I decided to visit the “beverage center” at our local Walmart to see what's in stock. I especially wanted to look at the names of some of these beverages. My hypothesis, borne out of experiences with margarine and breakfast cereals, is that the more manufactured the product type, the more creative the brand names.
Country Time Lemonade Drink Mix gets consumed in quantity around these parts, so I thought I’d check it out. According to the official website, Country Time’s name is “reminiscent of a time when it was easier to get good old-fashioned lemonade.” The powdered mix was first marketed in 1975 by a TV character named “Grandpa.” Cans and bottles hit the market in 1982. Then came Pink Lemonade (1995), Iced Tea with Lemon (2003), Strawberry Lemonade (2004), and Country Time Light Lemonade (2005). The Strawberry Lemonade is “the perfect blend of two favorite flavors: sweet, sun-ripened strawberries and the classic taste of lemonade.” Or, you could buy strawberries and lemons, and mix them with sugar and water.
