About
As of 2026, it's 57 years old.
Capri Sun is less a drink than a fine-motor-skills exam. The shiny foil pouch and its tiny straw turned every juice break into a high-stakes operation: aim wrong and you either can't pierce it or you blast the straw clean out the other side and spray juice across the table.
Invented in Germany in 1969, the squishy stand-up pouch became a school-lunch icon worldwide, beloved as much for the engineering challenge as the sweet, fruity payoff.
Portable, nostalgic, and mildly hazardous, Capri Sun is the only beverage that doubles as a dexterity test.
