Default Blue Kool-Aid-like drinks

In EZMoney's thread about alcoholic/caffeinated energy drinks, kaplods makes a comment about

It would be a bit like selling antifreeze in a bottle that looked like a soda bottle - you've made something deadly look safe.
That reminds me: during the summer months I see little plastic bottles of a raspberry-flavored, non-carbonated, blue drink, sort of like KoolAid but not that brand. This gets me worried because often in grocery stores you can get windshield wiper fluid in quart or half-gallon jugs of the same sort of plastic, and it's about the same color as that blue raspberry drink. Am I the only one who worries that somewhere, sometime, some little kid is going to see a jug with that blue wiper fluid in it, think it's raspberry drink, take a glug and is going to end up in a bad way or worse? Who decided that raspberry drink should be blue anyway? Raspberries aren't blue, they're red

It happens all the time. Kids drinking
harsh chemicals because they look
like a safe drink. That's why it's
very important that chemical bottles
be disposed of properly and kept
away from children.
