An end to summer slurping
Do you remember when the first heat of summer would burst through and you would run to the local milk bar for a Sunnyboy? The streets would be awash with orange-faced children, fighting to get the ice blocks out of their triangular ‘jail’!
Well sadly, times have changed and this rite of passage is being denied to the next generation, with The Daily Juice Co confirming that it will no longer produce these orange gems.
And who’s to blame? We are. A gradual decline in demand is the reason given by the company in a statement, “Unfortunately, Sunnyboy has experienced a sustained reduction in consumer demand over a long period of time, making it necessary to delete the product from our range of water ice treats.”
Surely they could have been given one last hurrah over summer?
What treat from childhood do you miss?
Never ever heard of Sunnyboy ..... my favourites were kohl-rabi, cailiflower and carrots, also enjoyed drinking fresh goat's milk.
