Here in Canada, there used to be a drink called "Beep". Just Beep. It was long enough ago that the milkman delivered it from his truck! Over 60yrs ago. We begged my mother for it and occasionally she'd buy two cartons. Absolutely no idea what it was, nor what was in it. It would be great to see if you can dig up that old dinosaur and create some nostalgia for a senior who has fond memories of that time. Hello 👋 👋 I'm Jenn from Canada 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 🇨🇦
"Beep was a fruit-juice-based drink brand, made by Farmers Cooperative Dairy of Nova Scotia, Canada, and distributed in Canadian provinces. Originally produced in the 1960s, it was discontinued in March 2010;[2] was temporarily revived in 2012 as a seasonal summertime drink;[3] and was discontinued a second time in 2015.[4] Its revival in 2012 featured a vintage carton different from the carton used at the time it was discontinued.[5] According to the carton, the drink contained water, sugar, fruit juices (orange, apple, apricot, prune, and pineapple), citric acid, orange pulp, natural flavours, sodium citrate, canola oil, modified corn starch, sodium benzoate, caramel colour, annatto, and ascorbic acid."

@@XShaneX19 On the contrary, SunnyD would win the "healthier" argument, at least as far as sugar content is concerned. Pure OJ has significantly more sugar than SunnyD. 8oz of SunnyD has 12g, 8oz of RAW OJ has over 20g. fdc.nal.usda.gov/fdc-app.html#/food-details/169098/nutrients .
@@Ratmus1 At least as far as sugar content is concerned, the OJ is worse for you than the SunnyD. An argument can be made that the juice of oranges without added sugars might be marginally healthier than sugar water, but the major issue here is that neither beverage contains much else beyond sugar and water. Eating an orange and drinking 8oz of OJ are two VERY different things in terms of nutrition, digestion, and load on the body. Drinking SunnyD vs drinking OJ is effectively the same, with SunnyD being a watered down alternative that has lower sugar contents.
I'm from the UK and started school in 1999- Sunny D was ALL the rage. I can't remember going to another kids house that didn't have it, and it was always being advertised or right at the front of supermarket displays! And then from about 2006, I don't think I've seen it since
Regulation against advertising to children tightened up. Considering Sunny D is a brand entirely built around marketing (because the drink itself is overpriced garbage), it died in popularity soon after.
There was a local gas station that had the Sunny D setup in one of their coolers. Soda, OJ, some purple drink (I think it was called "Bug Juice"), and then there was Sunny D.
lol the alcoholic version at trashy house parties in the late 90s was a Sunny D screwdriver (just add vodka). At the slightly less trashier parties, the host might add some soda water to the mix :) I've seen lots of what I call "legacy kids' brands" getting adult treatments lately, not surprised to hear Sunny D took that route!!!
Oh my word, I just bought another liter of SunnyD after my last try which was more than five years ago and thinking if WHF could do an episode about this drink, and here we are! Amazing!
It was outright called Sunny Delight in the UK when I was released. Florida style and California style. The company paid an awful lot of money in the UK to make sure Sunny Delight was stocked in supermarkets next to fruit juice. Parents in the mid 90s thought they were giving their kids fruit juice.
I worked with a guy in the early '90's. He loved "Sunny D". I pointed out that on the label it listed propelyne glycol as an ingredient. I'm sure it was used to help the drink flow through pipes. Propelyne glycol is a component in many products including video tape.
My favorite drinks growing up were Sunny D and Capri Sun. I was also huge on kool aid jammers fruit pouches. Weird history foods you guys should do a video on Capri Sun, that stuff was everywhere.
I miss the days I'd have morning screwdrivers with SunnyD or Tang drink mix for breakfast. To clarify I was working nights so when I got off at 7am that was technically my night time. So a morning screwdriver and some bong bowls before bed was a daily occurrence.
My grocery store I work at used to carry all those different flavors of Sunny D in the produce section. It had it's own big section actually. Then 1 day a few years ago they took it out of produce, put it in the grocery juice aisle and now only carry 2 flavors, tangy original, smooth
I hate when products turn their slang name into the official name. It reeks of "How do you do, fellow kids!" I always loved the stuff, though. I think the only reason I laid off the stuff as a teenager is because my favorite sugary soft drink pretending to be healthy became Sobe, especially Liz Blizz. I used to get one of those pretty much every on my walk home from school.
I was about 15/16 years old when Sunny Delight launched here in the UK. And it was massively promoted and hyped! Every commercial break seemed to run advertisements for Sunny D. From my perspective, after that initial wave of excitement, it died down once everyone figured out it was sugary juice drink, and that real orange juice remained supreme.
Purple stuff definitely was referring to Kool-Aid SunnyD it was always in the house very early on until my mother realized it wasn't actuality oj and contained all that sugar. Great upload
So weird history were you listen to my conversation with my son on Friday? My son thought the D was for vitamin D, I told him it was for Delight. 90s kid up in the house 😂
4:40 Brief shot of a pre-fame Seann William Scott in the commercial. I worked with him many years ago, and remember him talking about filming that. He said they had to drink so much of the Sunny D repeatedly during the filming, that they had a large garbage can standing by to spit it out/throw up into.
Hasn't faded for me. I still pick it up from time to time. Not all the time cause I don't want diabetes. But everyone said a while when I see It in stores on sale ill grab it. If it wasn't so sugary, I'd drink it every day. Brings back good memories
I could never understand the need for this drink since it's so similar to orange juice. I mean, why not just drink actual orange juice? It's not like it's hard to find. Why do we need a fake orange juice?
Orange juice can't be stored on shelves for months without rotting. This was one of my first thoughts being a former Sunny Delight blending technician. I literally made hundreds to thousands of batches of it myself. Leave regular Orange juice unrefrigerated, and you will know the answer to your question.
Brominated vegetable oil. It makes it cloudy. It also was in Mountain Dew and Mello Yellow for decades. Seeing as how bromine is toxic, I'd guess that's why it's gone.
Mom used to buy it back in the 1980s because orange juice was more expensive. She wasn't much of a label reader back then or she might not have since it's basically punch.
Might’ve been that I just remember it from the early 00s mainly but I was surprised in this video to find out the branding change to just call it Sunny D happened in 2003. I feel like I remember it always being stylized that way!
Well, Sunny D is alive and well in Mexico. Trailing numero uno Coca Cola,of course. (I read somewhere that Mexicans drink 2.5 liters of Coke per capita per day. Hard to believe, but then again not) Anyway, the narrator of these videos is brilliant, in voice and humor. Thanks for the edification and chuckles.
Funny coincidence as I did actually used to mix Vodka with Sunny D. I remember a pink one from the 90s as well, I used to live like 4 doors up from a 24 hour petrol station back when that was a thing. I think it came in to the UK earlier than 1998 though, I’m sure I remember drinking it in 1997, I was always buying slush puppies from that petrol station before that.
I have transient yellow 5 allergy. I discovered this the first time I drank sunny d. it was a hot summer day, my cousins were visiting, one handed me the bottle, I had legit one sip. 5 minutes go by as they're about to leave and I feel funny, a little rumble in my tummy. suddenly, I launch a full gallon of neon orange liquid out of my mouth like the exorcist, clearing 10 feet. some years I'm fine with dye, others I have issues. it's crazy.
I think the first time I had Sunny Delight was some time I went to visit San Diego, say maybe 1994. Years later I started to consume it at a relatively more common pace but I started to feel worn from a "burning" aftertaste in it. Maybe it was the HFCS.
Marketing is everything. It's insane how Sunny D has almost nothing to do with real pure orange juice, but if you asked anyone they thought it was just orange juice with added vitamins.
It's funny Apple juice goes bad the fastest but cost the least. They should make smooth apples, just sunny apples _smooth_ , take the peel flavoring out and put molasses.
I like how their only selling point was it had less sugar than OJ, no mention that it had 10x the number of ingredients than OJ and it was heavily processed!
I used to really like this stuff back in the late 90s and early 2000s. My favorite flavor was Mango. Now, I think it's too sweet, and I rarely drink any kind of juice or juice drink.

