Back when Canada Dry meant more than ginger ale (1972)

 In the 70's, Canada Dry experimented with expanding its line of soft drinks beyond ginger ale.

Sport, with actor-comedian Wally Cox doing commercials, disappeared around the time of Cox's passing in 1973. However, there was more, a full line of flavored sodas, as demonstrated in this 1972 spot with Jackie Earle Haley, two years before he began a brief career in cartoons, and four years before the original "Bad News Bears".


Most of those sodas are gone now, and you'd be hard pressed to find anything with the Canada Dry logo other than ginger ale and seltzer.
