Sunkist Orange

Sunkist Orange

The history of Sunkist dates back to way before it was an orange soda. It all started more than a hundred years ago, when citrus fruit growers in California and Arizona instituted the Sunkist trademark as a mark of freshness and premium flavor. As time went on, this mark began appearing on all sorts of great products, from vitamins to fruit snacks, and let everyone know that the thing they were holding was bursting with quality.

In 1978, General Cinema Corporation, a large theater operator and soft drink bottler, created the orange soda we enjoy today and licensed the use of the Sunkist trademark for their delicious orange soft drink.

In 1979, Sunkist Soda was launched nationally and quickly became the #1 orange soda on the market.
