The water commercial

So there's this add on TV right now encouraging kids to drink water. It's a truly noble effort, but we still agree that if we were kids, it probably wouldn't do the trick.

It shows all these colorful beverages (soda and juice, etc.) and then talks about how many spoonfuls of sugar they have - now there's a good way to scare kids off, mention the sugar content! Then it shows kids drinking water with fun straws and has a hoppy little jingle:
"If you have a thirst
Drink water first!
Good for kids,
Good for life!"

Nice try...
