    "LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Ten children at a day care center drank windshield wiper fluid after a staffer served it from a container mistaken for Kool-Aid and placed in a refrigerator, authorities said Friday....The windshield wiper fluid was bought with several other items on a recent shopping trip, James told The Associated Press. "This product was mistakenly grabbed and thought to be Kool-Aid and put in the refrigerator," she said."

    Yikes! What I find strange is that the windshield washer I use comes with a child proof cap (push-and-twist) and is sealed under the cap. Could this not be the case for what's sold in Ark.?

    and one sniff should tell you it aint kool-aid.

    But you bring up a good point, was the fluid moved to another container first (I can't imagine why anyone would do that)

    Me thinks there might be more to the story???
