PITTSBURGH and CHICAGO, April 24,
2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Capri Sun, parent-approved
and kid-beloved brand, today unveiled Capri Sun Sport, a new
flavored water beverage designed with kids in mind for their
recreational or moderate activities. Made with a blend of
electrolytes and water, 20 percent less sugar* and 25 percent fewer
calories** than leading sports drinks, Capri Sun Sport will
help keep active kids hydrated and ready for the next big game,
whether it be baseball or "tag, you're it."
Capri Sun Sport has no high-fructose corn syrup,
artificial colors, flavors or preservatives, giving kids the taste
they love without ingredients their moms and dads don't.
"We know that parents want to keep their kids hydrated, but
they're wary of adult sports drinks," said Andrew Louie, Brand Manager, Capri Sun.
"That's why we created Capri Sun Sport – with a blend of
electrolytes and water. It's the perfect drink to keep active
kids hydrated whether they're riding their bike, rollerblading or
playing baseball."
Just in time for spring sports seasons, new Capri Sun
Sport is now available at retailers nationwide in three flavors,
including Citrus Rush, Fruit Frenzy and Grape Blast.
Capri Sun Sport retails for $2.49 per 10 pack of 6 oz. pouches. For more
