Just because most of these drinks don’t have caffeine doesn’t mean that they won’t get you (or your kids) wound up though. Each of these drinks have between 30-41 grams of sugar in a 16oz. Freeze.
Not only is that much sugar not good for your sanity if you give it to your kids, it also isn’t the best for them healthwise either.
