Reply to comment by 99-bottlesofbeer in TIL that from 1991 to 2007, tobacco conglomerate Philip Morris Cos. successfully marketed Capri Sun to children, based on their executives' experience selling tobacco to young people. by 99-bottlesofbeer

Gen Xers drank it, too, but we’re used to being left out.

Lol, true. I'm an older gen xer, Capri Sun was absolutely one of my favourite drinks in the early-mid 70s. I'm not sure any other brand was available in those pouches. Never sad to find one of those in your lunch.

They were so expensive the so we only got them as a treat. Now, they’re on sale all the time so we keep them around for my daughter when she wants something besides water, which is rare.
