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.
