Sunny Delight has so much colouring in it, it’ll turn your kids orange: Fact. Sunny Delight is just 5% fruit juice: Fact. Sunny Delight is three times as expensive as other drinks with similar ingredients: Fact. If you’ve seen these ads on TV and not found them particularly annoying, I suggest you watch them again with all this in mind. If you do, they might make you as angry as I get when I watch them.
But before I explain why, let me explain the ... ...entry on the adverts for Sunny Delight. If you’ve seen them, you’ll know that they consist largely of happy, healthy outdoor kids doing happy, healthy outdoor things, then bounding into a house where they looking in the fridge for something to drink. Rejecting all other alternatives, one kid seizes the bottle of this noxious stuff and cries happily, Sunny D! The others express equal joy, leaping healthily for this chilled bottle pulled from the fruit-juice ...

Advantages: contains vitamins Disadvantages: full of artifical extras
Sunny Delight is an orange fruit drink distributed by Procter & Gamble of the UK. It comes in various shades of orange . There is light Sunny Delight , Califoria Sunny Delight , Florida and original , and that is not to mention Carribean.
They are all variants of essentially the same orange drink product.
The drink normally retails in he big supermarkets at £1.25 for a 1.5litre size plastic carton . There are smaller 500ml sizes available but I ... ...of course they are . Sunny Delight is a artifical product enriched with vitamins A , B1 and B6 and C. You only have to look at the bright orange colour to see it is not a natural orange colour.
Having said that I didn't find the taste too bad at all . A little sweet for sure and it has plenty of nasties such as sweeteners but then again hasn't moat products of today ? Certainly if you are looking for pure orange juice which this does not claim to ...

Advantages: taste nice Disadvantages: high sugar content, high colourings, high flavourings
...and Gamble the makers of Sunny Delight advertise it as a healthy alternative to the usual soft drinks which children buy. They claim it has added vitamins and is therefore good for children and depict advertisements showing kids turning down coke etc. in favour of their product. However this is all a complete sham! Sunny Delight is little more than water with a ridiculously high sugar content which is packed with colourings and flavourings and very ... ...are allowed to advertise their product in this way when it is far less healthy than many fizzy drinks and other fruit juices. Yes it may be 'the great taste kids go for' but at the same time it is liable to leave them with tooth rot and gum disease.
If you care about your kids at all you'd be well advised to steer clear from this product. ...

Advantages: none Disadvantages: Boring and formulaic
Sunny Delight. The name is pathetic. The advertising, however, is worse. All of the ads are the same, a bunch of kids go to the fridge for a drink, they look at the cola, milk, purple stuff and then choose Sunny Delight. They all sit around drinking it's sickly sweet, tooth rotting formula, and then the mother brings them some more. One of the kids then says "She's cool, your mum." This is an attempt to make mothers buy the drink so that their kids ... ...this, however, so by showing the kids as being popular, kids will think it's cool to drink Sunny D, and badger their parents into buying it for them. Now there's Sunny D Light, with less sugar in, so it doesn't matter how much you drink. It probably tastes bland though! ...

Advantages: well done marketing Disadvantages: shown to be healthy when it's not
...The various adverts for Sunny D make this drink out to be cool for kids and teenagers. Some show teenagers roller blading and stopping to drink Sunny D, whilst others show teenagers hanging about in the summer and drinking it. I think that the promoters have used a good marketing strategy by angling it at teenagers as soft drinks are generally aimed at young people and are very popular with them. The adverts show Sunny D to be refreshing and fun ...

Review of Sunny Delight [TV Advertisement]
In my opinion Sunny Delight is great, so long as you know exactly what it is you're drinking. All these people that complain about the amount of sugar in it should have read the bottle before purchasing it. i think it has a great taste and it is even better now there is Light Sunny Delight which tastes just the same but doesn't have as much sugar in. My favourite one is the tangy orange one. I'm not too keen on the other flavours but strawberry is ...

I really cannot understand why Sunny Delight is so popular. When it first came out I laughed, and thought nobody would buy a drink with such a silly name. Might as well have been called Pretty Dancing Flower Juice or something, but being a sucker for trying new food and drink i had some.
UUGGHHH!!! Revolting! It tastes like the really cheap cartons of 'orange flavour drink' I used to get as a kid for about 7p.
The adverts have been terrible too. ... ...there is no need for it to be there. It's just a ploy to make you think it's fresh.
I think perhaps they realised that the name was just plain silly so now we have Sunny D which apparently is really really cool.
I just don't understand it. ...

Advantages: kids like it Disadvantages: nausiating advert, full of sugar
I hate sunny delight, I think it tastes so sweet and sickly but of course my kids love it. Why, because the advert makes is out to be so trendy and cool. The advert implies that it's good for kids and that it's fruit juice but it's not. It's water, flavouring and sugar, it's not really healthy or particularly good for you. I have noticed that the advert has now changed, no longer do they push the point of it being good for you now they say it's a ...

This drink has got a delicious taste to it, that many children have been sucked into (me included) but the trouble is the content of sugar in it is extremely high and is doing lots of young childrens teeth a lot of damage. Children think that by drinking this drink, it is helping them to keep healthy, as it is supposed to have all these vitamins in it, but the thing that they don't know about is the content of sugar. I think that this is very wrong ...

Sunny Delight is that classic example of a not very good product doing very well in the market place due to clever advertising. If they told the truth (it's mainly water and sugar, very little juice, lots of colouring and won't do your kids' teeth much good) it would hardly be flying off the shelves now, would it? But Proctor and Gamble have positioned it as having "added vitamins" so your average punter in the street will think vitamins = healthy ...

Advantages: its a fruit drink - period Disadvantages: to sweet, not enough fruit
Although we buy sunny delight along with other, more healthy, fruit or fruit based drinks I’m not a particularly big fan. It’s very sweet and smooth to drink and comes in an ‘opal fruit’ range of flavours….and colours. I’m not really ante the stuff as I think it is no better or worse than many of the branded and supermarket varieties that clutter the shelves of supermarkets, garages and corner shops.
The product ...

Advantages: The good commercial Disadvantages: The product is awful
The Sunny Delight ads are quite good, but the drink itself is revolting. It’s watery, and bitter. The reason I begged my mum to buy me some, was because I saw the ad. It looked so good, and I used the excuse of saying that it had lots of vitamins etc. When she bought it, I took one gulp and I spit it back out. It was watery, bitter, and didn’t seem to quench my thirst at all (probably because I spit it out so fast!). Although the ad made the product ...

Advantages: gets the new produts across Disadvantages: annoying
The Sunny delight advert is one which makes you want to get up and walkout of the room whatever program is about to start. Along with all of the loan adverts on channel five i find this advert really cheasy.
along with this i find on the one where they are all playing football you can harly tell what they are saying the words are really unclear and muddled.
the camera angles and effects are fairly poor and at some point you get a blurryness. and ...

the makers of the adverts have lied by saying that this drink is healthy for children to drink with all these magical vitamins in it. in fact, this drink does more harm than good as the sugar content of this drink is extremely high! this drink does taste very nice though and is very addictive, although the new ranges and flavours that they are bringing out taste totally disgusting! i mean, who want to drink a very strong tasting strawberry drink? ...
