Capri Sun Issues Kid Noise-Canceling Juice Drink Packs
ack-to-school season is upon us and parents are in the midst of never-ending to-do lists. From school supply shopping and endless forms, to sports practices and meet the teacher nights, parents often spend the only moments they have to themselves trying to keep up with the never-ending demands. With 66 percent of parents reporting being burned out, Capri Sun Juice Drink wants to give parents a much-needed break by introducing Kid Noise-Canceling Juice Drink packs, which offer parents 50 seconds of calm, in partnership with Taskrabbit.
In order to truly enjoy their 50 seconds of calm, Capri Sun Juice Drink teamed up with Taskrabbit to give parents the luxury of delegation, with recipients receiving a $100 Taskrabbit credit to outsource their responsibilities to a skilled Tasker in their area. Parents can enjoy a bit more “me time” knowing that their back-to-school to-do list is being taken care of. From cleaning to home repairs and yard work, parents can outsource household tasks to Taskrabbit and revel in silence.
“At Capri Sun, we know that back-to-school season is a hectic time and our goal through launching the Kid Noise-Canceling Juice Drink is to show our appreciation for parents by providing them 50 seconds of calm,” said Samantha Mills, associate director, brand communications. “When parents buy these new juice packs, they are buying themselves some much needed peace and quiet. Our partnership with Taskrabbit is a strategic effort to give parents what they really need – time to themselves without worry.”
Capri Sun’s Kid Noise-Canceling Juice Drink packs are available on noisecancelingjuicedrink.com with no purchase necessary. The giveaway includes 2 pouches per box and a $100 Taskrabbit credit that can be used toward hourly service rates on the platform, while supplies last.

This signifies our dedication to a sustainable future, not just in the beverage world but also in our endeavor to promote healthier lifestyles. We look forward to inspiring positive change and making strides towards a more sustainable world!”
In addition to its D2C channel, waterdrop, a European brand by origin, is expanding its stateside retail footprint with the recent opening of a Mall of America location.
