R Whites Premium Lemonade, 2L

Product Information

R. Whites Lemonade was first produced by Robert and Mary White, along with other carbonated drinks. Originally sold from a barrow, their drinks proved so refreshing that the business rapidly expanded. By 1869, the company had five production units and 16 depots across the Midlands and South East of London. The secret lemonade drinker was reintroduced in 1993, starring actor & comedian Julian Dutton as the eponymous Secret Lemonade Drinker, and various celebrities have featured in the commercials including comedians Ronnie Corbett and Frankie Howerd, actor Nicholas Parsons, tennis player John McEnroe and footballers turned pundits Ian St John and Jimmy Greaves. One version dubbed the advert entirely in Japanese; another version had another sultry woman appear randomly to kiss Dutton (before he is rejoined by a lookalike of Harriet Philpin), while yet another featured the animation of Mr Benn.

Britvic acquired Canada Dry Rawlings in 1986. The merger brought together Britvic’s strength in fruit juices and cordials, and Canada Dry Rawlings’ strength in carbonated drinks. Sprite and 7 Up are lemon-lime drinks, and thus not “lemonade”.
