Declining interest in Sunnyboy ice blocks has led supplier The Daily Drinks Co. to phase out the range.

The drinks company announced in a statement that the long-time tuckshop favourites would no longer be sold due to a "sustained reduction" in demand.

"No other products are affected by this deletion, and consumers will still be able to purchase all our other popular brands, including Zooper Dooper and Quelch," it said.

The pyramid-shaped Glug Cola, Razz Raspberry, Orange Explosion, and Zap Lime varieties were enjoyed by children of the nineties but have faced increasing competition from other ice block sellers.
