History

John J. McLaughlin was the older son of Robert McLaughlin, whose wagon factory, located in Oshawa, Ontario was the largest such business in the British Empire. His brother, Robert Samuel "Colonel Sam" McLaughlin, took control of his father's firm and steered it into the automobile business — a move which resulted in it becoming General Motors Canada in 1916. However, John also enjoyed considerable success in his own business.

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, and from the 1950s onward, the company introduced a larger number of products. Today, Canada Dry is owned by Cadbury-Schweppes, but the ginger ale bottles often bear a map of Canada as part of the beverage's logo. The term Prohibition, also known as Dry Law, refers to a law in a certain country by which the manufacture, transportation, import, export, and sale of alcoholic beverages is restricted or illegal. ...

The identification with Canada and the ownership and production by other countries has led to mix-ups in the consumer market. For instance, when the brand was boycotted in some parts of the United States because of Canada's non-participation in the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the Texan producers and British owners of Canada Dry complained that the boycott was misguided, since Canada Dry was not produced or owned by Canadians.
