Beverages Back in the Day: Bubble Up Lemon-Lime Soda

Bubble Up® was the First Lemon-Lime Soda

Before there were soda guns, or cocktails that called for specific soft drinks like ‘Rum & Coke® and even before ‘7 & 7®’there was ‘Bubble Up’, the very first lemon-lime soda. Founded in 1917 by Sweet Valley Productions in Sandusky, Ohio and at least 10 years prior to its more popular competitor ‘7-Up®’ Bubble Up was a regional brand until the brand went nationwide as the Bubble Up Company, Inc. of Chicago. With the tag line, “A Taste of Lemon, A Taste of Lime”, Bubble Up was distributed in the Coca-Cola bottler network prior to the creation of Sprite. Monarch Beverage Company in Atlanta purchased the brand in 1978 and since 2007  Bubble Up is owned by and distributed by Dad’s Root Beer Co. of Jasper Indiana along with regional brands Dr. Wells and Sun Crest orange soda.

Bubble Up is available in Southwest Florida at The Sandy Butler Gourmet Market and all Fresh market locations®
