Why do we not give mints with kid size drinks?

The reasoning for not giving mints with kid size drinks is based on safety concerns, particularly the risk of choking. Children, especially younger ones, may not be able to handle small items like mints safely. Since mints are a small, solid object, they pose a greater risk in terms of choking hazards for children, who might not chew them properly or might swallow them whole. Prioritizing safety is crucial in any service environment, especially when catering to children, which is why this precaution is taken.
