Juice may taste good, but unlike the fruit, it’s not healthy

I'm not quite parsing the logic of doing this.

If she is getting fooled that carbonated water is 'juice', then I'm assuming she doesn't know what juice actually is and therefore has no association of juice = sugar drink. So why the need to trick your daughter?

Couldn't you have just called it 'fizzy water', or if water is associated with 'boring', call it 'fizzy drink'. She'd still get it from the bar and have the excitement of that.

Probably the kid just learned through cultural osmosis that juice is a good treat for kids and so naturally the kid wants it.

The word juice shows up and is spoken all over the place.

Sounds like you parsed it just fine. It was just an error in the actual logic.
