We don't buy much pop when we are buying our shopping, it is usually a 'holiday' item such as Christmas/Birthdays or a BBQ, but we find when on holiday in the US, we do buy more soda, and there is a lot of choice over there because there is no squashes to buy or at least none that I have found. Perhaps if there was squashes and cordials sold there, kids would drink them rather than Soda, not a great alternative but the calories would be diluted by the water.
