Sunkist Fruit Mix soda

Sunkist is an iconic American brand that traces its heritage back to the late 19th century as a citrus growers' cooperative. While originally famous for fresh oranges and citrus fruits, the Sunkist carbonated soft drink line was developed in the late 1970s by the Sunkist Soft Drinks company under license from the Sunkist Growers cooperative.

The brand's carbonated beverage business has since grown into a global presence. In many markets, particularly the United States and the United Kingdom, the manufacturing and distribution rights belong to large beverage conglomerates. The production typically occurs in the region of sale to ensure freshness and efficiency; for example, European stock is often manufactured within the EU or the UK under licensing agreements.

Today, the soft drink brand is primarily owned and managed by Keurig Dr Pepper. The brand continues to be one of the most recognized citrus-flavored beverage lines in the world, often differentiated from competitors by its strong association with the original California citrus cooperative.
