If you read my blog on a regular basis you might recall my tour of Kraft facility where creative minds come up with new Capri Sun flavors and packaging. If you happened to miss that post you can find it here – The latest innovation from Capri Sun & More Interesting Tid Bits from my Capri Sun Tour.
It was an eye opening experience. I learned a lot about not only the products but also the brand it’s self.
Capri Sun offers consumers a variety of choices, like 100% juice, Super V Fruit and Vegetable Juice Drink and Roarin’ Waters Flavored
Water Beverage.
I’m not too keen about things made with artificial coloring. I know a majority of foods today are made that way. It’s almost impossible to avoid it but I do make a conscious choice to stay away from things that are clearly made with a lot of food coloring. For example, I won’t buy or eat a cake with blue frosting (especially dark blue). Ewww!!! That is clearly filled with artificial coloring. Just the thought of eating that or serving it to my family makes my stomach turn. I think most moms and dads will agree with me.
Capri Sun DOES listen to what moms have to say. They are always looking for feedback and ideas from their consumers. It’s what helps to shape the varieties, flavors and even the packaging.
Capri Sun even created a program called Capri Sun Mom Factor which is an advisory board that you can join and let your voice be heard. It’s free to join and you can get access cool content, products and eve win great prizes.
The latest innovation from Capri Sun is their new clear bottom pouch. In the past the only way to see what the juice drink from a Capri Sun juice pouch looked like was the pour it into a glass. Now all you need to do is check out the bottom of the pouch – it’s clear! It’s like a mini-window into the juice pouch.
When I was on the tour I had posted a picture of the clear bottom pouch on my blog’s Facebook page. Someone thought the color of the juice inside looked gross and asked what it was, since normally people associate fruit punch-flavored juice drinks with a bright red color. That is because it contains artificial coloring.
I think that is an ingenious idea. Never in a million years would I think to do that. I love that I can check out the color of the beverages that my kids are drinking to see what is inside. Now it’s no longer a mystery.
Capri Sun Roarin’ Waters is a flavored water drink. It will be clear when you look at the bottom of the pouch because water is clear.
I really learned a lot that day. I even learned how to make a tote bag out of empty Capri Sun pouches. My family has been saving up their Capri Sun pouches so they can make something out of them. When they are done I carefully snip off just enough of the top of the pouch to open it, then I rinse it out so it won’t be sticky. Then I leave it opened upside down in the dish rack to dry out. We have several saved up already. I wonder what my kids will want to make with them. It will be great for a rainy day project.

I want to win this because my son loves Capri Sun. He likes to take them in his lunches. I love the idea of the clear bottom pouches.
Dorothy Reynolds says
I would like to win because my family loves Capri Suns. I drank them as a kid and my kids did/do as well. But in all honesty we haven’t bought them in a YEAR. Why? Because of the controversy (which may or may not be true) about slime being in the package. With the full silver pkgs you can not see what is in the container unless you cut open the pouch which takes away the convenience of the product. I would love to re-introduce Capri Sun to my home.
