- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -9/+496I'd hate to be the guy who gets apple juice instead of a margarita
- ThinkBox, on 10/11/2007, -8/+397yeah, you think it's funny now, but latter that night, lil timmy wrapped his little red wagon around a tree, HOW YOU LIKE THEM APPLES??
- Charlotte_Web, on 10/11/2007, -15/+251How do you "accidentally" put a margarita into a sippie cup?
Was the rim of the sippie part properly salted? - ivanisavich, on 10/11/2007, -9/+157Good job applebees. Now this kid is destined to a life of violent crime.
- Bahimiron, on 10/11/2007, -10/+152+1 for the Office reference.
-2 for feeling you had to explain it.
Man, never explain your references. Awesome people will get them, loser people won't. - roosterjm2k2, on 10/11/2007, -11/+150Here we go with the insults again.
When will people realize that ***** happens every now and then, and that honest mistakes happen, and every time a mistake happens, its not cause for belittling everyone and everything?
Maybe I'm going to start ordering apple juice more often...
Actually, on that note, it was margarita mix. Doesnt that imply that there is no alchohol in it, or does applebees do the fully ready drinks? - xrisnothing, on 10/11/2007, -8/+113How many times has that paid off? 0?
I understand you're just looking out for them, but that's just a tad paranoid. Restaurants aren't making money by poisoning children's drinks. They're not any more likely to mess up their drink than they are yours. - xrisnothing, on 10/11/2007, -17/+117This isn't news. It isn't even remotely interesting.
BREAKING: ACCIDENTS HAPPEN, AMAZING!!! - sickswaystop, on 10/11/2007, -10/+110eww what about breast milk
- roosterjm2k2, on 10/11/2007, -28/+110Supermoses...
You know, most people that say ***** like "chick drink!" usually can't hold their alcohol or are just idiot frat boys...which are you?
I enjoy margaritas. I enjoy cocktails. I hate beer. Tastes like *****. Don't buy the whole "acquired taste" *****...why the ***** would i want to acquire a taste I don't like? Not to mention I have to drink 12 oz to get the alcohol of 1oz of liqour, and usually even less (151 FTW).
If i just want to get drunk, I'll drink Bourbon. If I want to get drunk and broke, I'll drink good Scotch. If i just want a drink and want to hangout with friends and enjoy myself, I'll drink a cocktail. - bargainmusic, on 10/11/2007, -6/+82I would expect this from a Chili's...but Applebee's? What is this world coming to?
- bingcognito, on 10/11/2007, -3/+65The story's newsworthy because it didn't end in litigation. A rare thing these days.
- allenobendorf, on 10/11/2007, -20/+79Chili's is the new place for business transactions according to Small Business Man Weekly.
(Office Reference) - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -3/+57Applebee's - fun for the whole family!
- Sun.Surfin, on 10/11/2007, -1/+49I try really hard not to eat buildings in general.
- Iwantawii, on 10/11/2007, -5/+44@rooster
It's not something you force. The acquired taste happens without your will. I held the same stance you did, drinking only mixers and whiskeys on ice, until one day after a house move a buddy handed me an ice cold Killian's that had been sitting in a cooler with ice all day. Changed my life forever. I felt the delicious bubbles coursing through my veins. After which I finally understood what it felt like to be jonesin' for a cold one. Once it happens to you, there's no going back. This was a long time ago, maybe 20lbs or so. - aussieNickuss, on 10/11/2007, -1/+37"This isn't news. It isn't even remotely interesting."
This is news....your missing the point. A guy sues over a lost pair of pants for $54m, whereas this mothers simply not gonna go to that restaurant again.
Serving alcohol to a 2yo is probably more sue-worthy than a pair of pants....but this mother actually has a brain. Thats news if you ask me. - R34C7, on 10/11/2007, -6/+41The bastards at Bennigans did this to my two year old... My son was smart enough to tell me he didn't like it before he drank anymore. No harm done so I didn't bitch about it, but if he had drank anymore I would have been upset.
- Octtopsy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+32"The apple juice and margarita mix were stored in identical plastic bottles"
As were the tiny packages for the candy and painkillers... - Binarydemon, on 10/11/2007, -2/+34Banning CHILDREN from all restaurants would be an acceptable solution too.
- sully213, on 10/11/2007, -4/+35Still....better than getting a sippy cup of Bee Juice. Those stingers can really hurt a kid's throat!
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+29No, but they might wind up at the same rehab together someday. ;)
- Rabbethan, on 10/11/2007, -0/+27Heroin, alcohol...*****, these kids are partying harder than I do!
- daRoach, on 10/11/2007, -5/+30Rooster, you're drinking the wrong beer. Here in Oregon we have microbreweries where the beer-making is comparable to wine-making. The brews have distinct flavors, textures and compliment a meal or an outing. Drinking a bold porter on a cold winter night with a fire going is an enjoyable experience. A blond ale at a barbeque or baseball game can't be beat. Beer must be appreciated... unless it's Budweisers or the like, then yeah it's piss.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+23
Are the corporate Applebees more stringent on the flair policy? - sylvanis, on 10/11/2007, -3/+25irresponsible on both parts. I have a 2yr old and I can say that when I order a drink for my child, I never give the 'sippy cup' to the waitress to fill. I wait for them to bring me a glass of juice/milk and pour it in myself.
- grunk, on 10/11/2007, -2/+23The worst part of this story is that the kid was the designated driver!
