Grape Nehi
Nehi
is an American
flavored soft drink, currently available in orange, grape, peach,
strawberry and blueberry flavors, presently manufactured by
Cadbury-Schweppes.
The
company called the Nehi
Corporation adopted
that name in 1928 after the Nehi fruit-flavored sodas became
popular, it had previously been called Chero-Cola (from 1912 -
1928) and Union Bottling Works (from 1905 - 1912). The name was
later changed to Royal Crown Company (in 1955), after their RC
Cola brand. It was founded by Claud Hatcher.
The
name Nehi comes from the expression "knee-high", which
was used by a route salesman to describe the height of a
competitors bottle, and later inspired the long-necked bottles of
the new Nehi soda.
