Martini in student’s lunchbox prompts Georgia police to warn parents: ‘That is NOT Apple Juice’ – NBC News
Hey, it’s homeroom or happy hour somewhere in the world, right?
Police near Atlanta kindly asked parents Wednesday to double-check lunches they pack for their children after one tyke came to school with a martini to wash down a midday snack.
The South Fulton Police Department released a picture of what, at a quick glance, looked like a normal school lunch.
But on closer examination, the aluminum can wasn’t juice, soda or any other non-intoxicating beverage. It was a can of lemon martini made with “vodka, triple sec and lemon juice,” according to its label.
“That is NOT Capri Sun. That is NOT Apple Juice,” police said in a statement about the youngster’s one-martini lunch. “That is a whole ‘Parent had a long night’ starter pack.”
The beverage, made by San Diego-based Cutwater, is 11% alcohol, or about twice the ABV of most beers.
“Check the lunchbox before the Fulton County Schools Police resource officers gotta do inventory at recess,” South Fulton police added.
A Cutwater representative could not immediately be reached for comment Thursday.
