And do Canadians like to drink it?

Yeah I am Canadian we have that here. I prefer it over other brands for Ginger ale. I even have a Canada Dry t-shirt that I wear sometimes.

Yes and yes

My father's company once held a picnic in a small town nearby. It was a hot day, and their water use drained the water tower. They all went home bragging that they had drunk Canada dry.
When I was young, I didn't know of any other brand of similar flavour.

Yeah, we have the brand.. they make several flavours I think, but mostly ginger ale and tonic water.

I rarely drink pop of any kind but I consider canary dry and Schweppes to be about on par with each other as “premium,” brands of either CD store labels.

It was created here in Canada so... yeah.

Why is it called Canada Dry when it's a liquid & liquids are wet which are the opposite of dry

In beverage world "dry" means "not sweet".

Martinis can be "dry", or not, and so on.

"Dry" is a term from the wine trade. It means "not sweet." In the 50s, there was so much ad hype around it that people claimed to want to buy a "dry beer" for higher status.

"Dry" (in this sense of the word) was the only kind of beer Americans had back then.

Funny thing is today Americans CAN obtain obscure "sweet" types of beer - either as imports from England (like Brown Nut beer I had in a British themed restaurant), or from this new domestic wave of microbreweries. But sweet is still the exception and not the rule. So, if anything, "non dry" beer would be the higher status.

Thanx guys. The only alcohol I drink is beer so that's probably why I didn't know the term.

Also in the 50s, brands of wine could not be advertised, but the wine producers association got together to put up some subway billboards showing a young couple having a romantic, candlelit dinner with beautiful wine glasses featured. The caption was simply "Having a wonderful wine." Of course, people added "Wish you were beer."

Canada Dry is the "champagne" of ginger ales, and since I don't drink alcohol I sometimes pretend it's champagne.

There's also fizzy non-alcoholic grape juice sold in wine bottles that's basically the same idea, but Canada Dry is cheaper.

Do they have Hawaiian Punch in Hawaii?

Do they have Richard's Wild Irish Rose in Ireland?

Did the Cisco Kid ever drink Cisco?
