Reply to comment by todd10k in TIL that from 1991 to 2007, tobacco conglomerate Philip Morris Cos. successfully marketed Capri Sun to children, based on their executives' experience selling tobacco to young people. by 99-bottlesofbeer

It's only delicious until you're 18, start to be an adult, eat and drink things that are way more delicious and don't kill you, or do, and move on with your life and stop being a child with child's taste buds.

I'm just fine. Unfortunately, most of the people around me are children in adult bodies.

I don't think you are fine. None of this is a flex, btw, but I'm 37, i have kids, a house, a mortgage, a loving girlfriend and 2 cars. I have a full time, 9-5 job and i workout, have good friends and a good life in general. I'm a little overweight but i'm strong, not afraid of a fight and in general what you would consider a "mans man".

I still think capri sun is delicious. Just because it is made for and marketed to children does not mean ones appreciation of sweet things diminishes. It is, objectively, tasty.

I understand that might seem purile or even juvenile, and i get that everyone around you acting like kids might get you down. I understand, it's hard when you're taking care of business, sticking your hands into the muck when those around you lounge about and complain about mucky floors while you're covered in mud, but don't let it get to you. Enjoy the simple things, like a delicious cool icy orange flavoured beverage from a pouch, and don't forget to, once in a while, take a moment for yourself.

No. You turned 18 and thought that meant no more fun. No more enjoyment. Give it all up and be an adult

Fuck that. I still browse the toy aisle and enjoy stuff I did as a kid. Life is too short.

Who wants to drink some Mondo with me!?

lol, okay dude. Everyone thinking I'm no longer fun because I don't kill myself with terrible tasting mass produced crap is missing brain cells. Probably from the capri suns they drink.

I've lived more in 10 years than the people downvoting me will during their entire lives. GTFO.
