The SuperV is Super Gone
Allow me to pull back the curtains for a moment and reveal that there is an honest-to-goodness PROCESS that happens when I get a product to review. I get the product. I try the product. I write about the product. It's not a complicated process, but IT EXISTS.
And yet here I sit with a product to write about, but I DON'T HAVE ANY OF IT.
There was a whole bunch of Capri Sun Super V in my house. A WHOLE BUNCH. But it happened to arrive while Alexis and I were out of town. By the time we returned, it seems that a few of the pouches of the new, healthier juice drink had vanished. Like magic. And then Alexis got wind that there were juice pouches in the fridge, and the rest vanished. Like magic. POOF!
I never even got to try one. I live with savages, clearly.
So I guess that means that the savages were fans of the Fruit Punch flavor? They have both requested I go buy more, so I guess that's what it means.
The weird thing is that Alexis isn't generally a fan of juice. She has her moments, but for the most part, juice pouches can last months in our fridge. I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that the reason she likes the Capri Sun Super V juice pouches is they aren't filled with water, sugar, and artificial junk.
No. Really. They aren't.
The ingredients: Water; Grape, Apple, and Sweet Potato Juice Concentrates; Soluble Corn Fiber; Carrot Juice Concentrate; Citric Acid; Strawberry Juice Concentrate; Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C); Natural Flavor; Vitamin E Acetate; Beta-Carotene.
Somehow, some way, the little alien who prefers lima beans to cheese puffs can sense that the Capri Sun Super V juice pouches are healthy.
HOW DOES SHE DO THAT?
I quizzed the little health nut to see if she could taste the healthy. Her response?
"It tastes like mixed fruit juice. Like . . . fruit punch. Let me think here . . . this juice is so yummy I didn't want to stop drinking it! It tastes a little bit sweet and it's good. It's really good."
So I guess she can't taste the healthy. She just plain likes Capri Sun Super V.
Considering the ingredients, I'm OK with that.
