Applebee's pledged to change its drink policy Monday after a Michigan toddler was rushed to the hospital when his sippy cup of apple juice came back full of margarita mix instead.
The restaurant chain made national headlines when Taylor Dill-Reese said that her 15-month-old had a BAC of .10 after sipping the mixed-up mixer.
So now, the restaurant chain promises, it will serve apple juice only from single-serve containers served at the table. They will also "retrain all servers on our beverage pouring police, emphasizing that non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages must be stored in completely separate and identified containers."
So most folks are aware this has happened, but I confess I was shocked to learn it wasn't the first time. The stories from 2006 and 2007 are almost identical to the recent one. So even though this week's WTH is taken, I have to ask... what the hell, guys? Once isn't great, but even the most diligent will slip after serving a million meals. But three times, serving alcohol to babies, and they're just now moving to make a correction?
