Kennedy, “We choose to go to the Moon Punch in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.” Wait. That’s not quite right. While the 35th president of the United States of America was issuing a challenge for the country to reach the moon by the end of the 1960s, I’m here to talk about another innovation: **Capri Sun Moon Punch**. To commemorate March’s Blood Moon, Capri Sun released a special flavor that came in eight glow-in-the-dark pouches. (No, Moon Punch itself doesn’t glow in the dark. It’s not *Sour Patch Kids Glow Ups*.) “Whether you grew up drinking from the iconic pouch or are one of the millions of kids who name Capri Sun as their favorite drink, we strive to create moments of fun and discovery, helping to unleash peak kid energy with every poke of the straw,” Capri Sun’s Jessica Barker [said in a statement](https://news.kraftheinzcompany.com/press-releases-details/2025/Capri-Sun-Heads-for-the-Moon-Takes-a-Lunar-Leap-with-Debut-of-First-Ever-Moon-Punch/default.aspx?ref=theomnicosm.com). “Playing off the iconic brand name, we’re looking from the sun to the moon for the very first time! Moon Punch is here, and it’s glowing.” Despite the total lunar eclipse happening last month, I didn’t see Moon Punch available until last week. Was the belated celebration of the celestial event worth it? ## Sign up Join the hundreds of ****Snackology** subscribers who already get this free newsletter covering new snacks — candy, soda, fast food and more!

But it did the job, just like the Apollo and Space Shuttle missions before it. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f4/8b/f48be8ca-23c6-4d81-b0cf-da2fb0785911/content/images/2025/04/IMG_0075.jpeg) The highlight of Moon Punch is obviously the glow-in-the dark pouches. According to the back of the box, all eight phases of the moon each get their own pouch. With ten pouches per case, I assumed that I’d get the complete set with two duplicates. Nope. It turned out that I got only First Quarter, Third Quarter, Waning Gibbous and Waxing Gibbous. (I got *so many* Waxing Gibbous pouches.) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f4/8b/f48be8ca-23c6-4d81-b0cf-da2fb0785911/content/images/2025/04/IMG_0078.jpeg) I was impressed by the glow on the Moon Punch pouches. The case suggests charging the pouches for five minutes under a light to get them glowing, but I was able to get a glow after just a few seconds from my phone flashlight. (Photographing the glow in the dark, though, was a much more difficult challenge.) Oh, you’re probably looking for my thoughts on flavor of Moon Punch. Capri Sun describes it as a “cosmically cherry-flavored juice \[that’s\] a must-have for any space lover.” It’s wild cherry. ### Final verdict: BUY FOR THE FUN OF IT Even if you don’t get all eight phases of the moon, Capri Sun Moon Punch is still fun. My daughter was super excited when we picked them up at Target, and spent a good chunk of the rest of the trip talking about how we were going to try it once we got home. I’d like to maintain the illusion that we’re good parents, so I’m not going to tell you all how many she had that Saturday. A big part of the **Snackology** process is sharing these finds with my family. Moon Punch brought my daughter a lot of happiness, so it’s a Buy. ****Snackology** is written and produced by ****Bill Kuchman**.
