Original Orange New formula = Bad

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Sunkist Soda - 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.

They 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.

Awful taste

Never buying this product again, it tastes very chemical-laden. Awful taste, and flat.

Fix it or take it off the market. Listen to your consumers.

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.

I enjoy Sunkist Zero Sugar products

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

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. .

I was transferred to another number; spoke with someone who provided an email as I had attempted to contact someone using all the the additional numbers she provided. I will email to the address provided to me:

drpeppersnapplegroup.com/contact to see if I can reach anyone who can provide accurate information on what is actually in the bottom of my last 4 - 6 packs and one 2 liter of diet orange sunkist This was my favorite drink but I'm not sure I will ever drink it again. The rating I give will be based on information provided to me.

User's recommendation: I would not recommend purchasing this drink unless the company has confirmed issues have been solved, and not blame it on "old soda", or other reasons like this. Something changed in manufacturing this producet.

New flavor

We can't get SUNKIST cherry soda anymore in Western Pennsylvania. We had Cherokee Red which was a good cherry pop but of course they quit making it.

Please come out with pure Sunkist Cherry soda!

No vanilla in... it just plain good cherry soda!

I purchased a six pack of Sunkist orange soda from Publix in Gainesville Florida. When I opened one and took a drink, it tasted terrible.

In addition to no carbonation, the flavor was rotten. I then noticed that each bottle had a pile of some sort of powder substance in each bottle. Ive attached photographs of this.

What is it that I drank? I attempted to call the customer service phone number, but nothing happened.
