You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Sunkist''' (also marketed as '''Sunkist Soda''') is a brand of primarily [[orange (fruit)|orange]]-flavored [[soft drink]]s that launched in 1979. Sunkist primarily competes with [[The Coca-Cola Company]]'s [[Fanta]] brand and [[Keurig Dr Pepper]]'s [[Crush (soft drink)|Orange Crush]] brand.

==History==
Sunkist was first licensed by [[Sunkist Growers, Incorporated|Sunkist Growers]] to the [[General Cinema Corporation]], the leading independent bottler of [[Pepsi-Cola]] products at the time. The soft drink was the idea of Mark Stevens, who foresaw the potential based on market research which indicated that, worldwide, orange was the third-best-selling soft drink flavor (largely due to Fanta).

After extensive [[R&D]] during 1977 and early 1978, in which research was conducted on taste, color and carbonation levels, Sunkist made a grand introduction in New York by franchising it to The Coca-Cola Bottling Company of [[New York City]], where Edward F. O'Reilly was president. At the time of introduction, Sunkist Soft Drinks had only five key employees: Mark Stevens, President; Peter Murphy, VP Sales; Dr. John Leffingwell, VP R&D; Ray Sissom, VP Finance; and Jim DeDreu, NE Regional Manager. It went national soon thereafter by being franchised mainly to leading [[Coca-Cola]] and Pepsi-Cola bottlers. The advertising slogan was "fun, sun and the beach" using TV and radio commercials with [[the Beach Boys]]' hit song "[[Good Vibrations]]" as the brand's theme. In 1980, Sunkist Orange Soda became the #1 orange soda in the US and the tenth-best-selling soft drink. <!--Although I am familiar with the fact that this quotes the Sunkist version of the song, I am not certain what the sentence itself means. Please re-word. Certainly "Good Vibrations" had become the "Sunkist Taste Sensation".--> Unlike many other competing orange sodas, Sunkist contains [[caffeine]] (19 mg per 12 fl oz).<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.caffeineinformer.com/the-caffeine-database|title=Caffeine Content of Drinks|website=www.caffeineinformer.com|access-date=2 December 2018))</ref> In 2010, there was a consumer recall after a batch was accidentally mixed with six times the amount of caffeine, sickening consumers.<ref>((cite book |last=Carpenter |first=Murray |title=Caffeinated: How Our Daily Habit Helps, Hurts, and Hooks Us |date=2014 |page=120))</ref>

In late 1984, Sunkist Soft Drinks was sold to [[Del Monte Foods|Del Monte]]. From late 1986 until 2008, it was produced by [[Cadbury Schweppes]] under license through its [[Cadbury Schweppes Americas Beverages]] subsidiary. Following the demerger of Cadbury Schweppes Americas Beverages from Cadbury Schweppes, it is now produced by [[Keurig Dr Pepper]] in the US. Sunkist is still the most popular orange soda in the United States.((Citation needed|date=July 2017)) 

Sunkist (as a carbonated soft drink) was sold in the [[UK]] by [[Nichols plc]], the maker of [[Vimto]] soft drinks. It is sold in [[Australia]] by [[Asahi Breweries|Asahi]] Beverages,<ref>((cite web | url=https://www.asahi.com.au/brands/soft-drinks#sunkist | title=Soft Drinks ))</ref> the Australian formulation is caffeine free. In [[Canada]], a caffeine-free version of the orange drink is marketed as C'Plus.<ref>((cite web|title=C'Plus|url=http://www.canadadrymotts.ca/brands/cplus/|publisher=Canada Dry Mott's Inc|access-date=23 April 2011|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110826102651/http://www.canadadrymotts.ca/brands/cplus/|archive-date=26 August 2011))</ref> The package indicates that there is a small amount of Sunkist juice.

In the Philippines, it was sold by Cosmos Bottling until 2001, when [[San Miguel Corporation]] acquired Cosmos and sold its brands to Coca-Cola Bottlers Philippines, Inc. As of 2013, Sunkist is sold by [[Asia Brewery]].((citation needed|date=January 2021))

[[Keurig Dr Pepper]] makes a variety of Sunkist flavors. In addition to Orange, there is Diet Orange, Grape, Strawberry, Cherry Limeade, Pineapple, Lemonade, Diet Lemonade, Peach, Fruit Punch, Pink Lemonade, Strawberry Lemonade, Berry Lemonade, Watermelon Lemonade<ref>((cite web |last=Danley |first=Sam |title=Slideshow: New products at NACS |url=https://www.foodbusinessnews.net/articles/22392-slideshow-new-products-at-nacs |website=Food Business News |publisher=Sosland Publishing |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221013193655/https://www.foodbusinessnews.net/articles/22392-slideshow-new-products-at-nacs |archive-date=October 13, 2022 |date=October 12, 2022 |url-status=live))</ref> and Orange Mango.<ref name="DPSG" />
