Over 2,000 gallons of Sunny D concentrate leaked from a UK factory into a nearby waterway Wednesday, killing dozens of fish, according to the Daily Mail. The juice, which was deemed substandard, had been sent to an underground tank where it was to await proper disposal. The tank was cracked, apparently, and sent approximately six tons of juice into a tributary of the River Parrett (right) in Bridgwater, Somerset. The spill was deemed a category one incident, the most serious rating issued by the government's Environment Agency. A category one incident can entail "persistent and extensive effects on [water] quality," "major damage to the ecosystem," and "serious impact upon man," according to the EA. [Photo: SWNS]

when the end result is Sunny Delight you really have to wonder just how bad the juice was to get rejected

It is just media spinning a story around. It was an accident. And the fish died because of lack of oxygen. Not what was in the juice.
And it was probably substandard because it failed a chemical component. Too much orange maybe. Or not enough tart-lemon-lime. Maybe Britney Spears dumped a bottle of gin into it. Who cares...
My big question is...I would like to see a bigger version of that photo. That thumbnail looks doctored.
MY two cents!

where that nervous twitch came from, though.
