The Delightful Young Sinners Drink the Children's Beer · 15 May 06
Hey Mr. Man, don’t give me beer. I’m just a kid. What you tryin’ to pull?
Wait, what? A special beer just for young’uns? Aw, thanks Japan!
( Bottle label translation: “Children’s Drink”, though my Japanese host definitely called it “Chldren’s Beer”. Click to enlarge. )
There is children’s beer for boys!
There is children’s beer for girls!
Non-alcoholic, fizzy, sweet, and looks rather real.
Gosh, those Children’s Beer label-kids sure got a lot of cute. Wonder if they’re related to Mr. Good Smoking? Perhaps the drink fuels The Littlest Gambler?
Tiny, teetotaler toddler-friendly, Children’s Beer delights me so! I can’t stop pointing, making tiny thumbnail images of myself or using exclamation points!
It’s just that splendid!

I have given much consideration over the years as to which country I should move to should our political climate deteriorate to an irreversible low, and had always envisioned France as my emmigration country of choice…
Japan is now #1.
Though you can drink whenever in France, I am not aware of any drink specifically marketed to children as having beer-like qualities without the nasty hangovers…
Japan makes me proud. Very, very proud.
PS to Yas – Email me!!! :) I love my little Japanese-Indian-American friend!
