Reader Kyle would like to share his thoughts on the redesigned “SunnyD” logo:
I over at the bottle and noticed an obvious design “flaw”. Take a look, I found it pretty funny, but I’m sure there’s a graphic artist somewhere boasting how he put a phallic symbol on a bottle of juice sold world-wide.
Pardon us, we’ll be over here trying not to giggle and point.

I’m almost a king of filthy minds, and I didn’t see it until I read the comments. Though all the mentions of “stretch” make me think it’s time to click on that e-mail in my spam folder…
OK I see it. But I agree with the rest of the comments… big stretch.
Orange you glad its not a penis?
BTW, SunnyD has got my vote for worst tasting liquid ever sold. The only orange flavor is the label!
So much for the profanity software that removed vowels… To be honest I am more concerned about the “Orange Flavored Citrus Punch” what ever happened to regular orange juice… for that matter how in the hell did cranberry get into all the other juices…
This is right up there with the topless Land O’ Lakes butter girl and the naked man on every pack of Camels. Then again, Camel has a mascot with a wizard’s sleeve for a mouth, so I doubt they care too much.
I hope they stock this next to Tang.
@Pizza_Guy: Look Lisa, I can make the Lakeland lady have boobs!
Dirty, clean, dirty, clean.

@SigmundTheSeaMonster: hahahahahaha you win this round!
This had me confused for a good minute before I saw it. I think Kyle’s got penises on the mind.
Hey, at least the water isn’t cascading out of the ‘D’.
I really had to work to see the phallicity (yeah, I went there). Maybe it’s because I can’t recognize it without a 12-inch shaft. Haha! I kid.
Small penises make God cry.
I’d rather have purple stuff.
Can’t wait to put it in my mouth!
@Riddar: I’m not sure about the OGC logo (Re: the wikipedia link)
Sunny D and cock both give you nasty viscous loogies.
Well if we’re going to imagine that the letters are phallic then lets consider the oval image that it is superimposed on, if you consider the scale thats one small dick, either that or I just have a dirty mind
A fitting logo for the Nectar of the Tards.
Whooooa DUUUUDE you got some SUNNY D!!!
When I was a teen, I never found Sunny D to be cool.
Does it still contain vegetable oil? The text is too small.
@seanmcleary: I loved that show!
It took me 5 minutes of squinting and reading comments to figure this one out. I’ve definitely seen more obviously phallic logos.
Not nearly as blatant as the Arby’s logo.
Is there a Lemon Party flavored variety?
It’s not a phallic symbol, it’s a … slumping “lighthouse.”

Yeah, the guy who pointed this out REALLY needs to get out more. On the other hand I guess we now know why they always put 100% Vitamin “C” on the bottles.
I’m with the majority — it’s a real stretch.
Dreadful, artificial, chalky-tasting stuff, anyway. Give me Tampico Citrus Punch any day.
THIS IS THE LAST STRAW, IM SWITCHING TO PURPLE STUFF
or it could be a smiling mouth–ya know, like the amazon logo.
but hey, i guess if you really want to see a dong….
@ehlaren: If you think making it all blue makes it look more like a real penis, I’m afraid of you. Or for you, depending.
I didn’t see it. Then I saw it. Now I will never be unable to see it.
@timmus: Just for the record:
Water, High Fructose, Corn Syrup and 2% or Less of Each of the Following: Concentrated Juices (Orange, Tangerine, Apple, Lime, Grapefruit). Citric Acid, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Beta-Carotene, Thiamin Hydrochloride (Vitamin B1), Natural Flavors, Food Starch-Modified, Canola Oil, Cellulose Gum, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Hexametaphosphate, Sodium Benzoate To Protect Flavor, Yellow #5, Yellow #6
Canola Oil? Seriously? What in the hell is canola oil doing in *any* beverage?
I mean, you’d almost be better off with a bottle of water, a fistfull of sugar and a grape to lick.
There’s no way that they can take the high ground over cola or purple stuff.
I almost didn’t see it until I noticed the shape of the letter D. That’s a real stretch in my opinion. You have to be one of those people who sees penises everywhere to have it jump out at you on this label…
@ehhh:
I’m glad I’m not the only one who had this thought.
I imagine Sunny D factories as horses being fed only orange juice for months straight, once they’re sufficiently flushed of anything else in their system workers start to collect the citrusy horse piss and rebrand it as Sunny D.
Two garbage, childish posts in one day. Great job Consumerist.
Not very obvious. I also think it’s a stretch.
Obviously, inspired by SuperBad:
Mildly NSFW:
@MikeSims: I like childish. I like garbage.
Why must we be so serious? If the site did not do the childish and garbage it wouldn’t be very popular.
When I sent this I never expected the response.
To those who cant see it… come on really? Its right there stareing you in the face.
To those who think its a stretch…. of course it is. Give me a break though… you really dont think it looks a little like a penis?
To those who called me immature…. get a sense of humour. If you cant laugh at this, Im sorry but you must lead very unhappy, dull lifes.
To those who got the JOKE and made their own… thank you. That was the intent in the first place.
-Kyle
P.S. I love Sunny D
By this logic, any phrase that ends with a capital “D” could be phallic. I’d say Mr Kyle’s mind was somewhere between gutter and sewer at the time he saw this label.
Call me childish or immature… thats fine. But when I sent this in it was meant as a joke. Why are so many of you taking it serious?
Thanks for all of you who posted jokes. And for the record I like Sunny D. I doubt its any worse then Coke or Mt. Dew.
-Kyle
Sunny D and Mountain Dew = Tard juice.
Both contain vegetable oil, BTW.
…it’s a rocket ship!
+ Watch video
Sunny Delight, as it was once called, always tasted like piss. I knew it back when I was a kid and they’d try to make me drink it. Hell no, give me real orange juice. My parents had no problem with that.
@Confuzius: “citrusy horse piss”
Well, they couldn’t call it “Barbaro’s Own.”
Rdcls. Grw p.
I was thinking Goatse too.
3% Juice, and 97% HFCS!
(Chief Wiggins voice): That’s a heck of a stretch there, Lou.
More like the people VIEWING the image as sick are the ones having a Freudian moment.
/blaming the OP?
Even after having it explained, I don’t see it. Maybe I’m too literal.
Theres a VERY obvious phallic usage on every Planters milk chocolate covered peanuts/cashews .99 bag, simply turn it upside down and its now time for oral phallic pleasure!

So SunnyD makes cheap salty drinks?
