SunnyD, short for Sunny Delicious is the tangy orange drink that was first developed in 1963 when two Florida dads looked around an orange grove, and thought, good, but we can do better. The pair created SunnyD and a legend was born. In the 1990s, SunnyD enjoyed a particular wave of popularity and landed a dedicated fan base.
