R. White's Lemonade

R. White's Lemonade is a brand of a carbonated soft drink, which is produced and sold in the UK by Britvic.

R. White's is a brand of lemonade that has been produced for over 150 years. Robert and Mary White produced the first R. White's lemonade in Camberwell, London, in 1845. Their home-made lemonade was regarded as so refreshing that it was bought by H.D. Rawlings in 1891. The brand merged with Britvic's in 1986 when Britvic and Canada Dry Rawlings Ltd. merged.

In 1973 the popular "Secret Lemonade Drinker" advertising campaign was launched, devised by Rod Allen who wrote the slogan. The adverts featured the actor Julian Chagrin, [cite episode
