Canada Dry: The Canadian Drink That Somehow Cures Everything (Except Dehydration)
Hey everyone, hope you’re all sipping on something refreshing today! 
I wanted to start a fun little thread about a drink almost every newcomer and Canadian knows — Canada Dry. Yep, that magical golden ginger ale that somehow manages to fix an upset stomach, a boring meal, AND a bad mood… all at the same time.
Let’s be honest, Canada Dry is basically the unofficial national drink. It shows up at every family gathering, every flight, every doctor’s waiting room, and somehow even tastes better when you’re sick (no one knows why — maybe it’s Canadian kindness in a can).
But here’s the interesting part:
Canada Dry has been around for over 100 years, originally crafted in Toronto in 1904. It became famous for being “Dry” because it was less sweet than traditional ginger ales at that time. Today, it’s sold worldwide — from Canada to the Middle East — all with that same smooth, gingery sparkle.
Some fun facts:
• It isn’t actually Canadian anymore — the brand is now owned by Keurig Dr Pepper in the U.S.
• It has almost zero ginger, despite the name (sorry to break hearts).
• Yet somehow, every desi mom still believes it cures stomach pain better than any doctor.
• And let’s admit it — having it over ice at 3 AM hits different.
So what about you all?
Do you love Canada Dry? Hate it? Only drink it on flights? Do you think it actually cures anything, or is it just psychological magic?
