It used to be called Sunny Delight, and it was in a commercial someone Gen-Xified the script by having a kid exclaim “Sweet! Sunny D!” after rummaging through the other drinks.

God only knows what this stuff is. Probably some Soviet Union time travel scam from Dimension X.

As a (young) millennial, I feel like it was always called Sunny D, though the name was Sunny Delight. Is my memory wrong? I'm pretty sure it isn't a Gen-x thing at least. It's got to be millennials.

I’m the oldest millennial and the kid was older than me in the commercial

Ah, totally misread your comment. I habitually read Z instead of X.
