Are you over 18

My wife just got on my case for drinking some of the kids Capri Suns. She says I am the only person over 18 who drinks them, is this true? She also said the same of my Pop Tart eating, she must be way off base on that one, What do you think. Thanks Jeff

LOL.
I still eat poptarts, however only my 7 year old washes down his pop tarts with capri sun.
I don't think I could drink capri sun unless it was mixed with somthing else.

Talking

Geeeez,


Im working on 31 and love strawberry pop-tarts ( not cooked )

I also occasionally freeze Capri suns and eat them like an ice-pop ( orange flavored only though )


I think its normal but my wife thinks im a freak for my bread sandwichs.

PS- see how long it takes for someone to figure out what a bread sandwich is?

Yeah, only kids need their poptarts toasted. The frosted ones make a great snack in the afternoon when I need something to hold me over to dinner...but, only the kids hit the capri suns.....

mmmmmm poptarts! Great for a pocket snack on the slopes! Also very good camping.
I gotta agree: only kids eat them toasted.

Capri Sun! Best if very cold! But I do admit I prefer the more traditional flavors- grape, fruit punch etc.
None of that strawberry/kiwi stuff-too sweet!

First of all, I love strawberry frosted Pop Tarts. Secondly, I have had a few of the new Capri Suns that come in the bottle shaped can only because they caught my eye and I wanted to try them. Alot like sugar water if you ask me.

Capri Sun,
this is a funny thread. My neighbors kid had a baseball game the other day and it was his day to bring the snacks. When they got home he had some capri suns and little bags of chips left over. He came over to my house and gave me some so I could celebrate the win with him. Yep after a few capri suns and a bag of chips i was buzzing oh yeah i think hes like 7 or 8. I know i still drink kool-aid and have it stocked in the house at all times.

Kool-aid is the bomb diggy.

So it sounds like I am the only one he still eats Pop-Tarts toasted. I also enjoy capri-sun, Fruit punch only, not the funny mixed ones.

26 going on 10

LOL, my wife thinks it's funny that I still drink ALOT of Kool Aid. My daughter and I drink at least a pitcher of Lemon Lime every day. Be it Capri Sun or Kool Aid, it's better for you than Mountain Dew...which I also love!

I dig pop tarts, not toasted of course. Also, I'm really a big fan of snack packs!

Capri Sun,
I don't like pop-tarts either. I do love Toaster Pasteries and Scramblers though! Those new crust-less Peanut Butter & Jelly sandwiches (in the frozen foods section) are GREAT especially with an ice cold, slushy Capri Sun!

I don't understand when making a PB&J became so difficult that we need to buy pre-made ones in the freezer section.

I'm 25 and:

A) Watch cartoons (Anime, Simpsons)
B) Enjoy video games
C) Would drink juice boxes if necessary, and do still like chocolate milk
D) And surprisingly am single!!

The thing I hated about Caprisuns was the stupid straw insert! I always went through and had issues. Then I was sent home on the short bus

I used to eat poptarts until I went on a low carb diet... Those things are like 72 grams of carbs (for a 2 pack).... That's like eating a whole bag of chips.... Which I can't eat either...

God help me... I'm jonesin for junkfood...

I prefer the ham and the turkey lunchables!

I LOVE pop-tarts but I try to avoid buying them since a three-box pack from "Sam's" won't last a week if I start getting the cravings.

I love capri-suns as well, but some of them are a bit sweet...a bit!

I did make a new discovery the other day...You can now get Tang in those little pouches as well!! Mmmm...They've probably been around for a while, but I've only ever bought Capri-Suns at Sams and they never had Tang there!

Lunchables scare me. The meat always looks a little too green.

The frozen PB&J sandwiches are GREAT when you forget your lunch and are a wonderful alternative to McDonald's. I'm one of those people who gets up 15 mins before I have to be at work and flies out of the house since I work 12 minutes away. Needless to say, time to make lunch in the morning??! HA! That will never happen!

I love cartoons too.. expecially Anime. I play video games (PS2 and PC games). My boyfriend and I got drive go-karts and to the arcade sometimes too. Sometimes we play dressup at work, like we all wear fake mustaches, wigs or fake teeth. We've even had slipper day where we all wear silly slippers to work. (Mine are pink bunnies with squeaky tails) On easter I wear bunny ears to work, at christmas we all wear white beards and santa hats.

Who ever said you had to 'grow up'??! It's just not any fun!

unhealthy food, ech! I agree with your wife... and will go further to say stay away from overly processed foods (ie, pop tarts), anything with hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils, and sweets.
