Orange Crush
This article is about the soft drink. For other uses, see Orange Crush (disambiguation).
Orange Crush was an orange-flavored soda (see orange soda) invented by J. M. Thompson of Chicago in 1906. Owned by The Coca-Cola Company, the drink became popular quickly and was widely available throughout the U.S.. Since the mid-20th century, however, the availability of Orange Crush has decreased considerably; it is now only sold in certain locales.
The soda had/has spinoffs including:
- Grape Crush
- Strawberry Crush
- Chocolate Crush
- Diet Orange Crush
- Crush Frozen Orange Dream
- Lime Crush
- Pineapple Crush
- Crush Birch Beer
"Orange Crush" is also a song by the band R.E.M., featured on the album Green. Many people suggest that the term "orange crush" is used within the song as a nickname for a chemical agent used in warfare.
