It's been a few years, but I think the SDC sippers had the logo pressed into them. But yeah, the photo above is pretty close to the mark as to what the sippers looked like. Is the above photo from Silver Springs, Disney, or some other Florida park?

The childhood memories are rushing back to me! How quickly, I had forgotten all about these things.

I'm trying to see, and read it, but it looks like it says "Florida Silver Springs" maybe?

This is the one from Silver Springs

Ok... Here's some weirdness associated with Orange flavored sippers.
I used to shoot the long cannon (napolean type) and the two mortars on top of the hill every night to signal park closing. great, loud fun! Much too dangerous and cool to exist as an activity any more... Anyhoo, an orange sipper full of water would occassionally find its way into the barrel of the big gun. I used a half-pound of single F blackpowder, a tight baseball sized wad of newspaper, and then the sipper "slipped" onto top of rammed load.
That dern thing would fly over the church and towards TableRock lake like a , well... BULLET! If you did not know if was in there, you could not see it fly. My buds were in on it and we would watch about two hundred yards downrange for the flying citrus.
Now THAT was fun!
And the statute of limitations has surely worn off, right?

BAHAHAHA!  Ozarkdrb, that's hilarious!  I would like to see one of those things fly from a cannon.

I seem to remember hearing a story or two about the sippers loaded into the cannon...seems like OLD GUY told me about that way back in the days I was on park. I wonder how many of those sipper remains are still off in the woods behind the church? HA!

Grape, lemon, and orange. If the sippers were before your time (like for me), take a look!

Now which one of us lucky kids will be the owners of these??

Wow. Been a number of years since I've seen one of those sippers. They are in excellent condition. Best of luck to any bidders here. And yes, they are from the early 1980s.
