Canadian SunCrest...undocumented

#1

Post by Canadacan »

Well this is what I got for Christmas!...
A real nice SunCrest Lime flavor, usually the tougher of the flavors to find and its the first one I get! I would date this from about 1968-72. Sure hope to see more flavors show up in the near future.

Yea that's the thing hey....so many lemon-Lime soda's out there, I bet this product was in direct competition with Crush Lime! On a side note....SunCrest did have a Lemon-Lime, I have the crown from them for it.

Here is a photo of the seam. and info from Wik.

History

The Sun Crest brand of soft drinks was introduced by the National NuGrape Company of Atlanta, Georgia in 1938 as a flavor line, and sister brand to NuGrape, 2-Way lemon lime, and Kickapoo Joy Juice.[1] Sun Crest was acquired along with NuGrape in 1968 by The Moxie Company (renamed Moxie-Monarch-NuGrape Company and later Monarch Beverage Company). Hedinger Brands, LLC. purchased the Sun Crest brand from Monarch in 2007 along with Dad's Root Beer, Bubble Up and Dr. Wells brands, and licensed the brand to The Dad's Root Beer Company, LLC.[1][2] The Dad's Root Beer Company headquarters is located in Jasper, Indiana.
