It's what they call an Idiot Plot because it wouldn't work if anyone had a functioning brain. You halfway expect Lee Salem to ask her why she gave the Patterson family small brains.....before ordering Prowl to seal them in the same cave the Dinobots were in.
Once Lynn got over 2000 newspapers carrying her comic strip, I suspect Lee Salem let her do whatever she wanted. The comic strip does not age well when looked again for quality of writing, but back in the day, it was selling very well because the fans tended to overlook these labored setups.
"Hey April, do you want to split a bottle of this invisible liquid that could easily be mistaken for water? I'll use a measuring cup even though you aren't even in the room to make sure it's been shared perfectly evenly and then leave the cup on the counter instead of putting it in the fridge so a bad joke can happen."
Plus- anyone who has spent any time with toddlers knows that April will never drink that soda. She's already moved on to something else. If it weren't used in the iron by an idiot who apparently can't smell liquid until it's heated, it would have just gone flat and been dumped in the sink.
