Wendy’s removes soda from kids’ meal menus

Fast-food chain Wendy’s has removed soda as a beverage option with kids’ meals.

While soda will no longer appear as a menu option, customers can still order a soda with a kid’s meal.

Bob Bertini, a spokesman for Wendy's told USA Today that soda was never the default beverage choice for kids' meals. Customers can choose from 1% white or chocolate milk, 100% juice or bottled water.
