Why is International Scurvy Awareness Day on May 2nd?

Back in the 1970’s the Sunkist corporation attempted to bring awareness to the plight of Scurvy by launching an ad campaign focusing on the health benefits of eating fruit. Unfortunately, the ad campaign was a complete bust and Sunkist pulled the plug shortly after. As an homage to that early attempt, we have chosen May 2nd for our observance of International Scurvy Awareness Day.
