Rather than go to trial to defend its ginger content, Canada Dry ginger ale will no longer claim to be “Made from Real Ginger,” as part of a proposed settlement to a series of U.S. class action lawsuits over false advertising.
The company that makes the popular soft drink, Keurig Dr. Pepper, will also offer payments to people who purchased Canada Dry for personal use in the United States since 2013.
Those payments are capped at $5.20 per household without proof of purchase, and at $40 per household with proof of purchase, according to the proposed settlement, which does not apply to Canadian sales.
The company is now trying to give broad notice to anyone who might qualify for these payments, in anticipation of final court approval in April, according to Van Beckwith, a lawyer for Keurig Dr. Pepper.
That follows the decision of a California court last year to let the case proceed to trial, which was slated to begin this week. It would have aimed to resolve several related lawsuits from various states, from Massachusetts to Missouri.
The New York lawsuit, for example, alleges violations of state business law including “common law fraud, deceit and/or misrepresentation, breach of express and implied warranties and unjust enrichment.”
As a brand, Canada Dry dates to the 1890 opening of a carbonated water plant in Toronto by John J. McLaughlin. His “Canada Dry” Pale Ginger Ale was widely sold in Canada by 1904, and soon expanded to New York, where it was a popular mix for home brew liquor during Prohibition, and globally by the 1930s. New York remains its retail “heartland,” according to court records.

I guess so.
I can’t stand Canada Dry.
First time I tried it, I spit it out.
It’s by far the best ginger ale. I really won’t buy another brand.
If you like Canada Dry: Just go to the store and buy $40 worth and save the receipt.
No, there’s a dec 19 deadline.

Do you think your grams did the test or did she just think you needed a good beat-down?
I buy that one too if it’s available.
I love the stuff. Trader Joe’s also sells crystallized ginger which is delicious and also useful if you have an upset stomach.
It's not like we don't have a source and fairly constant supply, sick as that is.
