Talk:Nehi

message: In December 1923, the Springfield Republican newspaper in Springfield, MA, ran a contest for the new soda company. The contest was to name the "New Year Baby", which was going to become the new name for the soda. In January 1924, an article ran announcing the winner, F.A. Sweet, from Springfield, MA. References: original lithographs of the newspaper contest and winner announcement; orginal newspaper clipping from the Springfield Republican publication.  Submitted by, L.

thread_title:  Possible name origin 

message: I've always wondered where 'Nehi' came from.  Most soda's have a 'root' that their names came from, Coke, pepsi, etc.
Nehi seemed to bunk that notion.  However, after some Japanese language study, I stumbled apon 'Nihai', which means "two glasses", which would be fitting of a marketable soda name, even though putting it under the veil of another language would obscure the 'root' of the name.  Is there someone who personally knows where the name 'Nehi' came from?

message: I can't believe nobody mentioned Radar O'Reilly's obsession with Nehi Grape (he always called it Grape Nehi) on M.A.S.H. I don't remember too many other instances of a national soft drink brand getting that kind of regular exposure on a popular situation comedy on American television. ~ Voudeauxchild ~  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Voudeauxchild (talk • contribs) 22:02, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

text: This is trivia. It has nothing to do with the product other that passing mention in another media. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 10:05, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

text: I agree.  If you are going to write an article about a consumer brand, then things that change the public's perception of that brand are not trivia. It should be mentioned partly as a bit of context - it was once a more popular brand than it currently is - and partly as a very successful bit of product placement.  Radar's love of grape Nehi probably helped keep the brand viable during a time when Coke and Pepsi were consolidating their market dominance.FatBear1 (talk) 17:13, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  Two good sources for history 

message: There's very little here on Nehi more recent than about 1955. Is the name still in use in 2023, or if not, when did it stop? If it's still around, what flavors are current, how is it packaged, where sold, etc? Kokopelli-UK (talk) 11:44, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
