Capri Sun is truly the drink of the damned

[philosophie_en_rose]

I still remember the drink of the damned that is Capri Sun.

How lame, how frustrating, how sticky it was to stab that squishy silver pouch, only for the straw to slide around until it eventually pierced both sides of the pouch.

But Pacific Cooler was my favorite flavor. Why the hell would someone drink a Martini, when they're eight years old and have Capri Sun lying around?

The Strawberry-Kiwi is also delicious, as well as refreshing, but actually is more tangy than the Pacific Cooler. In the Pacific Cooler, the first thing you taste is the sweet justice of corn syrup and the bite of citric acid, which is immediately mellowed by the beauty of artificial flavoring. Also, Cherry mellows the sweetness of Pacific Cooler. Use a top shelf Cherry Capri Sun.

A great thing to do is to pour a Strawberry in a glass, and then when it arrives tell your friend it's a variant of Wine Coolers (it looks like one) and to take a sip. Your friends won't know the difference. They drink wine coolers.

Edit: it may or may not be frozen, depending on whether you want to trick school children into trying to suck a block of ice through a straw.

1. Duh

If you stab it through the bottom it won't go through the other side of the package. :P

[Lethe]

3. so uncouth!

if they would have wanted us to stab in the the nether regions they would have made a bluish circle on the bottom of the drink!!!

Such nerve!!

I say!

6. Exactly!

And Capri Sun isn't Capri Sun, unless someone stabs themselves with plastic.

[Lethe]

2. Take thy beak from out my heart and take thy form from off my door

Capri Sun's sucked because you could never stab the juice pouch in the right spot. Most of the time it would go completely through it rendering your juice box useless.

Also, you shall be destroyed for your insolence.

4. Nevermore!

If they didn't want you to stab the thing in the bottom, they would have made the target a lot better.

5. i can't disagree with that

i recuse myself from commenting further on the grounds that I am half-drunk and want to make remarks that would be considered in the gutter

7. every time I tried to put a straw in those pouches, it ended up either

squirting me on my clothes or the straw went out the other side, my kids had the knack of getting the straw in just right.

8. It was like a mass practical joke on schoolkids.

I think they make them differently now...

9. I never had many problems with 'em.

All y'all are just incompetents at straw insertion. :P

Now, milk in bags--that was a schoolchild's hell.

[philosophie_en_rose]

10. Milk in bags?

Really?

[WritingIsMyReligion]

11. Hell yes.

Agony. Impossible to punch a straw through those things properly...there was no designated hole for it. You just had to stab and pray you only stabbed through the top, not all the way through the bag.

12. Sunny D is

that's some nasty ass shit

[philosophie_en_rose]

13. Ugh. Sunny "D"

:puke:

[Whoa_Nelly]

14. Yuck! Capri Sun drinks always hurt my throat

My son used to love'em when he was younger.
Every time I tried one, my throat would burn.

Made me wonder what was really in those drinks...

[philosophie_en_rose]

15. It's surprisingly corrosive for something so sweet.
