Elementary school packed lunches were the best. Think back to the memories of handwritten notes on napkins, Uncrustable sandwiches, and maybe even a Danimal if your parents really loved you. You thought life couldn't get any better, until it did. It would get cray when you reached into the dark abyss of your lunchbox and pulled out a Capri Sun, letting everyone know you were the coolest kid in the third grade. While there are no bad Capri Sun flavors, some are more popular than others. Here are the 10 best Capri Sun flavors, in my humble opinion.
10. Grape
This is not the grape juice your grandparents drink to help their digestion. This Grape Capri Sun is for slurping down desperately after you've been declared the MVP of your soccer game.
9. Orange
The Orange Capri Sun is for when you want orange juice without an overwhelming sensation of oranges and pulp. While this still has real orange fruit flavor, it's sweetened with sugar, meaning you get a nice mellow orange taste.
8. Red Berry
If you want a break from being bootylicious, try being berrylicious for once. The Red Berry Capri Sun has all of your fave berries like strawberry and raspberry, so you can be your best berrylicious self.
7. Surfer Cooler
Surf's up, bro. Make sure to chug down this gnarly Surfer Cooler Capri Sun before hitting the waves for a totally wicked explosion in your mouth. For the love of the surf gods, don't lose your Capri Sun straw in the sand.
6. Wild Cherry
It's about to get turnt up in here with Wild Cherry. This flavor seems to find its way into every little league drink cooler for sluggers to enjoy after the game. Wild Cherry is one of the staple Capri Sun flavors that everyone knows and loves.
5. Strawberry Kiwi
Strawberry Kiwi is one of those combos that should be so simple to make, but some people don't know how to do it. Thankfully, Capri Sun knows exactly what it's doing with refreshing strawberry and kiwi fruit flavoring.
4. Tropical Punch
If you want to escape your cold college campus, take an imaginary trip to paradise with Tropical Punch. With the citrus, cherry, and apple flavors, you might think you're on an exotic beach lounging with a fancy drink instead of chugging down some coffee to get through the day.
3. Lemonade
Capri Sun's lemonade has always been my favorite lemonade to drink. It's not overly sweet, and it has a real lemon flavor. This tastes like actual lemonade made with the fruit, unlike other artificially flavored stuff at the grocery store.
2. Fruit Punch
First of all, I apologize for using a picture with a minion on it. I know how much people detest these yellow things, but this one on the pouch is rockin' those red shorts. Fruit punch is such a basic flavor that everyone knows, and Capri Sun really puts an emphasis on the fruit flavor in this punch.
1. Pacific Cooler
Pacific Cooler comes in first because it has a unique flavor combination of pears, grapes, orange, pineapple, and apple. This flavor is perfect for when you want a healthy juice drink that doesn't taste like every other juice you've had before.
It's hard to narrow down the best Capri Sun flavors when every single one tastes good. All flavors are free of artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives, so it's a fantastic drink alternative to juices filled with sugar and unnatural dyes. I've also heard that Capri Suns make great boozy slushies, so now you can make your favorite childhood drink into your favorite adult drink.
