A bubbly, non-alcoholic children's drink for sale in Alberta liquor stores has upset Mothers Against Drunk Driving.

Robby Bubble comes in a champagne-style bottle with colourful cartoon characters on the label and the words "Party, Party!"
On the drink's website, children are shown dancing with a cartoon band and drinking the sparkling fruit juice out of champagne flutes. The product's slogan is "Celebrate like the grown-ups."

....

Weinbren said a few hundred bottles were ordered by one chain of liquor stores in Alberta, and the drink isn't being sold anywhere else. Robby Bubble hasn't sold as well as the liquor store chain had hoped and he doesn't expect the company to place another order.
