Yahoo Lifestyle No, Capri Sun Isn't Changing Its Iconic Packaging
Turns out you can't believe everything you read online! Fans of Capri Sun, that iconic childhood drink famous for its pouch packaging, were up in arms this week after a report showed an all-new bottled beverage.
Instagram account @snackolator started the frenzy with a photo of the new bottled drink, writing, "Capri Sun is coming for the adults with new bottles that will be arriving in stores soon! These were announced for the upcoming NACS show and will be in three flavors (at least) to start: Fruit Punch, Strawberry Kiwi, and Pacific Cooler. Each bottle is 12oz and won't need you to have to find the spot to poke the straw in and hope that it doesn't come shooting back at you! Are you excited for these?"
Judging by the comments, it's safe to say fans were not excited. They left messages like, "simply won’t hit the same without the straw" and "I prefer the pouch 😂 maybe it’s the nostalgia 😂." Others wrote, "This doesn’t sit well with my spirit" and "This is criminal."
The account returned to the comments section days later to clarify, "For those who have been hearing (incorrect) reports, the pouches are not going anywhere! This is *in addition* to give adults (and probably teens) an option who might want some Capri Sun without walking around with a pouch."
The Capri Sun brand itself took to Instagram to clear the air with a post that reads, "Don’t believe everything you read on the internet - we’d never disrespect the pouch and they’re here to stay! Starting next week you can buy a whole pallet of Capri Sun pouches. Find us at Walmart."
According to People, the bottled version will be in stores in 2025. The company said, "The single-serve bottles are an innovation slated for next year!"
Will you try the new bottles or stick with the pouch?