Interesting..i'm Canadian but i haven't heard of that. I'm going to Google it.
They really missed the boat not making their own PURPLE STUFF to capitalize on that nostalgia.
they had a grape one i think it just didnt sell well
Maybe if they included Dave Chapelle. He likes purple stuff.
Came here to say the same thing.
Purple Stuff by Dave Chappell would sell today... Like hotcakes

Iceland sell it
I used to kinda like Sunny D but I couldn't drink much because it gave me terrible heartburn, whereas actual orange juice never did.
The "California Style" seemed less acidic.
It's the Propelyne Glycol.
Always made me super phlegmy…
Just drink orange juice.
The blood of Grimace..😮🤣
Aja’s headless ghost has entered the chat
I add vodka to Sunny D calling it "Agent Orange", or "Secret Agent Orange" if I take it out in public.
you're special!
And your an alcoholic
Dude, that’s hilarious! Thanks for sharing Hahaha
That's awesome 😆
If you add rum instead, you can call it "rumOJ" (pronounced rummage)
There was a local gas station that had the Sunny D setup in one of their coolers. Soda, OJ, some purple drink (I think it was called "Bug Juice"), and then there was Sunny D.

I just finished the video and that new Sunny D seltzer is literally exactly wtf we used to have in the 90s. GOD I feel old.
Like so many other things I loved as a kid, this stuff was loaded with sugar! Not surprised, but thanks for the story 😆

Tampico is the worst. Even as a kid I thought it had a funky taste
@@YoungDeathWish but it was what my family could afford 😆
Every time there was a birthday party in school the kids parents would bring Tampico and it tasted like ass
Probably the best description of Sunny D I've heard is that it tastes like someone put perfume in an orange juice bottle.

We do know what the purple stuff is:
Water, Sugar, and Purple

Having a video on "What does the D stand for in Sunny Delight?", is like having a video on "What does KFC stand for?".

When I was a kid, it was Tang > Sunny Delight. That stuff always had a weird taste that I didn't care for.
In the second half of the 90s, SunnyD was in every store in our town for 2 years. Then overnight it vanished. No store stocked them.
Me as a child-"I love Sunny D."
Me as an adult- "Sunny D burnt a hole through my stomach lining."
The photo of the two black kids drinking the Sunny D fruit drink really brings that Dave Chappelle joke home. 😂
0:00 Loved the intro with Stewie
(remember the commercials with the Mini-Me guy?)
Sunny D has been in NASCAR since 2016 sponsoring Drivers: Ricky Stenhouse Jr, Kevin Harvick and Riley Herbst throughout the years
Reminds me of the orange person lawsuit. Nevermind as I was typing you talked about it! LOL
After SunnyD, you gotta review Tang!

From my perspective, after that initial wave of excitement, it died down once everyone figured out it was sugary juice drink, and that real orange juice remained supreme.
I'm pretty sure the explanation for the depressed Tweet from 2019 is just that the intern who wrote it was personally depressed.
My kids two favorite drinks growing up were Capri Sun and Sunny D.
Dude those were my favorite drinks growing up too. They must’ve been a late 90s-early 2000s kid like I was 😅
Nostalgic is fresh fruit made into juice on the spot in the Caribbean as a snack

I recall that the purple stuff was Welchade. My kids used to drink both, but preferred Sunny Delight.
