Internationally US products are typically seen as poor quality, this is especially true for foodstuffs. The EU and UK have strict regulations on food goods that often US products fail to meet. Most people from the UK that I know associate american foodstuffs with lead and harmful chemicals, and most american foods and sweets are considered “full of plastic”. Presumably, the different name is to dis-associate the brand from America
Because they use the metric system, they don’t call it “Minutes”, they call them “Cappys”. i.e. an hour is 60 Cappys/Cappies, and Cappy Made was too weird of a title.

They got the metric system over there, wouldn’t know what the fuck a “minute maid” is.

Minute maid is sold in the UK but not by supermarkets.
It was launched by coca cola here and then withdrawn. It didn’t sell as well as our own versions of lemonade.
Never heard of cappy lemonade. Or cappy anything tbh.
It seems to be eastern European market focused.
It is likely the name makes more sense in the languages it is targeting with its “cappy” name.
