Anyone else remember this illuminous slightly radioactive looking orange juice? The stuff was damn addictive but now that I think about it, it was kinda disgusting.

Do they still make it?

Still, I'm seriously getting a craving for some Sunny D

Haha I remember that. There was a massive scare after that because people were convinced even one bottle would turn you orange. Me & most of my friends at the time were not allowed drink it after that :P

Barna77 · 13-04-2011 12:34pm

aaaahhh fooled again, I thought this was about the sun vanishing since monday.... :mad:

maximoose · 13-04-2011 12:36pm

the California Style mmmmmmmmmmmmmm it was good. Probably the reason all my teeth are falling out however.

Leelaa22 · 13-04-2011 12:43pm

wow blast from the past!!! I remember I liked the florida style but whenever I was in CA id insist on the californian style!! Looking back they were both pretty mank! Im surprised it lasted as long as it did.

El Guapo! · 13-04-2011 1:05pm

I bought some the other day in Tesco. Hadn't had some in years. Its changed though. It now has no artificial colours or flavours and it doesnt taste half as good.
In the good 'ol days it was laced with every artificial colour and flavour they could get their hands on..................kinda like this.......................

That stuff was muck. Still drank it though. Used to take the little mini bottles to school with me as a friday treat. Thanks Ma

She was drinking 1.5 litres of the stuff a day :eek:

mailforkev · 13-04-2011 1:25pm

I remember looking at the label on it in Dunnes once and the 5th or 6th (listed in order of quantity) ingredient on it was Vegetable Oil.

That was as close as I ever came to drinking it.

Voodu Child · 13-04-2011 1:28pm

However, she said there were no safety risks and those affected would return to a normal colour in a few weeks.

Aoifey! · 13-04-2011 1:34pm

I remember after the whole turning people yellow thing came out my mother wouldn't let me drink it anymore

I wanted to turn yellow.

Killer Wench · 13-04-2011 1:37pm

Sunny D is still quite popular in the US. It signifies which side you fall on in the big class divide.

Rich people drink Orange Juice. Po people drink orange drank.

Tubsandtiles · 13-04-2011 1:45pm

Anyone remember the free basketball you used to get with it sometimes in stores like Dunnes

1.5 litres a day? What kind of idiot parents let their four year old do that? :rolleyes: 1.5 litres of ANYTHING a day would have had a bad effect on that child.

I remember there was a Florida style and a California style Sunny Delight. I think a mango flavour one came out too. The Florida one was the nicest - much tangier than regular orange juice. I loved it at the time, but my Mam hated me drinking it.

PeterIanStaker · 13-04-2011 2:41pm

Yeah remember that stuff, and about the kid turning yellow.

I also remember reading that Sunny D had a TV ad that showed a snowman drinking Sunny D and turning orange . . . . it either got pulled off the air or never made it.:pac:

haha I know what you mean!!

Since McDonalds started using 100% real chicken, the Chicken McNuggets just aren't the same!!

It was desperate... you could actually see the damage it was doing to your teeth in real time.

'Be a Simpson, drink Sunny D!':p
But hey, if you read the article, you can get the same effect from orange juice, or carrots.
A litre of carrot juice a day should do it. Yay!

JONJO THE MISER · 13-04-2011 3:21pm

It was ****e but quiet addictive, i wonder do they still sell it here.

hardCopy · 13-04-2011 3:25pm

What's with the nostalgia? It's still on sale, I had a bottle about 3 weeks ago.

Florida style is the nicest.

Dave! · 13-04-2011 4:00pm

I want that purple stuff.....

Dangerous Man · 13-04-2011 4:07pm

Rat piss in a plastic jar. Made with horrendous ingredients. Pure evil. I have work to do, where's my enormous phone?

PrincessLola · 13-04-2011 4:19pm

Wow childhood memories! I think Florida style was my prefered choice, I begged my mum for some when she took me food shopping.

In retrospect the scandel came from the highly dishonest marketing of it to parents as 'healthy' by proclaiming its vitamn C content, while not mentioning the fact that it was worse sugar-wise then coke.

I liked one Sunny D flavour but hated the other. One of them tasted more orangey than the other, I liked that one. Never got it though, I alwaus just got generic squash from whichever supermarket was cheapest that week.
