SunnyD was reverse-engineered from the sun. Okay, that’s technically not true. But it does taste great, and every glass gives you a kick of Vitamins C and B1. Which means it’s good for you and can help Make Today A Sunny Day by providing a boatload of energy. And you know what else has lots of energy? The sun. Coincidence?

Back in the day, two friends named Howard and Phil worked together at a juice company. Howard’s kids didn’t like orange juice. Neither did Phil’s.

So the two dads were like, huh, maybe we should make something that tastes better?

Their kids wanted them to invent homework-free homework too, but Howard and Phil decided to figure out the better-tasting-orange-drink thing first.

No pulp. No tart. All good.

Phil and Howard decided to take out what kids hate about orange juice: pulp and tart. Then they jammed it with what kids love: sweet taste, chuggability and smooth texture.

Bottle Time

Howard wanted to create a bottle worthy of the awesome new orange drink that would go inside it. So, no more heavy glass or paper cartons that leak. Instead, a light plastic bottle that kept things fresh and delicious and was also kinda cool-looking.

Vitamins That Taste Good

Whaaaa? Does that even make sense? Yes. SunnyD has Vitamin C. A full day's supply. That means it gives kids a tangy, delicious drink they enjoy, while providing vitamins moms want their kids to have.

Intergalactic Taste Domination

The attractions of Sunny Delight quickly spilled over from Florida to all over the country and finally the world. Today, wherever you hear the exuberant sound of active young people, you'll find SunnyD. We once heard a story about a teen who drank some SunnyD on Mars! And hey, who are we to dispute it?

What is SunnyD?

We’re glad you asked! SunnyD, or SunnyDelight®, is a refreshing fruit-flavored beverage that contains Vitamins B1 and C. It’s a great drink for summertime fun all year long! How much of these vitamins does SunnyD have? One serving (8 oz.) of SunnyD provides 15% of the daily value of Vitamin B1 to help convert food to energy. One serving (8 oz.) of SunnyD also provides 100% of the daily value of Vitamin C to help maintain healthy gums and teeth.

Has the shape of the SunnyD gallon bottle changed?

Yes! It’s the exact same great-tasting SunnyD in a new square bottle that’s easier to pour and easier to store in your refrigerator. It’s also more environment-friendly because it requires less material and less energy to produce.

Does SunnyD use artificial sweeteners?

Yes. SunnyD uses some artificial sweeteners as a way to reduce the amount of sugar and calories without compromising the great taste our consumers love and want from SunnyD. Any ingredient used in SunnyD has been thoroughly tested for safety, is approved for use by the FDA and will be listed in the ingredient statement on every SunnyD label.

How many different varieties of SunnyD are there?

Did you know SunnyD comes in fourteen sun-bursting flavors! From Tangy Original to tasty Mango to yummy Orange-Pineapple! And every one has a full day’s supply of Vitamin C. Which is your favorite?  For more information, visit www.sunnyd.com/#products.

Do I need to refrigerate my SunnyD?

Well, it depends on the variety. Most varieties of SunnyD must be refrigerated after purchase for best quality. There are a few exceptions. Some SunnyD products are designed to be shelf stable: SunnyD in 16 oz. PET (clear) bottles, 48 oz. HDPE bottles, 12-pack cans and 2-liter bottles. To be sure, please check the label for refrigeration information. If you bought your SunnyD and it wasn’t in the refrigerator, don’t worry! All varieties and sizes of SunnyD, except SunnyD with Calcium, can be kept on shelf for up to 18 days. Be sure to drink SunnyD by the date stamped on the bottle; this is a “Best if Used By” date.

Can I freeze my SunnyD?

You can freeze your SunnyD to make ice cubes or yummy SunnyD frozen treats. Although freezing might affect the taste of your SunnyD after it’s thawed, so make sure to eat them frozen for the best-tasting product. Also, you should not freeze SunnyD in the container it comes in. The product will expand and may cause the container to split or explode.

Where can I find SunnyD? I can’t find SunnyD at my local store.

Check with your local grocer, drugstore, or other large chain retail store to ask if they carry SunnyD and which flavors they carry. If you’d like to see your favorite SunnyD flavor on the shelf, mention your interest to the store manager.

What’s the difference between Tangy Original and Smooth?

Are you Tangy or Smooth? If you’re super flavorful, bold and strong then you’ll love the tangy, citrusy, bold flavor of SunnyD Tangy Original. If you’re refined, smooth and compatible then you’ll prefer the smooth, subtly sweeter citrus taste of SunnyD Smooth (also known as Orange in our 12 oz cans, 16 oz bottles, 20 oz bottles, and 2-liter bottles.)

Where can I find the expiration/”Best if Used By” date?

Most varieties of SunnyD have the “Best if Used By” date stamped near the neck of the bottle, on the shoulder above the production code. If you have purchased SunnyD in cans, look for the stamp on the bottom of the container.
