Brad Pitt has revealed his parenting secret — giving his kids Coca-Cola.
“Listen, I admit there’s times like, ‘We gotta get up. Get up! Here’s your shoes. Here’s your shoes. Drink this Coke. Drink this Coca-Cola. Drink it all. Right now! Drink it! Drink it! Drink it!’ Just so we could get ‘em up and going,” Pitt told CBS’ “Sunday Morning” last weekend.

Pitt, who’s nominated for a Best Actor Oscar at this month’s Academy Awards, has six children — three biological and three adopted — with partner Angelina Jolie.
It’s unclear if he meant that the caffeine in the soda helped his brood get going in the morning, or if the promise of a sugary beverage was simply a bribe to get them out of bed.
Pitt will almost certainly be criticized for the statement, as sodas are high in sugar and are only recommended for kids in moderation.
