Capri Sun recently launched a new campaign to help keep kids hydrated while at school. Unfortunately for juice-loving kids, however, they may not be receiving what they’d normally expect to find in the famous juice pouches. Capri Sun is donating 5 million pouches of water to schools in the Chicagoland area and Granite City. Apparently, the company anticipates kids being disappointed at grabbing a pouch and finding it full of water instead of juice, so the pouches have the message, “We’re sorry, it’s not juice” printed on them. Capri Sun the donations were made because water fountains have been shut down at schools. “As a brand that exists to support families, when CAPRI SUN heard water fountains were going to be off-limits when schools reopened, we saw an opportunity to step up and help out," said Naor Danieli, the associate director of kids hydration at Kraft Heinz. "With a tremendous amount of collaboration across all our Capri Sun teams, we worked quickly to create Capri S...

Walmart told the BBC it thought a deal with the Chinese video-sharing app would help it expand its operations.

Rumors are circulating online which suggests that Apple‘s entry-level iPhone SE and XR will become cheaper following the launch of the iPhone 12. According to the Twitter account @aaple_lab, Apple’s iPhone SE and XR handsets are set to be reduced from $399 USD and $549 USD to $349 USD and $499 USD, respectively.

The top-spec iPhone 12 Pro is expected to cost from $999 USD, depending on the size of the phone’s memory. Although the iPhone XR and SE are very different in styles — the former features a 4.7-inch...

Chang Song-min, a former aide to South Korea’s late president Kim Dae-jung, made the sensational claims to South Korean media, according to the New York Post.
