Never occurred to me that it was a themer. I ended up, at the very end, staring at ROL and wondering how on god's green earth that was supposed to work. That time: ROSWELL (49D: Southwest city in 1947 news). Turns out my understanding of the theme works perfectly. There was no question of multiple squares in a box, just a matter of walking that Across answer over and Down. Additionally, the non-recyclable packaging has spurred environmental groups to pressure Kraft into redesigning their iconic pouch.įrom where I was standing / solving, those Downs (above) all started at the "F" and then proceeded across and *rounded the corner*, dropping and finishing where they finish. In 2014, after continued pressure to fix what consumers described as worm-shaped food mold in Capri Sun pouches, Kraft released a clear bottomed pouch to allow consumers to better inspect the product before consumption. A straw is supplied with each individual pouch. The pouch is trapezoidal in profile when filled and rectangular when flat, with a flared bottom that makes the pouch able to stand upright when placed on a horizontal surface. In the U.S., Capri-Sun pouches are now 180 ml (6 US fl oz) previously they were 240 ml (8 US fl oz). The standard box is filled with ten 200-millilitre (7 US fl oz) pouches of liquid. Capri Sun has been distributed in the United States since 1981. It was introduced in 1969 and named after the Italian island of Capri. Word of the Day: CAPRI SUN ( 40D: Big name in juice pouches) -Ĭapri Sun ( UK: / ˈ k æ p r i/, US: / k ə ˈ p r iː/, stylized as CAPRISUN in the United States and Capri-Sun internationally) is a German brand of juice concentrate drinks owned by Capri Sun Group Holding in Germany, which is a privately held company of Hans-Peter Wild.
