What was the blue 'juice' young Christopher was drinking in the beginning??? It did not seem like juice to me, but he did not get sick, so I am curious to get at least one answer that makes sense from this movie :-) Thank you!
shareIt probably could be almost anything. I drink a sports drink called "NOS" which is blue and I notice many other blue drinks on the non-traditional shelves.
God might, I won't.

It was just a sugar drink. I used to drink stuff like that all the time when I was a kid. It's basically sugar and water in a bottle. They come in all different colors and have no nutritional value. But they taste good. :)
Think of it like a Kool-Aid type drink.
Aha Thank you! I was just confused because the oldest boy asked the nanny near the end: 'Why is this drink so blue?' but his little brother drank it earlier without any health consequences. Anyway, thanks again!
shareIt was a deeper blue than the pastel juice. Think toilet bowl cleaner vs kool-aide.
shareThere are a few lines of "juices" that are pure sugar, water and dye that are blue; however, it is very clear that she did not give the kids juice.
First, she is stirring the contents of the glasses... there's no need to stir juice.
Second, the kid asks why the juice is blue... if they had blue juice in the house, he wouldn't be asking this question.
Third, Emelie answers the question by saying that it is going to make them go to sleep.
Fourth, the very next scene we see the older boy trying to make himself vomit, and after three tries he vomits into the plant.
Fifth, Emelie is then seen carrying one of the kids up to bed while on the phone with the parents, so it is clear that the kid she is carrying, Christopher, is drugged, as should be the second kid, since those two didn't vomit, which is what should be assumed until they show us proof later that the little girl is also out cold when her big brother tries to rescue her.
Sixth, the kid who did vomit is perfectly fine.
So from there you can make speculations, like trying to think of what is dark blue that would make you sleep that would be in a house... well, NyQuil. You could guess anti-freeze, but that is unlikely because that is poison and it is light blue (the kid asked why the juice was dark blue).
When I can see that a movie is mediocre, sometimes I decide to multitask by doing work around the house or catching up on emails or going to IMDB to read the reviews to determine if it the movie is worth my time and finding what to watch next. Which means I'm hardly watching the film. So if I'm hardly watching this AND I can spot the six different things, then what exactly were you and the other two people who answered your post saying that it was juice doing while you were watching this? How hard is it to even figure this out? It seems the world has A.D.D. and a general inability to make sound conclusions based upon very clear facts when watching shows and film. This is why we have dumbed-down plots with narrators explaining even the simplest of theories, because there is this surprisingly large population of people who "don't get" this or that.
The other posters said it was juice because...it was juice. There was a lengthy scene early on where the youngest kid asks for juice and the babysitter tells him to get it himself, but it's out of his reach on a high rack on the wall. While she's telling the older kid to eat all of the cookies he licked, the little boy stacks chairs against the wall so he can get a bottle from the six pack of BLUE juice on the rack. He then carries on making a big spectacle of drinking it.
Later when she is drugging the kids, the older boy doesn't ask why the juice is blue. He asks why it's DARKER blue, since it's now discolored from the drug she stirred into it.
It never fails that the uppity clown who writes a 1,000 word manifesto complaining about people who didn't pay attention turns out to be the one who gets everything completely wrong lol
Though it was a bit silly. I'm an adult and if I drank a blue sports drink then someone gave me a slightly darker blue coloured drink, I wouldn't even notice it's darker. :P
It would have been better if he asked "Why do we have to drink this?" instead of commenting on a slight shade change :P
Yes. The scene was retarded. They have blue juice all over in their home. But just because a little dark blue juice is introduced, the kid becomes suspicious. WTF.

It's windshield wiper fluid that is blue

If you work with airlines the first thing you'll think of when someone say blue juice, is the stuff in the airplane's toilet. Port-a-potties use the same chemical
shareAgain, more snotty retorts on an underwhelming film's message board that have nothing to do with the OP's question.. It's obvious it wasn't antifreeze or toilet bowl cleaner; that wouldn't put anyone to sleep, just make you sick or die a VERY slow, painful death. My guess it was the blue sports drink the kids all loved from the beginning, mixed with some water-soluble sedative like GHB or crushed up xanax; obviously something that would knock out a young child pretty quickly.
I DO wish filmmakers would go back to showing the labels of whatever the protagonist/antagonist uses, however. I just watched a film last week where they didn't show what the lady took to kill herself; the more biochemically-obsessed like myself simply need closure instead of just half guessing a dozen substances of what/how the person in question dozed off or died so suddenly like that!
