The drink is designed to keep the meal balanced and child-friendly. Since the serving is smaller than a regular fountain drink, it works well for kids or for adults who want a lighter beverage with their meal.

The Kids Combo as a whole is different, though, because it includes chicken fingers, fries, sauce, and breaded items, so allergens such as egg, milk, soy, wheat, and fish may be present in the full meal.

| Lemonade | None listed on drink basis |
| Sweet Tea | None listed on drink basis |
| Unsweet Tea | None listed on drink basis |
