Verified Reviewer |Baste taste
Bought a Sunkist orange zero last night on my way home from a trip. It tasted like rancid vegetable oil. Very weird.
Preferred solution: Awareness of the issue so that corrective action can happen.
User's recommendation: But Orange Fanta.
Change in taste of Sunkist Orange
I have loved the taste of Sunkist Orange Zero. There is now an aftertaste and a bitterness.
I purchased my last. I do not like it any longer.
All I Wanted Was Help to Read Expiration Date
Rude. All I wanted was help to read expiration date.
I did not realize I had contacted a complaint number. Never provided information.
Will buy products that are not yours from now on. I have never had a representative be so rude.

Taste horrible
I bought 2 6-pack bottles and this is the first time that they tasted this badly. They are so horrible tasting that I was about to throw them all in the trash, but I thought I should let you know go from here. I have always loved the drink, but not sure if I will buy more in the future.
User's recommendation: Don't buy unless they fix the taste.
Nasty taste

I like the Zero Sunkist but I might have to find a different drink if this keeps happening this is about the 6th time it's happened in the last month.it taste like it's old or been frozen and thawed out it leaves a nasty taste in your mouth

Verified ReviewerPrice and foul taste
well if you think i am going topay 7dollars andv49 cents a six pack for sodas you are crazy. i can drink water just as well.
besides that at least 10percent of what you buy anymore has a foul odor tha you cant tolerate especially if they hav sit in a vendors fridge for a period of time. jus say you have lost dedicated customer. besides that stores wont keep diet on the shelves anymore. just saying i dont know whos fault it is but the food lion store say its the vendors fault.
i know times have been bad but not 3-4 hundred percent increase on the shelf. because that truly sucks people on ssi cant afford *** like that while youball are getting rich
User's recommendation: dont buy the product

Verified ReviewerThey taste like water
Ive dranked Orange Sunkist for years and the last year or so they taste more and more watery. They dont have that good old Orange flavor at all, theyre totally flavorless.
I buy the small 8oz cans and they taste just like water Every Time. Seems as if theyve taken the Orange Flavor out and replaced it with sugar water.
Theyre definitely not worth the money they charge. Going back to Orange Crush again.
- Taste like sugar water
Preferred solution: Full refund
User's recommendation: Don’t buy unless you just want Sugar Water!
Original Orange New formula = Bad
For the past 4 Months I have been investigating the changes to the Original Sunkist Orange formula.
I have noticed more and more retailers carrying the new 150 Cal 12pk.
Changes are as follows:
1: Cal count 160 - Now, 150
2: Modified food starch - Now, Modified Corn Starch
3: (Added) - Acacia Gum
The result. A horrible flat, bitter tasting soda.
Soft seal / pop when opening.
This could be a SE Texas issue, not sure.
Head office says
" There has been no changes to the formula "as of (12-10-2024)
" Most likely an error "
I was also told they would look into the matter, now word yet.
I have been drinking Sunkist Orange since 2011.
Furthermore, I hope this change isn't final.
User's recommendation: Call and Complain to get the original formula back. Don't buy the new 150 Cal types.

Why would my strawberry/orange soda taste flat? I thought that it would be like a pop.
I am not sure what the Date is. Maybe it’s old.

Verified BuyerThis company is not for the people!
I've returned all oranges without "SEEDS" God created "seed baring fruit" farmers market. Eating fruits or vegetables without seeds are not good for human beings. Organic does not mean the best.
- Sweet taste
Preferred solution: Stop processing/producing fake food. Genetically modified drinks!
User's recommendation: Grow your own, support local farmers
I enjoy Sunkist Zero Sugar products
I have recently switched to Sunkist, A&W, Cherry, and Regular 7up Zero Sugar products. All of these products produced by Keurig Dr.
Pepper have a pleasant taste. I would recommend them to others who want to switch to a diet soda.
I also enjoy Sunkist seasonal flavors sodas they manufacture. .
User's recommendation: Great choice for diet soda.
Complain
