Ski is an
orange and
lemon flavored
soft drink using actual orange and lemon
concentrates manufactured by the
Double Cola Company. Some have likened Ski’s unique citrus flavor to
Mountain Dew,
Mello Yello or
Squirt.
Due to usage of real orange juice and lemon concentrates, the Double Cola Company claims that Ski is one of the only all-natural sodas.
US Distribution
Ski can be found in Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Ohio, and Tennessee.
History
The Double Cola Company originally created Ski in
1956 and trademarked the soda in
1958. From the original pictures, it appears as though Ski’s name was originally chosen to be associated with
water skiing.
Another type of ski, Cherry Ski, was added to the product line thanks to the creativity in Breese, IL, a location for the Excel Bottling Company , a Ski bottler. Ski can be found on tap at many Clinton County, IL restaurants and gas stations.
In 1999, the Ski can was redesigned and now reads, "Taste the Wake."
