Manufacturer's Brand Overview: [Edit]
Capri Sun® has been a leader in packaging innovation for over 20 years, so it is no surprise that Capri Sun, with the new Capri Sun Island Refreshers™ line, is the first in the US to launch a juice drink in a revolutionary aluminum "bottle-can." The 16.5 oz. unique, re-sealable "bottle-can" not only looks "liquid cool", but also chills faster than glass and fits nicely in the cup holder of your car. The larger size is perfect to quench the bigger thirsts of teens and young adults, and Capri Sun Island Refreshers have a great fruity taste that is specially formulated for the taste preferences of this age group. Capri Sun Island Refreshers® are available in 4 delicious flavors: • Tropical Fruit • Strawberry Kiwi • Orange Dragonfruit • Lemon Tea Now you can find Capri Sun Island Refreshers® at your local convenience and drug stores. The 15 "bottle-can" pack will be coming soon to your local Club store.

Lemon Tea
Category: Tea: Sweetened; Packaging: 16.5 fl oz

BevNET Review:
Capri Sun Lemon Tea is, literally, instant iced tea in a nice looking package. The quality of the tea is so low, in fact, we're not sure it really is tea. Regardless, the flavor is palatable and most likely will be a hit with children due to its rather high level of sweetness. The only thing that we really like about this product is the look of the package. However, in our tests, it was very hard to reseal the cap. Mediocre at best.

Orange Dragonfruit
Category: Juice: Juice Drink; Packaging: 16.5 fl oz

BevNET Review:
Orange Dragonfruit is our favorite flavor of the brand. Why? Well for one it's the simplest flavor of the line. Featuring a base of apple and pear juices that have been combined with other natural flavors, this product has the simplest flavor out of the brand. It's also the most similar to the Capri Sun drink box products. Quality certainly isn't the best, but if you take it for what it is, it's not bad. The packaging is unique and rather eye cathing and the overall flavor is great if you want a sugar fix.

Strawberry Kiwi
Category: Juice: Juice Drink; Packaging: 16.5 fl oz

BevNET Review:
Strawberry Kiwi is your basic HFCS sweetened 10% juice beverage. It really has very little fruit taste and instead tastes more like sugar and flavorings. The juices used are apple and pear -- nothing too special here. In addition, since this product is being marketed at kids, we must point out that the closure on this package appears to be under high pressure. It was, in fact, very hard to reseal this product as well. Overall, this product needs a lot of work to be a high quality product.

Tropical Fruit
Category: Juice: Juice Drink; Packaging: 16.5 fl oz

BevNET Review:
Tropical Fruit Capri Sun is very similar to the Kiwi Strawberry flavor. Basically, it doesn't have a real distinct fruit flavor but rather a falvor that is basically like a fruit punch flavor. Like the other varieties, this product has 10% apple and pear juice, which is essentially filler and does not have an impact on the flavor. Seeing as this product is marketed at kids, we'd recommend adding more juice and reducing the level of high fructose corn syrup used in this prouct.
