Random: Nintendo Teams Up With Capri Sun To "Slurp To Win" Switch OLED (US)

Nintendo always does these cross-promotions like with Lunchables, but they usually just have a picture of Mario on the side of the box. Having the whole juice pouch just be one of multiple game boxes is kind of awesome.

I'm curious, does anyone know how these giveaways reflect on financial reports? Does this count as 500 additional Switch units being shipped?

And lastly, inb4 the inevitable dirty jokes about that tag line....

I wish they still made the original Capri Sun’s that made all of us kids HYPER in the 90s. So much sugar everywhere in the 90s. They were really good frozen too.

But I’m sad this promotion doesn’t include the cherry flavor. That was the best one!

People here in Mexico would probably call the MK8D one something like "sabor Mario Carritos".

Also, just noticed, but I'm really happy Nintendo continues to promote Pikmin and included it alongside their two best-sellers, Mario Kart and Animal Crossing. They could've easily went with Splatoon or Smash instead. This is very good, and hopefully they do the same with other games like Metroid Prime 4.

Didn't even take long for a NintendoCapriSun joke, lol.

Wonder what he thinks about this.

Thank goodness. I refuse to eat or drink anything unless it has Nintendo cobranding. I've been feeling light-headed for so long

WE'RE FRUIT PUNCHING THIS B****!!!

I still love a Capri Sun to this day. Always looking for an excuse to buy them for the kids so I can grab one for myself.

Cheery flavour is hands down the best though.

Damn. Now all I want is a Samurai Goroh Cherry flavour Capri Sun.

Many will enter. But only few will win.

I don't care about the Switch, gimme my Mario Kart capri sun

Animal Ceossing and a Pacific cooler, for the GOAT..

@johnvboy FINALLY! All this chatter about the cherry flavor had me thinking that people didn't know that Pacific Cooler is in fact the best.

I would've rocked these in primary school!

Please come to england.

@Not_Soos I don't think they would do it with Prime 4 because it is probably gonna be rated T.
All the games they promote in this way are accessible to kids which is probably why Smash isn't shown.

Sure I want to wreck my blood sugar today.

I had no idea Capri-sun was still a thing, I remember the adverts from ye old 90s.

God I haven’t had a Capri-Sun in a long time… The fruit punch and strawberry kiwis were my favorites

Can't seem to find out when these will be available at the grocery store...anyone know if these are out yet?

I need a full box of Pikmin 4 Strawberry Kiwi immediately

Slurping doesn't fly around here. Gross.

Haven't had a Capri Sun in ages, but I love to see Pikmin alongside Animal Crossing and Mario Kart in this promotion.

Awesome Capri Sun Adverstisement!

I know there is/was a streamer and/or Youtuber will literally this combination for their user name.
Wow, that guy got shafted on this deal, probably.

@Greenmanalishi I tried one a few years ago. It felt like water with a slight flavor (although maybe the variety was specifically that. "Roaring Waters", IDK).
I had some Kool-Aid Kool Bursts lately and they held up better. Though kind of annoying that the lid is practically impossible to remove without spilling some of the precious little juice that was of course sized for a child-appropriate appetite.

Few things I dread more than my kids asking for help to put the straw in these pouches, but I'll buy some packs to up our chances for a Switch of their own.

@Desrever,

I am here to inform, as well as entertain,

Not having it. Palword Capri Sun enthusiast only

@ThatZeldaNerd where are you now?
London is a no-go area.

@imadeanaccount,

How very dare you........ my lawyers will be in touch.

@CharlieZee,

You can go to London..... you just might not come back.

@johnvboy true.
Where are you now though?

@KingMike I think they removed the high fructose corn syrup. And yes, it tastes very watery now. I will buy a pack every now and then to freeze, but the flavor settles at the bottom of the bag (? I couldn’t think of the right word). Even then, it has a tiny amount of said flavor and sweetness. 🥺

@CharlieZee,

Stuck in London, on an open top bus, bloody chilly I can tell you.

@johnvboy no, you said you miss living in the uk so are you in another country?

They are at my grocery store. Grabbed the animal crossing pack.

@CharlieZee,

I live in the U.K, in a small town near Manchester, they was not me that said I missed living in the U.K, someone else on here, I think.

Conveniently enough, I have the Mario Kart Capri Sun drinks in my fridge. About a dozen of them to be honest. They aren't for me though, they are for my son, I promise. 😉

I may be convinced to pick up a pack of Capri Sun for nostalgia sake after this
