to help me sleep. When I had my own children I didn't do this - I drank the brandy myself instead.

Yeah, he missed the capital of Alabama as well... Montgomery.

Yeah, but can he spell "captial"?

Also... Sorry, Miss Cellania, but the spelling "capitol" is only used to describe the seat of government. "Capital" is a city or town which is a principal governmental seat.
God, I'm annoying.

I wondered about that when I wrote this, Jenny. I couldn't remember the rule, but I figured I had a 50% chance of spelling it correctly....

You know, in nearly twenty years since I've left grade school, not once, not once have I needed to know the name of a single capital city. Why not teach the kid something useful, like molecular biology or calculus?

Let the damn kid play. He won't have any social skills when he goes to school. So wanna play name the capitals??

listen to all the jealous dummies. The kid will leave you all in his dust trail. Sure some of the capitals/ols were not right did you think perhaps his teachers were not as smart as he is. Good luck kid! He looks intent not scared.

AHhH!!! Capitals, capitals, CAPITALS!! I swear, I love the site, but the atrocious spelling has GOT to GO! It's impossible to spend more than a couple of minutes here without cringing at some really, horrendously bad spelling. Of easy words, too. Come on, people. CAPITAL! If you're not sure, take a second to google it!
