Canada Dry - wikipedia Canada Dry Canada Dry Owner Dr Pepper Snapple Group Country Canada Introduced 1904 ; 114 years ago ( 1904 ) Markets Canada, Iran, United States, Mexico, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Europe, Japan, the Middle East, Africa Previous owners Cadbury ( 1986 -- 2008 ) Canada Dry Ginger Ale Inc. ( 1923 -- 1986 ) John J. McLaughlin family ( 1904 -- 1923 ) Website www.CanadaDry.ca www.CanadaDry.com Canada Dry is a brand of soft drinks owned since 2008 by the American Dr Pepper Snapple Group. For over a century, Canada Dry has been known for its ginger ale, though the company also manufactures a number of other soft drinks and mixers. Although Canada Dry originated in Canada, it is now produced in many countries around the globe, including the United States, Iran, Mexico, Colombia, Peru, the Middle East, Europe and Japan. The `` Dry '' in the brand 's name refers to not being sweet, as in a dry wine. When John J. McLaughlin, who first formulated `` Canada Dry Pale Ginger Ale '', originally made his new soft drink, it was far less sweet than other ginger ales then available ; as a result, he labelled it `` dry ''.

In 1890, Canadian pharmacist and chemist John J. McLaughlin of Enniskillen, Ontario, after working in a soda factory in Brooklyn, New York, opened a carbonated water plant in Toronto. McLaughlin was the eldest son of Robert McLaughlin, founder of McLaughlin Carriage and McLaughlin Motor Car. In 1904, McLaughlin created `` Canada Dry Pale Ginger Ale ''. Three years later, the drink was appointed to the Viceregal Household of the Governor General of Canada, and the label featuring a beaver atop a map of Canada was replaced with the present Crown and shield. When McLaughlin began shipping his product to New York, it became so popular that he opened a plant in Manhattan shortly thereafter. After McLaughlin 's death in 1914, the company was run briefly by his brother, Samuel McLaughlin. P.D. Saylor and Associates bought the business from the McLaughlin family in 1923 and formed Canada Dry Ginger Ale, Inc., a public company. Canada Dry 's popularity as a mixer began during Prohibition, when its flavor helped mask the taste of homemade liquor. In the 1930s, Canada Dry expanded worldwide. From the 1950s onward, the company introduced a larger number of products. Norton Simon took an interest in the company in 1964, and it merged with Simon 's other holdings, the McCall Corporation and Hunt Foods, to form Norton Simon Inc. Dr Pepper bought Canada Dry from Norton Simon in 1982. In 1984, Dr Pepper was acquired by Forstmann Little & Company, and Canada Dry was sold to R.J. Reynolds ' Del Monte Foods unit to pay off acquisition debt. RJR Nabisco sold its soft drink business to Cadbury Schweppes in 1986. Today, Canada Dry is owned by Dr Pepper Snapple Group, which was spun off from Cadbury Schweppes in 2008.
