Guess the stuff isn't that great after all. At least for fish.

Oh man! Why did no one tell me that Sunny D was that bad?!?!
I used to drink that stuff back in 4th grade. I thought it was just something like orange juice. I didnt know it was the drink of satan!!

That's some funny stuff right there!
Nutritionists: "Your drink, Sunny Delight is unhealthy!"
Gerber Foods: "Fine, we're changing the name! So there! Na na na na na na!!!"

O_o?
There are a lot of drinks out there that would kill fish if spilled to that magnitude. It's not like the fish can breathe orange juice T_T

Suddenly I am reminded of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory's chocolate river...

yeah, but i can breath chocolate. Unlike fish.
Chocolate is good.....yummm...
I'm pretty sure fish can only breath water... or is it really breathing that they are doing? doesn't breathing imply a gas or something?

I've heard some where (Animal Planet TV perhaps?) a fun fact that there is enough oxygen in your blood that some fish can live emersed in human blood. I don't recall the length of time (hours, days, months) nor the type of fish (fresh or salt water). But only that there was a positive compatibility!

Fish don't "breathe water"
Instead their gills extract the microscopic oxygen particles from the water.
So actually, they are breathing air.

Yep. Saying 'breathe water' gets the point across though. Wouldn't want to have to include that little scientific disclaimer every time one mentions the word 'fish' and 'air' in the same sentence.
