What happened to this oldie but goodie?

I'd like to know too, as I am having an old drink cooler restored and am having trouble finding pictures and color schemes. I do know that the trade name is owned by someone registered on the Minnesota Soft Drink Association list. I called him once, and he indicated that he had recently purchased the rights with the intent of reintroducing the brand.

if someone is still looking for color schemes here's what their cans looked like in the '70s

How come no one is bringing this great drink back?

Are you aware of any sources of information regarding the history of Tru- Ade (when was it started by whom, Etc) I believe my grandfather was invovled in starting it (at lease he headed teh company for a time in teh 50's or 60's?

there is a Tru-Ade Company near Winchester, VA but I believe they just own the trademark ... as far as I know there's no drink production. Their # is 540-662-5484.

i was in the liquor buiness in wash. , d.c. in the 60's and sold tru ade , but i never saw it in cans.
one of the best sellers we had [as a mixer]or on hot days.---only grape and orange.

The closest thing to Orange Tru-Ade I've found is Jones Soda "Limes with Orange". Don't know why it's called "Limes with". You can get it a Panera Bread. here's a link http://www.jonessoda.com/files/naturals.html

I actually found Tru-Ade in the bottle at a small convenience store in Virginia about 3 years ago. When asked where they got they soda from I was told somewhere in Maryland. i have not been back to get it since.

anyone interested in over 200 empty bottles of 16oz tru ade orangesoda bottles, come with caps, and the orignal 7up crates that you carry the bottles in? call 813-404-8765. or email Kastan@tampabay.rr.com
