- Angeliec, on 10/12/2007, -5/+157What oranges?! Everyone knows that Sunny D is made from the souls of dead children!
- insertnamehere, on 10/12/2007, -3/+54it's a stream of deliciousness
- D4RKfantasy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+48Ok, somewhat over-exagerated, its not a river, its a stream.
- sinner0423, on 10/12/2007, -1/+43What's in the lake?
Some fish, some purple stuff. Oh! Sunny D!

^ is another article about it, it made the front page of Drudge report, it's a little more in depth as well. - RyeBrye, on 10/12/2007, -4/+45It doesn't even look like it flows. It looks more like a drainage ditch...
- KevinJ, on 10/12/2007, -7/+43Think of the oranges
- mark1372, on 10/12/2007, -5/+39If the obnoxious commercials are any indication, those dead children have REALLY COOL MOMS!
- deut, on 10/12/2007, -0/+25And in other news...
"New species of fish exhibiting 3 eyes found in the River Parrett in Bridgwater, Somerset." - p9s50W5k4GUD2c6, on 10/12/2007, -0/+24Sunny D (you can fill in the "D" for whatever you wish).
What's in this drink?
Water (over 80%), Fruit Juice (15% - Orange, Lime, Mandarin and Grapefruit juice), Citric Acid, Vegetable Oil, Preservative: Polyphosphate (E452) Modified Starch, Natural Flavourings, Vitamin C, Thickener: Guar Gum (E412), Preservative: Potassium Sorbate (E202), Sweeteners: Acesulfame K (E950) and Aspartame (E951), Thickeners: Xanthan Gum (E415) and Gellan Gum (418), Beta-Carotene (Pro-Vitamin A), Vitamin B6, Thiamin (Vitamin B1). - fugazi, on 10/12/2007, -12/+35Sorry everyone thats not Sunny D, I was holding it for over a day and there was no where to go!
- Nessguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20The stuff that leaked is superconcentrated, they didn't have the water added to it yet.
- mark1372, on 10/12/2007, -1/+20I'll bet if Minute Made had a spill, you people would be modding it down! Honestly, I'm sick of seeing all these articles on Sunny D and all you Sunny D fanboys should get a real drink!!!! Digg is turning into a Sunny D no-life fanboy site, and every time Sunny D releases a new bottle, you loser lemmings get all in a lather about it and I'm tired of it!!!!! My Minute Maid comes in a bottle much bigger than yours and I don't need to pay more for shiny graphics or a fancy bottle! OMG no digg!
/Typical Digg coment post these days... - Lackadaisy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19Because if it is exposed to oxygen it gradually morphs into a cocktail of dioxin and the blood of puppies.
- mc1123, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19sunny D leak + Vodka leak + river = screwdrivers for all.
- Roger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18Even fish hate Sunny D.
- CynicalBastard, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16Leaks like this usually kill fish because all of the sugar released causes a spike in microorganism growth that consumes all of the dissolved oxygen in the water. Even fish need to breathe.
- victorycig, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16"The Environment Agency are also investigating reports of fish in distress after the pollution."
Doesn't mention death though. - graizur, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17Sunny D? Man I have always found that drink disgusting. I don't know how any one can drink it. Maybe if you had never had actual orange juice or something. I always saw it as a middle America thing. In the city we drank soda, Kool-Aid, Quarter Water and "Juice". Also Purple, Red, and sometimes if you were lucky Pink.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15They did 'clean it up'. replace 'clean it up' with 're-bottle it'.
- existnce, on 10/12/2007, -5/+19err...inaccurate? where does it say in the article that it's killing all the fish?
- mark1372, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14So does the river.
- skidzilla, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13Why, to comply with radiation safety standards, of course!
- gayle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13When I was in 6th grade, we had to do experiments on plants. One group did an experiement on how well plants would grow in water vs orange juice. The orange juice plants did quite well - as well or even better than the water plants.
Then one day, they ran out of orange juice, so they ran down to the school cafeteria and brought back some Sunny D. The plants were dead within days. - shinynew, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13@fro0ty any time you add a URL to your comment then you will get buried and no one will click it.
- kodek, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12"The stuff that leaked is superconcentrated, they didn't have the water added to it yet."
Now they do! - chicken101, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12Quick, call Erin Brockovich.
- mark1372, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12You could see that river from space now.
- muffinking, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8When life gives you lemons, dump them in a stream and kill all the fish.
Damn fish. - soogy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Yeah. Because fish can survive in concentrated Sunny Delight... Those fish, and anything else in there, are all *****.
On another note, looks like we're all going back to drinking "purple stuff."
This is sad. If this were a identified as a chemical plant, no one would be making jokes. The fact of the matter is that this IS a chemical plant. This is the exact kind of environmental problems these bastards have been putting out for decades. - kenplaysviola, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9... and it still tastes like Sunny D!
- eurocrisp, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8why is sunny-d even stored in subterranian storage tanks in the first place?
- paiguy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10I'd rather have the purple stuff.
- rushfan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Yeah, I thought the same. Its like a creek that runs through peoples backyards. I also don't see ANYTHING about all the fish dying. It only says, "reports of fish in distress."
- silent1, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8You're *drinking* it, you idiot, the fish have to *breathe* it.
- felchdonkey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Can we please calm down with all the exclamation marks?
It's getting to the point where the front page of Digg is starting to look like a back alley of eBay - L@@K Big News!!! OMG TEHY TOLD ME TO STOP!! - ana10g, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Especially at night - it glows in the dark!
- n8r0n, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8the "D" stands for *****.
- PunchMeIBleed, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6the power of the sun killed all those fish
- mark1372, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7They're just wringing their little fins and saying, "Oy vey, now the kids will be up all night! What, we have to listen to the that racket, now?"
- Namco, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Um, that title sucks. Instead, a title saying that 8,000 liters of Sunny D turned a whole river piss yellow is much cooler and grabs your attention.
- despy, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8Hmmm, maybe the bit that says, "The Environment Agency are also investigating reports of fish in distress after the pollution.", or the line in the Daily Mail article, "Dozens of fish were found floating on the surface, poisoned by the lurid mixture."
- Sazime, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I'll bet they would've been fine if had just been orange drink.
- michaeljh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Sunny Delight is NOT orange juice. Look at the ingredients list and you'll see it's a mile long.
- Cozmcphish, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3This is almost as bad as that Tang outbreak in the 60's. There was something fishy about that outbreak, I just can't put my finger on it.
- Namco, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3What's even more shocking is the fact that it isn't called Sunny Delight anymore, and instead Sunny D. Which begs the question... what the ***** does the D stand for then? and why keep it?
- dhuck, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@tj9991
lol... i don't think people got the joke :) - mark1372, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Wasn't Jane Fonda in a movie about the Tang crisis?
- ana10g, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5omg, brilliant
- chapium, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Probably because ground temperature doesn't fluxuate nearly as much as air temp. Sounds like a sound decision to me.
- mozillaman0, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Dump?
