When it comes to summer and nostalgia, nothing screams those two things like a Capri Sun. Some of my fondest memories from my childhood include hanging out with my friends and sipping the pouch that deserves the ultimate respect.
Now, with the Summer Solstice arriving on June 20, the iconic brand is celebrating with their longest pouch yet.
In case you missed science class (or just blocked it out), the summer solstice marks the day with the most sunlight all year. We're talking about a glorious 15 hours of rays, which is perfect for tanning, picnicking, or playing America's favorite new sport: pickleball.
But more importantly, Capri Sun has an extra long pouch that appropriately fits the occasion. The pouch is 15 inches tall and holds 20 ounces of juice — more than three times the amount of a standard pouch. In addition to the pouch, it comes with a special extra long straw and a 64-ounce jug to ensure that your thirst is quenched all day long.
“With nearly 200 million of our iconic pouches enjoyed between June and September, Capri Sun is the ultimate summer beverage,” said Jessica Barker, senior brand manager, in a statement. “So what better way to officially kick off the season than with our longest pouch ever? After all, when the sun stays out longer, your juice should too.”
If you’re looking to snag one, it’ll be available exclusively on Walmart.com starting Monday for just $1.50. But move fast — because if childhood taught us anything, it’s that Capri Suns don’t last long. Especially not one that is way bigger than the classic.
And let’s be honest: much like rewatching a pre-2009 episode of SpongeBob Squarepants, you're never too old for a Capri Sun. And now, with a pouch that’s practically the size of your forearm, you can sip your way through all 15 hours of summer sunshine in style.
Whether you score the mega-pouch or settle for the classic, raise your yellow straw and toast to summer. And, of course, happy solstice!
