It was not just a Northern (not Nawthern) Drink. It was manufactured for the entire US. Back in the 1950s, I don't know for sure if this soda was still being Manufactured by Sweet Valley Productions of Sandusky, OH or the Bubble Up Company, Inc. of Chicago. Check the paragraph below for the complete history provided by wikipedia.. You will see that it was also being produced in Atlanta for awhile, 1978-2007 and would hardly consider Atlanta to be a city of in the North. Still being manufactured today? True. But NOT by the same mfg.
Bubble Up began in 1919 as a lemon-lime carbonated soft drink. Originally owned by Sweet Valley Productions of Sandusky, Ohio, Bubble Up was produced ten years prior to its well-known competitor, 7 Up. Subsequently the brand was owned by the Bubble Up Company, Inc. of Chicago. With the tag line, “A kiss of Lemon, A kiss of Lime”, Bubble Up was distributed in the Coca-Cola bottler network prior to Sprite. The Monarch Company of Atlanta purchased Bubble Up in 1978. In 2007, Bubble Up was purchased by Hedinger Brands, LLC and licensed to The Dad’s Root Beer Company, LLC. The company headquarters is now located in Jasper, Indiana.
