Review: Sunny D Vodka Seltzer
Sunny D Vodka Seltzer was just released. If you have never tasted Sunny D before, I’m sure your kids have. Think of it as an orange flavored juice box sold in plastic bottles. Sunny Delight was positioned as a healthier alternative to sugary juice boxes and pouches. Each individual bottle contained real juice and 100% of the recommended daily amount of vitamin C. Sunny Delight was developed in 1963 in Mount Dora Florida. Over the years they have changed owners, their name, ingredients, and flavor varieties. One of the formula changes happened after a 4 year old girl in England’s skin turned orange. It was determined this was caused by the beta carotene in the Sunny Delight and her daily diet of drinking 1.5 liters. After sales plunged the formula was changed and the name was rebranded to Sunny D. Artificial sweeteners were later added to reduce sugar and calorie count. Sunny D currently produces a dozen flavor varieties. If all goes well I’d expect to see a Sunny D Vodka Seltzer Mix pack soon. Read more
