Crush is a soft drink brand that originated as Orange Crush (see orange soda), which was invented by Clayton J. Powel of Los Angeles, California in 1916.[1]

The Crush brand and trademark are presently owned by Dr Pepper Snapple Group of Plano, Texas. Crush is also popular in Canada, where it is distributed by Cadbury Beverages Canada. It is distributed by various Pepsi bottlers, the biggest being The Pepsi Bottling Group Canada.

In some countries of Latin America the Crush brand is distributed by the Coca-Cola Company, using the same colors and bottles as Fanta.

Several flavors (Grape, Cream Soda, Lime, Orange) are available at most stores throughout North America; however, most are distributed only within small markets. Pineapple Crush and Birch Beer Crush, for instance, is relatively easy to obtain in both can and single serving bottle in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador, and in Fort McMurray, Alberta. This will soon change, as the Pepsi Bottling Group has recently announced they would begin distributing Crush in a majority of their territory in the United States,[2] followed less than a month later by PepsiAmericas' announcement that they would follow suit in most of their territory.[3] The changeover in distribution became official in late January and early February 2009, with the Pepsi bottlers taking over the Crush rights in those areas and the bottling rights to Hawaiian Punch (which the Pepsi bottlers in those areas had handled prior to 2009) going to the bottlers of Dr Pepper and 7 Up.

Other countries in which Crush is sold are Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Guatemala, Lebanon, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Uruguay and at one time Costa Rica, Ecuador and Bolivia.

Orange Crush at one time was owned by Procter & Gamble. Procter & Gamble only manufactured "bottler's base" which was a concentrate consisting of flavor and color. 1 milliliter of bottler's base was combined with syrup and carbonated water to create a 12 ounce bottle of Crush.
