Online, Capri Sun customers have shared videos documenting how they freeze Capri Sun pouches to create icy, refreshing snacks, so the iconic kids drink brand dropped Capri Sun Straw Pops. Exclusively available in the United States through Walmart's website, Capri Sun Straw Pops take the form of reusable silicone molds that turn the brand's drinks into DIY ice pops.
Named, colored and shaped like the brand's signature straws, the molds are ideal for filling with the contents of a multi-serve bottle, especially for batching frozen treats for the whole family. This nostalgic launch aligns with families who want to embrace "90s summer" experiences—meaning less time absorbed in a screen and more moments savoring more present moments with face-to-face time together—and the Capri Sun Straw Pops sold out in minutes.
