Kidsbeer proves hit suds for minors

Kidsbeer proves hit suds for minors

Usually I'm not a fan of do-gooders who want to ban this and ban that, but here I'll make an exception:

Kidsbeer, a nonalcoholic brew aimed at children, is catching on with young drinkers and is posting monthly shipments of 75,000 bottles, according to maker Tomomasu Co.

The beverage, one of whose ingredients is the Latin American plant guarana, sells for around 380 yen per 330-milliliter bottle. The bottles themselves are colored brown to make the drink look even more like its more potent counterpart, the company said.


Of course, the MADD-types I normally disdain will probably keep it from getting marketed here.
