remember those good ol' drinks we should to take to school? (or still drink on a regular basis ;-) )

I for one, hate squeeze drinks. It never fails that one of the kids squeezes too hard and it ends up all over them.

:stupid:

I second that emotion... I usually take DFJs "squeeze drink" and squeeze it into a spill proof cup... :D

man, i always wanted those when i was a kid and of course my mom would never get them for me because....oh....they're only 90% sugar or something :bawl: :heh:

Heh . . . right up my alley . . . I work on Capri Sun, Kool-Aid Jammers and Kool-Aid Bursts . . . so if you folks took the poll, you'd better have chosen one of them! :halo:

I don't know as much about Bursts as I do about Capri Sun and Jammers, but the pouches are not exactly meant for kids under 6. Kids under 6 often don't have enough tactile coordination to manage them terribly well . . . leading to the over-squeezing and the spilling.

As far as the healthiness of them goes . . . they are better than colas and at least as good as other "Fruit Drinks." There is 10% Fruit Juice in each pouch (not so sure about Bursts) and they are all-natural. Also, there is a new Capri Sun pouch drink that just launched that is 100% Fruit Juice (CS FruitWaves) . . . and a new version of Kool-Aid Jammers with only 10 calories (KAJ 10)

ANDDD . . . for those of you who are older and reminiscent (college age), there is a new Capri Sun in a "bottle can" (first packaging of its type in the US . . . continuing CS's position as a packaging leader, since they were the first to come out with pouches) . . . the new CS is called Capri Sun Refreshers . . . www.liquidchill.com . . . check it out ;)

OK, I'm done now!

Only indirectly . . . I'm in advertising . . . Kraft is my client

They're called "squeeze drinks" cause you can easily squeeze a good portion of it onto the floor, if not your face/crotch, when you stab it with the straw.

Dayuuum... and I was about to ask if you could "hook us up" with a deal for some drinks.

DFJ loves the "Kool Aid Jammers". :thumb:

do you visit Kraft plants?

[Butch]

do you visit Kraft plants?

Nope . . . not the production plants. When we go see our clients, we spend our time with the brand business teams in Westchester.

if you register you can submit your own reviews to drinks they dont have.


has anyone seen those crazy pouch drinks in Europe with twist tops similar to orange juice cartons here?

Any one remember orbitz? It wasn't a squeeze drink like mondo, it was in a bottle, but it had little bits of candy/fruit snack things in it. It looked f*ing gross, but wasn't bad.

Does anyone know if they still make Squeeze-Its? I remember they once said to save 15 of them and use them as bowling pins. That was fun.....not.

Squeez-It is pretty much dead. I think they discontinued it in 2002 or so . . .
