Sunnyboys Have Been Discontinued So RIP To Your Perfect Childhood Summers

You’re allowed to cry. This is a judgment free zone.  Perhaps you might like to console yourself with some lesser frozen treat.

In a statement, Sunnyboy’s makers declared those icy geometric oddities won’t be falling out of your freezer door for much longer due to a “sustained reduction [in consumers]… over a long period of time, making it necessary to delete the product from our range of water ice treats.”

While the product’s permanent disappearance isn’t a total surprise, it would have been nice if we were given some warning beforehand. Perhaps the snack industry should adopt the tried-and-true wildlife rating system, so we could have at least found out the Sunnyboy was endangered. 

Regardless, The Daily Drinks Co stopped making ’em last month, and the Sunnyboy corner of their site doesn’t even herald their disappearance. Here’s an archived copy from June this year, resplendent in frozen glory:

Here’s the same page from today:

There is some good news to take out of this, though. They’ve declared none of their other brands are currently at risk of extinction, which is just as well: if they took our Zooper Doopers away, there’d be goddamn chaos in the streets.
