Talk:Sun Drop

You can pay $17 for a sixpack where? Cite your sources!! People wanna buy this drink ;P I believe that may be from sundrop.org, including shipping. They sell a six pack of 20 oz bottles for $6 before shipping. Wyldphyre 13:00, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

About the New Haven, MO thing. Perhaps this should be referred to as the Rolla, MO region (at least in the popularity part of the article.) Rolla is the major town in the New Haven bottler's market, not New Haven itself, which may or may not be readily known to the casual Wikipedia browser. I've lived in Missouri all my life, and I'm not sure exactly where New Haven is. I think it's fairly close to Washington, MO or Union, MO. Beyond that, I believe that Sun-Drop's official site says that the flavor syrup itself is formulated in St. Louis, MO. Maybe that should replace the NC and New Haven in the first line. I will edit it thus. Wyldphyre 13:00, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Wisconsin

It's pretty popular in Prairie du Sac - Sauk City, WI. It used to be bottled in Sauk City. I'll try to get a photo in a few days of the old bottling place. -- Al™ 00:47, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

It's populat in Janesville, WI, too. 24.183.47.252 05:55, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm from Shawano, WI which is one of the few places where it is still bottled in glass bottles. The glass bottle formula still includes the bits of orange pulp that confuse Sun Drop virgins. I know in Milwaukee you can find Sun Drop cans and plastic bottles in a few places including Pick 'n Save, but the prices are almost double what they are in Shawano. --TonyKlose (talk) 09:36, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Moved talk

Someone had pasted discussion on the article:

Sundrop is bottled in glass bottles by Twigs Beverages in the city of Shawano, Wisconsin. In Arkansas Sun Drop is bottled and distributed by 7up RC Bottling Company of Paragould. In Gastonia North carolina it is bottled by choice.

Moved to this Talk page. MKV 18:03, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

It's bottled in a lot of places, none of which really belongs in the article. Although I haven't fiddled with it, the list of places where it's popular should be trimmed as well. The drink is available throughout much of the South, though it is more popular in some places than in others. (There is something of a widespread belief that Sundrop is the first citrus soda, which isn't true.) I changed the place of origin to St. Louis, where it was invented.

Note that despite the way the logo appears, the name is written "Sundrop" (as in the article title), and this is how it appears on the official website. I changed several instances of "SunDrop" and "Sun Drop" to match. ProhibitOnions ^(T) 14:12, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

I just had to do the same thing.TonyKlose (talk) 09:53, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

-It looks like someone changed them all back :/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.128.209.227 (talk) 20:33, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

If you go to the website (sundrop.com), you will see that the space between the n and the d is greater than the space between other pairs of letters. That means that it is officially Sun Drop. --Khajidha (talk) 20:50, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Also, the page title on the official website is "Sun Drop", not "Sundrop". — anndelion (talk) 20:56, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Correction on Who and Where

Someone had pasted discussion on the article: Watch for the who and where to change. The article has seemingly been vandalized. Someone put it was invented in McMinnville, TN by Bobby Ray. It wasn't invented there, there's just a plant there, and Bobby Ray had nothing to do with any kind of soft drink; he's a local war hero. Keep an eye on it. ~~Dabarnes~~

February 20th Edits

I removed the link to Yellow 6, as the ingredients list for Sun Drop shows that Yellow 5 is the only food coloring currently used. I changed the link for the caffeine content to a page that showed the caffeine content of many different products by comparison. I removed the link to high sugar content, as a very cursory glance at product labels showed at least one product (Tahitian Treat) with higher sugar levels. Notice that Sun Drop does not have caffeine levels as high as products marketed for their caffeine (e.g. Jolt Colt, Pepsi Max), but it may have the highest caffeine of any product which doesn't advertise its caffeine.

I changed the origin and gave a source that said it was 1949 in St. Louis. Any changes to that without a source will be considered vandalism. I removed various sections detailing claims of popularity in various small areas. None were sourced, and they all seemed very anecdotal. I removed the link to a product at Food Lion which was called Sundrop, which is not the same name.Zhinz (talk) 19:05, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Glass Bottles

I added a bit about glass bottles being sweetened with sugar, not corn syrup. I was going to add something about how you can still see the orange pulp in the glass bottles but I wasn't sure how to word it or if it was even appropriate for the article. I think someone should expand on the returnable glass bottle aspect, as it is one thing that makes Sundrop unique. TonyKlose (talk) 09:57, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
