Great!
Really… who doesn’t remember Crush Soda?  For over nine decades kids and adults alike have been able to enjoy the fresh, all-natural sweetness of Orange Crush.  Invented in 1916, the success of the beverage was immense.  Within eight years, the Orange Crush Company had established 1,200 bottlers and found success internationally.  It became a powerful brand in Spanish-speaking nations throughout the 30s, 40s and 50s, and has become an integral part of their cultures, as well as the American and Canadian cultures. 

 

The makers of Orange Crush went on to expand their flavors with wild varieties from peach to pineapple to chocolate, as well as many others.  However it is the classic orange, strawberry and grape flavors that are held to fans’ hearts.  And sadly for fans of the original, you’re more likely to find Coca-Cola’s less-flavorful Fanta brand at a convenience store or local greasy spoon or burger joint.  However, you can bet any of the rare times it pops up on a menu, or is discovered tucked away in a cooler; the sweet rush of memories comes flooding back.
