Sickly Disgust Not Sunny Delight!

Advantages: low calorie, relatively low in sugar, full of vitamins.
Disadvantages: Sweet, sickly and hearburn inducingly acidic!

...Well I was thirsty-really thirsty and I was in my local Co-op which has a fairy poor selection of drinks. As I don?t much like drinking fizzy drinks these days I wasn?t left with much choice. What did catch my eye was a big ?buy one get one free? sign over the 500ml bottles of sunny delight. The two flavours available we?re California Style and Summer Fruits and both had ?No Added Sugar? emblazoned across the front label. Why not? I thought. I knew I could stomach the California Style and ever one for wanting to try a new taste I picked up a Summer Fruits too for just 82p. This review will concentrate on the Summer Fruits variety. The bottle is thick and chunky at the bottom, as wide around as say a bottle of milk though this bottle is made up of an opaque plastic, not glass. The top angles in sharply and joins onto the inch high...

Review of Sunny Delight - Summer Fruits

* Sunny Delicious *

Advantages: Orange and lime a lovely combo and nice price
Disadvantages: Too much can turn you yellow

...Sunny Delight Florida Style I bought this when I had tonsillitis. I chose the one with the no added sugar although I do prefer the one with the sugar but since I was sick. I decided to try and be health. Sunny Delight was invented in 1964 by Doric Foods. Sunny Delight sometimes called Sunny D started to expand in California and they built two more plants to cope with the demand. Doric Foods were taken over by Sundor Brands in 1983 and in the March of 1989, Sundor Brands were taken over by Proctor and Gamble, who still own Sunny Delight and many other brands that we use today. P&G expanded Sunny Delight even more by adding different flavours and making the bottles in different sizes. Sunny D has a variety of different flavours and different sizes. The two most common flavours are Florida Style, which has a Tangy flavour...

Review of Sunny Delight Florida Style

Sunny Disgrace

Advantages: Attractive and will do on a hot sunny day if there's nowt else.
Disadvantages: The taste

...The other morning I awoke to find a voucher for a free bottle of Sunny Delight on my doorstep. Far be it from me to turn down such a glorious opportunity, so in true Deano fashion, I asked my Nan to pick me up a bottle on her next trip to Morrisons LOL. THE FLAVOURS: Sunny Delight or Sunny D as it is more affectionately known, is available in six different flavors, two original flavors and four new ones. As stated on the label: Original flavors: California style and Florida style (A new look and with more juice but the same great taste) apparently. New flavors: Orange Outburst – An outrageously full on orange taste. Tropical Tornado – A torrent of Caribbean flavor (whatever). Blackcurrant Blast – A rich blackcurrant flavor creating an explosive taste experience (personally, I have eaten...

Review of Sunny Delight - Tropical Tornado

A Sunny D Overdose

Advantages: tastes good, refreshing
Disadvantages: bottle isn't easy to hold

...With the kind of hot weather we have had this past week I have been really desperately needing a drink. Water is alright but sometimes you just want something with that bit more. I ran quickly to the supermarket to see what caught my fancy and there it was Sunny Delight in all its orange glory. I picked it up and ran to the checkout. Created in Florida in 1964 it was bought by P&G who carried out test marketing on Sunny Delight. In April '98 it was launched in the UK and the light version was launched in 2000. So, I remember the days when the adverts graced our screens the children running about playing then the mother giving them all Sunny Delight. It was cheesy but never really persuaded me to try it. I also noticed that it is no longer officially Sunny Delight but now it has been shortened to Sunny D which I don't really like...

Review of Sunny Delight Florida Style

Sunny Delightfully Or Sunny Disgusting

Advantages: Easy to establish packaging
Disadvantages: All those E Numbers!!!

...When Strawberry Sunny D was created a few years back I used to buy it all the time and then out of nowhere it seemed to disappear. Am I mistaken or are we not allowed it where I live? Anyway, I thought never mind I?ll go back to drinking fizzy drinks instead. But then a very cheesy advert came out recently advertising four new flavours of Sunny Delight. At twenty-three I should be out of the stage of going for drinks that look bright, but I?m not. For my sins I was attracted to THAT GREEN ONE. Yes, Kiwi and Apple. As soon as I found it in the shop near my workplace I brought it for 59p. Tasted it and have been hooked ever since. As you might expect the reactions were not great from people from work when I recommended they buy it. If I can remember rightly the comments were around the lines of ?looks like something I bring...

