Honestly, that Sunny Day stuff sounds perfect for a kids' party where you just want something cheap and sweet that won't stain. Riverthompson has a point about the sugar, so it's not like the old way was some health drink either. Those bright pictures on the label are just marketing to catch your eye, and everyone knows you check the back for the real info. Sometimes you just want a simple, consistent flavor that doesn't cost a lot, and these drinks deliver exactly that. It's not trying to be fresh squeezed juice, it's its own thing.

My buddy's sleep tracker kept saying he was getting deep REM sleep while he was actually wide awake watching TV. It mistook his total stillness for being asleep. He started a movie at 10 PM and the app gave him a perfect 100 sleep score by midnight. He said the data was so confidently wrong it was funny.

Total waste" seems a bit harsh for a $25 experiment. Mine worked fine for getting the habit started, the stencils were handy. Sometimes the cheap option is good enough to see if you'll stick with it.
