Capri Sun shoots for the Moon … Punch
Are the glow-in-dark pouches an out-of-this-world drink?
In the immortal words of President John F. Kennedy, “We choose to go to the Moon Punch in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.”
Wait. That’s not quite right.
While the 35th president of the United States of America was issuing a challenge for the country to reach the moon by the end of the 1960s, I’m here to talk about another innovation: Capri Sun Moon Punch.
To commemorate March’s Blood Moon, Capri Sun released a special flavor that came in eight glow-in-the-dark pouches. (No, Moon Punch itself doesn’t glow in the dark. It’s not Sour Patch Kids Glow Ups.)
“Whether you grew up drinking from the iconic pouch or are one of the millions of kids who name Capri Sun as their favorite drink, we strive to create moments of fun and discovery, helping to unleash peak kid energy with every poke of the straw,” Capri Sun’s Jessica Barker said in a statement. “Playing off the iconic brand name, we’re looking from the sun to the moon for the very first time! Moon Punch is here, and it’s glowing.”
Despite the total lunar eclipse happening last month, I didn’t see Moon Punch available until last week. Was the belated celebration of the celestial event worth it?
