Back in 2008, Coca-Cola bought Dr Pepper Snapple Group’s Canadian bottling operations. That deal included the rights to produce and distribute Canada Dry in Canada.
Wait, it gets weirder. In the United States, Canada Dry is owned by Keurig Dr Pepper. So, one pop flows from two different fountains across the border. Confusing? Absolutely.
But the real fun starts when you crack open that green can. It’s not just soda. It’s a cultural icon.
The “Made From” Mystery
Read the label: “Made from real ginger.” Sounds wholesome, right? Well, a 2019 lawsuit said the drink barely contained trace amounts of actual ginger.
The company settled for a cool $11.2 million. That’s a lot of quarters for vending machines. Now, the marketing is a little more careful.
But honestly? We don’t care. We drink it because it tastes like childhood, not because we’re curing a stomach ache.
