Australian toy distributor Childsmart has launched a range of children's drinks with a collectable toy capsule on each bottle.

Called Surprise Drinks, the flavoured mineral water beverages come in Disney's Frozen and Disney's Cars 2 themes, with a drink and toy in the one package.

Each drink contains a capsule holding a small toy which could either be a 3D figure, sticker, or pendant, and there are six to collect.

They are available in a 300ml size in an apple spring water flavour.
