School selling popular hydration drink during sports day

[GiddyGingernut]

You can't bring your own food and drinks for your children, though.

Perfectly acceptable to sell a popular hydration brand drink with limited stock per day throughout sports day week but remind parents not to bring any food or drink to the event.

Screw that - I'm loading up my own bag with drinks for the kids!

Even the labelling on Prime hydration drinks suggest they aren't suitable for children under 15. They are tailored to adults and the excessive electrolytes can affect kidney function and blood pressure due to electrolyte imbalance.

The school absolutely should not be selling these to primary school children, never mind on sports day.

The Prime hydration drinks are all utterly revolting and undrinkable.
I also object to buying water in single use plastic bottles.
I'd definitely be taking my own!

Oh blimey

i just looked up the contents

definitely talk to school OP, they might be handing them out on hot days etc.

Hang on, are the school literally frisking parents and checking their bags for "contraband" drinks at the gate link they do at festivals? 😂

You're not allowed to bring your own water, and only allowed to buy this prime shite?

I really don't know what to say to that

Free Water is available

That would piss me right of I’d bring my own

I get they have to milk any opportunity to raise funds I can cope with and would buy overpriced refreshments for the adults

but this is aimed at the kids to pressure there parents to buy them bang out of order

A picnic with family was part of sports day when I was at school. And my DC. We loved it.

Our school lets of us bring in picnics to have with our children and sells Pimms

I'm the PTA Chair at my DCs school - we provide drinks, fruit, cake & crisps at Sports Day. Previously done BBQs - whole families come as it's after school. But we never have, nor will offer Prime drinks - absolute rip off & awful taste.
And we don't stop anyone bringing their own food/drink etc.
