The brand's flavors like Raspberry and Chocolate come to life with color-coded packages, each of which introduces a different creature. The design includes charming details like an eyeball atop the screw-top cap, a built-in cut-out coupon, as well as nutritional information that's depicted in a series of easy-to-read pictographs. Parents will also appreciate seeing details on the cartons that note the beverages are made with natural ingredients—without artificial flavors and colors—and are enriched with calcium and vitamins.
