Just last night I went out to my local Walter Martins and bought all the regular flavors of Capri Sun. First of all, I know these aren’t all the flavors. I know I’m missing at least Grape. I swear I also saw Orange one day too. And I just remembered I’m missing Wild Cherry, but I left that out since that was the last box I went through. But out of the 8: Strawberry-Kiwi, Splash Cooler, Tropical Punch, Mountain Cooler, Pacific Cooler, Fruit Punch, Strawberry and Lemonade.
Bottom line: the “Coolers” taste very, very similar to each other. You probably wouldn’t notice. I can’t say why but I can tell you what each is different.
- Splash has possibly a light citrus taste.
- Mountain has a berry taste, like mixed berries.
- Pacific is possibly due to the pineapple.
Surely you can figure these things out by looking at the pictures on the box/pouch, but overall, you almost can’t tell the difference.
- Lemonade is okay. I probably won’t buy it again like Grape.
- Grape? No sir, I didn’t like it.
- Strawberry tastes watered down.
- Strawberry-Kiwi, however, has a stronger presence.
- Wild Cherry, I’m ashamed to admit, I don’t remember. It was okay, I think.
- Tropical and Fruit Punch, you can’t really go wrong.
Who wins? Well for me I think it might be between Pacific and one of the Punches… like Tropical.
What say you?
But on this fantastic afternoon, I’m going to say it was an evil crumb from a phantom cake that must’ve fallen on and into the keypad. Specially, the #1 button. If it wasn’t that, perhaps some menacing angry coffee drop from a hastily placed mug fresh from being brewed and painfully sipped (due to the freshly brewed part). Or maybe it was just a ghost. I don’t know, but while dialing a certain New York area code, I somehow managed to dial 1-9-1-1. I may have dialed a few more numbers after that, but as we all know, I “Mozart” the keypad, so it’s difficult to say. I quickly hung up, and began redial. 3.8 nanoseconds later, in the midst of the other call I had just dialed, I see an incoming call with “YOURCITY’S PD!” on the called ID. I’m quite unclear as to whom this is, or why, not even considering the accidental blunder I made. I didn’t even know this caller ID was able to produce exclamation points (!). Since no one had picked up the line I was calling, I quickly jumped over to the new call.
The baseball cop asked me what happened as he took out his notepad. I explained it was all an accidental misdial and he understood. He then showed me the picture he drew of a little piggy. The banshee cop returned, said everything was alright, and went back into his car that was still on fire and drove away. The other cop asked me if I was a Yankee or Red Sox fan. I told him I like New York, hoping it was the right answer, and he proceeded to tell me how the game was going, as if I had actually cared to begin with. I don’t think he cared about my response either way, as he turned and walked back to his car, exclaiming that he was missing the game.
