Capri Sun is leveling up its marketing and giving people a better deal after the release of a brand new, bigger product that’s sure to catch the attention of the people, adults in particular. Capri Sun is now offering their popular Fruit Punch flavor for a larger 960z jug size. This is really big and exciting news for people who grew up sipping the smaller version of the Fruit Punch.
You might be asking two questions right now: “How much sugar is in it?” and “Can it be used in a mixed drink?” Well, the answer to the first question is that there are 10 grams of sugar in every 8 ounces. As for the second question, it’s pretty clear that many are excited at the idea of mixing it up for a fun adult beverage.
You can find these jugs at stores like Sam’s Club, Costco, and BJ’s Wholesale, often available in a handy two-pack. If you’re shopping at Sam’s Club, you can expect to pay around $6.48 for it.
A Bit Of Capri Sun History
Originally, Capri Sonne (what Capri Sun means in German!) was its first name in Europe, where it was sold out. However, because it won such approval after a few years that even American companies decided to start producing it here too, the drink got onto the United States’ market in 1981 under the name Capri Sun. Therefore, children could use those still-famous packets of the drink to play and beat thirst at the same time being ensured that the process is safe.
With a variety of delicious flavors like fruit punch and orange, there was something for everyone to enjoy. And Capri Sun didn’t stop there! Over the years, they’ve continued to innovate, introducing new flavors and even sugar-conscious options like Capri Sun Roarin’ Waters.

From The Club
If you’re always not satisfied with a smaller Fruit Punch from Capri Sun, I know you’ll be excited too after hearing that they released a bigger and better fruit punch with a 96oz jug! It’s crazy to think, but for me, as an adult, this is probably the right amount, lol. But mind you, the bigger it is, the higher the sugar content, so keep that in mind if you’re somewhat diabetic. Luckily, you can get these for only $6.48 at stores like Sam’s Club, BJ’s Wholesale, and Costco.
