Sunkist
If your looking for a cheap can of fizzy pop then Sunkist is available in all supermarkets, the bright orange cans and bottles are designed to catch your eye as you go along the drinks aisles, with the words Sunkist written largely across the front of the can in dark contrasting blue letters, it really is hard to miss.
The drink can be bought in single cans for around 60-70p depending on where you buy them, I have even see this on offer for 19p a can in some supermarkets last year, when Sunkist must have been having a promotion time.
You can usually buy this drink in packs of 6 from the pound shops as they tend to stock less popular brands of drinks and other products. A large bottle will cost you around £1 which is a reasonable price to pay for a fizzy drink, but then do you really want this product whatever cheap price it is retailed at ?
Sunkist juices and juice drinks in Canada are products of A. Lassonde, Rougemont, Quebec, Canada, J0L 1M0.

The can has a ring pull which when opened lets the drink fizz up and the distinct smell of oranges hits your nose, this is not something you want to open whilst travelling along in the car, as it is guaranteed to spill over and if you have a nutty driver like my hubbie, who gets great pleasure from trying to press the brakes of the car once you have just about managed to put the can to your mouth and laughs as you try and quickly stop the drink from drowning you and soaking your clothes. Some hubbies never grow up.
The drink itself is very sweet, so if you have hyperactive children this product has to be avoided or your just asking for trouble ten minutes later when the sugar takes effect on your hyperactive child.
I speak from experience as my son had hyperactivity and I always knew when he had drank sugary drinks as he would change into a little Tasmanian devil and it would take us all the rest of the day to calm him down and use up all the excess energy he had just taken in the fizzy drinks. So if you want to avoid the manic ness of hyperactivity then don't buy this drink.
Even though oranges are supposed to be good for you, they are not good for hyperactive children and neither is sugar.
Sunkist is a not-for-profit marketing cooperative entirely owned by and operated for the 6,000 California and Arizona citrus growers who make up its membership. It is one of the ten largest marketing cooperatives in America and, in the fruit and vegetable industry, it is the largest in the world.

I would not recommend this drink to you as to me it is a cheaper brand with too much sugar content, the added ingredients to make it fizz up are not good for the health and it is much easier to get your vitamins from a non fizzy drink than to get an artificial taste from a fizzy drinks brand. On a hot day at a very last resort this may suit you but for me - No thanks, I'll stick to other brands.

Summary: Not for me
