I'm an alcoholic that will drink stuff that's barely better than rubbing alcohol and Sunny D Vodka still sounds fucking disgusting. You have any idea how much it takes for me to not want alcohol? Seriously I could be ready to relapse right now, and I still wouldn't take one of those things for free. No I haven't tried one and I don't plan on it. Fucking Vodka in Sunny D? That's barely even high school shit, that's a middle schooler's idea of a cocktail, it sounds like something Rusty Venture would drink

Am I just being old, or am I right for thinking this is objectively fucking disgusting?

    If folks are making alcoholic beverages marketed exclusively to children, I want Capri Sun to start selling little pouches of wine.

    I fucking hate this stupid trend of everything being a vodka seltzer. No, I don't want to spend $18 for 4 shitty 4%abv seltzers. I can literally buy an actual bottle of vodka and real orange juice for less.

    I think I would prefer a Moco Cooler to a Sunny D Vodka Seltzer

    And I say that as someone who once voluntarily mixed Hawaiian Punch with Everclear and drank it

        Fr. Sunny D is like the absolute worst childrens drink. I'll still have some Hawaiian punch from the kids stash, but Sunny D? I don't even know if I'd buy that shit for my children. IDK maybe it's because I got really into reading baudrillard before I burnt out, but Sunny D and Yoo-hoo are both deeply creepy to me

          Sunny D is awful. Tastes nothing like orange juice or oranges at all. Tastes like chemical slop

    Sunny D or borderline undrinkable as it is

    best part is it has to be low calorie too so they used only artificial sweeteners. Even if you want that throwback to age 16 its ass because it's 90% sucralose

    At this point I can't tell if being an emotional child at (just short of) 30 is something years of passive aggressive OpEds about younger millennials foisted upon me or if it just came naturally. Nothing ever fucking changes around here, me included. I was an absolute mark for ever having faith in any of this shit

    In this house we do not respect Sunny D.
    Or any other brand that we can whip up at home with sugar and water and cornstarch and essential oil and food coloring and 5% actual juice.

    They decided they wanted to recreate/reconstitute orange juice, by flavoring sugar water and making it cloudy... and then they sell it for $3.50 a gallon, because apparently the American intestine can metabolize the marketing that it is made of.