Review of Sunny Delight - Apple and Kiwi Kick

IT'S SUNNY INSIDE

Advantages: Good price, lovely flavour
Disadvantages: synthetic ingredients

...This makes a change doesn?t it? It seems like ages since I have written about a PRODUCT and a non-alcoholic one at that! Though we are still talking liquid and drink here! Sunny Delight has been around for a few years in the UK with two flavours initially, based on orange flavour, then a ?light? version, strawberry and Caribbean. Now they have introduced four more distinctive flavours and Blackcurrant Blast happens to be my favourite. It?s weird this Sunny Delight phenomenon ? I mean I love it but everyone I seem to know, friends, family and fellow Ciaoers I have spoken with, seem to hate it! Yet it sells well and seems popular so just who is buying and drinking the damned stuff besides me??!! I?m guessing it?s the ?younger generation? and maybe it appeals to the little kid in me and that?s why I like it? I have been warned...

Review of Sunny Delight - Blackcurrant Blast

'Sunny-D makes a come-back'

Advantages: Kids love it; Tasty; Fruity; Widely Available
Disadvantages: Bad for you - still; High in Colourants.

...These days Sunny Delight seems to have a rather bad reputation with parents and dietary specialists. That is because originally, when Sunny Delight was first launched (with only 3 flavours available) it was packed full of sugars and other bad ingredients. Kids loved it though, which is one of the reasons why it is still around, and the brand managed to stay profitable despite all the bad publicity it received in the press. I was even more aware of Sunny Delight's bad reputation the other day when I saw a large, bold stall in my local Asda store where they were giving out free samples of the new Sunny Delight Blackcurrant Blast flavour drink. I went up to the stall and asked what the lady was sampling. "I know it is the dreaded Sunny Delight..." The lady said to me in a cheerful manner - the complete opposite of what I was expecting...

Review of Sunny Delight - Blackcurrant Blast

Sunny D? No thanks.

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 friends think they're cool. Most parents are too smart for 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!...

Review of Sunny Delight [TV Advertisement]

Sun, Sea and Sunnies

Advantages: Will not leak in your bag
Disadvantages: Dry out easily and not cheap.

...,000 people are affected by skin cancer each year in Britain, and at least 2% will die as a result. But it was not till the 80's that it was realised suncreams helped prevent damage to our skin and not till the 90's that it was proved by scientists. However with all this knowledge now, How many of you are careful about making sure you never go out without protection. Children are most at risk from the sun as their bodies don't produce melanin which helps protect the skin from the UV rays. How many times have you let the kids go out and play without thinking of their skin? I know I have. And I am even worse with myself. But sometimes putting on suncream, especially on wriggly children who are just eager to play is such a bind so when Pampers brought out these Sunnies wipes I was delighted. ~~~~What are they?~~~~ Pampers Sunnies wipes are...

Review of Pampers Sunnies

A drink with a story To Tell.

Advantages: in different sizes, kids will love it, rather cheap
Disadvantages: : not very well known anymore, and it's not too healthy..

...that the company started in 1964 in America and launched in the U.K during the late 90's. It has a long history of changed ownership and it used to be called Sunny Delighted which now changed to SunnyD of course. The company, however only make drink products and most of their drink have almost similar names. Next time I went for my main grocer in Sainsbury's I could not find the drink. I was rather disappointed really, as you would expect Sainsbury's to sell them. However, I could not 100% blame them as I wasn't in a huge Sainsbury's but those medium Sainsbury shops you would find locally near to you. When I went to Tesco, I did find the drink, but it was one of the huge bottle I saw. From then that's when I knew the drink came in different sizes 200ml, 500ml and 1.5 litre bottles. The 200ml and 500ml bottle are not recommended for children...
