It was about the thrill of jabbing that flimsy little straw through the tiny foil hole without missing, tossing one into your lunchbox, and drinking something cold and sugary at the beach like your life depended on it. It was a juice-pouch moment, not exactly an electrolyte one. But hydration is big now, and apparently even Capri Sun knows it has to keep up.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"1\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">The brand is rolling out Capri Sun Hydrate, a new pouch drink with electrolytes aimed specifically at kids. That is a first for Capri Sun, which has built its whole reputation on nostalgia and the occasional straw-related injury, not sports-drink territory.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"2\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">The new line will come in Fruit Punch, Tropical Punch, and Lemon Lime, and Capri Sun says it is made with Vitamin E, contains 50 percent less sugar than leading regular sports drinks, and skips artificial flavors, colors, and preservatives.<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"watch-next\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-22\" data-node-id=\"3\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"4\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Parents want something that feels a little more functional than a standard juice pouch, and Capri Sun, which already has the kid-brand recognition part locked down, is now trying to move into that in-between lane of \u201cstill fun\u201d and \u201cslightly more purposeful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"5\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Capri Sun Hydrate will start showing up at major retailers nationwide, including Walmart, Target, and Amazon. Whether kids will see it as a true sports-drink replacement or just another pouch in the rotation remains to be seen.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"6\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">But if Capri Sun can get them to drink electrolytes with the same enthusiasm they once reserved for sticky Fruit Punch at age 8, that is probably a win.<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"editorial-link\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-23\" data-node-id=\"7\" class=\"embed\">\n<aside class=\"css-u95ltk e94w1mj3\"\/><\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2 min read Capri Sun is launching Capri Sun Hydrate, its first electrolyte drink designed specifically for kids.
