Hawaiian Punch
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hawaiian Punch is the name of a brand of fruit punch drinks owned by Dr Pepper/Seven Up, Inc. (DPSU). It was created in 1934 by A.W. Leo, Tom Yates, and Ralph Harrison as an ice cream topping, and customers later discovered that it was an appealing drink when mixed with water.
In 1962, the character of Punchy was introduced in a commercial for Hawaiian Punch, eventually becoming the product's mascot. His long-time saying is "Hey, how about a nice Hawaiian Punch!"
It currently comes in the following flavors:
- Fruit Juicy Red: the original flavor
- Green Berry Rush: strawberry and kiwifruit
- Mazin' Melon Mix: melon
- Bodacious Berry: berry
- Tropical Vibe: orange
- Wild Purple Smash: grape and berry
The name comes from the source of the original recipe's main ingredients, Hawaii.