- Totalchaos02, on 10/11/2007, -9/+29Don't understand why the comment above is being dugg down at all. He is right, this was an accident not news. The last line of the article is stupid on an impressive level. She isn't ever going back because a mistake was made. The kid got sick and they paid for the hospital bills, they didn't give the kid Cancer. People need to get over ***** like this. It was a mistake and not some attempt to get this poor mother and her precious child.
- Falldog, on 10/11/2007, -0/+19If you don't like it, don't digg it. I'm sure there are more amazing pictures from 1998 that need attention.
- jasonslay, on 10/11/2007, -1/+20aren't premixed
come with liquor in them
??? - Jambi, on 10/11/2007, -1/+20Well, I think it's obvious what we need to do here: no alcohol should be served in any restaurants, just in case a small child might accidentally consume some. Won't someone PLEASE think of the CHILDREN?!!
- emjaymj, on 10/11/2007, -2/+20@roosterjm2k2
First of all, I suggest you try a few local craft beers. Beers like bud and Miller really DO suck. There's a reason people demand these beers ice cold - it hides the taste. If you know what specialty beers are available around you then i suggest going to www.ratebeer.com and finding out what's generally rated the best. The site is a great resource. If you can like margaritas (I don't see them as chick drinks at all, in fact I find the tequila too rough), then you can like just about everything. I seriously used to hate beer because all I was exposed to were the ***** macromade brews, but after getting into the specialty beers there's no going back for me - some of them are seriously the drinks of gods.
However, there is a very good reason for acquiring a taste. In any art that we make an effort to enjoy, it is usually the case that eventually we find most pleasure in things that are more difficult. It's like the difference between the new "Pirates" flick and "Pan's Labyrinth," Britney Spears and Pink Floyd, the food from McDonalds or from a 5 star restaurant.
The first of all these pairs are easy to like because their simplicity doesn't offend anyone. There's a reason kids love these things - they're easy and require no work. They all definitely appeal to more people than the 2nd choice from all the sets, yet anybody with a developed taste in the area is almost certain to disagree. A critic would be lynched for picking the first of any of these sets. The point is, It's only by developing your tastes within a certain area that you can really learn to enjoy and appreciate the finer parts of it. I can see why people enjoy sweet fruity cocktails, but for me it doesn't even compare to the amazing complexity of a Rochefort 10, a beer brewed by Trappist monks in Belgium. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -3/+21You know what's an easy way this could have been avoided? If the restaurant didn't keep apple juice and margarita mix in identical containers.
Hey guess what, now the restaurant doesn't keep apple juice and margarita mix in identical containers anymore. Problem solved, and nobody has to be their child's taster. - WileEPeyote, on 10/11/2007, -0/+15The best thing about this article is that the parent didn't immediately launch into "get a lawyer" mode. It's good to see there are other sensible people out there that realize we are all humans and make a mistake now and then.
- airquotes, on 10/11/2007, -5/+19"He grew drowsy and started vomiting a few hours later and was rushed to the hospital." Dont toddlers get sleepy and spit up (vomit) a lot naturally anyways?
- xtothepowerofx, on 10/11/2007, -3/+17@ jcm267
please god tell me there's no one left on earth who would consume an hours worth of fossil fuels to get to a Denny's
ouch.... - Influsion, on 10/11/2007, -7/+19What's the big deal? (1) It wasn't intentional, (2) The kid's fine.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -4/+15"Banning CHILDREN from all restaurants would be an acceptable solution too."
- I concur... well partly. Let the children go to places like Friendly's, Denny's, Bickford's, McDonald's, Wendy's, BK, etc. Just keep them away from the places that serve alcohol... but first we need to smack some sense into the parents who bring their pre kindergarten age kids into liquor stores, casinos, Catholic churches, etc - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+12...no?
- Error601, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10Because perfection is easy and anyone whoever makes a mistake is a total idiot.
- Sun.Surfin, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10@aapala
I think it's fairly obvious that he was being sarcastic.... - Jambi, on 10/11/2007, -4/+14Ban children from restaurants? I suppose you'd also ban children from R-rated movies just because they talk loudly and cry when something on screen scares them! Remember, people with children have the right to take them ANYWHERE and expect to be catered to, and if that happens to ruin your fun... oh well, too bad! The only obvious solution to all of these things endangering our children is to ban them, so that no child even has a chance of running across them!
- Alcohol in public places
- Smoking
- Unhealthy food
- Swearing
- Strip clubs
- Sex where anyone might see you (like in your own house with an open window)
- The books of Richard Dawkins
- Television that doesn't adhere to a "wholesome family standard"
All the above are just some examples of things we need to ban in order to make America a livable place for our kids! And of course, they need to be protected from themselves! Cameras in all public areas, along with mandatory RFID tags implanted in the hand and medication of all children outside allowed behavior norms ought to do the trick! - manicallday, on 10/11/2007, -7/+16This is so Fark. What's next pictures of cats and *****.
- CaviMike, on 10/11/2007, -2/+10Where was Applebees when I was 2?
- ColinDoody, on 10/11/2007, -3/+10I like the mother though- at least she was cool about it . We need more people like that ...
- Aliarse, on 10/11/2007, -7/+14@waltdismal (#7218675)
Im replyin to ur comment, to tell u it was *****. - Phaedruss, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9I don't think that word means what you think it means.
- dojonz, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Toddlers in this day and age.. couldn't handle heroin.. now not even some simple tequila..
- dlsspy, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9So, that's the mix, what about the tequila and triple sec?
``It was an honest mistake. I went for apple juice and got maragarita mix and was just like, `***** it, where's the tequila?' '' - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7@jambi
Are you implying that we should allow children to go to strip clubs if it's okay with their parents? -
