Hawaiian Punch
The first Hawaiian Punch recipe was developed in 1934 by three young men with an existing line of ice cream toppings. The recipe was sold to multiple eateries, soon getting its trademark in 1938. Its sales started exploding in the 1950s and soon became a national brand. One of the charm points of the beverage was its fun, tropical image reminiscent of Hawaii. Today, the brand is a part of Plano, an integrated beverage firm.
