First Round: Sunny D vs. Purple Stuff



SUNNY D

Seed: 7

Overview: A popular orangey drink that is bottled by Dr. Pepper...so that's kind of cool. Sunny D is mostly known for those goofy commercials where a bunch of kids chose it over all the other drinks in the refrigerator. More recently it has received a renewed popularity boost because everyone wants to be like that cute Juno girl...hey, at least Sunny D isn't as ridiculous as wearing skirts over jeans.

Pros: It's healthy, right?

Cons: I never really understood the difference between Sunny D and orange juice.

Outlook: This should be a competitive battle but it is doubtful that either competitor will be able to stand on their own against stronger foes. Let's face it...Sunny D and Purple Stuff need each other.




PURPLE STUFF

Seed: 10

Overview: Known to many only as Sunny D's opposition, Purple Stuff looks to shake the shadow of its big brother and move out on its own. The fact that nobody is entirely sure what it is makes Purple Stuff a true wild card in this tournament.

Pros: Purple liquids usually taste all right.

Cons: I just can't shake the thought that it might be grape tang. Even worse, it may or may not be the same liquid that killed Pimp C.

Outlook: This is Purple Stuff's golden opportunity. Unfortunately it has been in the position many times and those energetic, athletic youngsters always go with the Sunny D.
